John Stones - 2016/17 performances

[Skip Donoghue]

I do wish he would carry the ball out more from the back he has the ability and showed it again in the 2nd half....I thought when he did it against Monaco in the 2nd half it allowed us to get a foothold in the game....and the same today allowing us to pin Liverpool back at times

Agree with that. Stones was absolutely mustard today, and RM will deffo be in for Otto if he keeps playing like that.

Mention for Willy too - marvellous game, and saved our bacon a couple of times

Apart from Sagna's cameo we did well as we could defensively.

Agreed mate

We sure did, didn't we :-)

Played very well today. Some crucial interceptions and his tackle on Sane was quality.

We might have to wing it with Fernadinho at RB ;).

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Great again today. That's back to back MOTM for me and I've been slating him on here. Keep it up Stonesy.

But the real question we all want to know was how those cagoules performed today in that rain? ;-)

Pep Guardiola: "John Stones has more personality than everybody here in this room. More balls than everybody. I love this kind of player."

Haha that's a great quote.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

You saw why we bought him mate today. Hope he builds on this.

Unfortunately I still think bedding him in cost us a title this season, but hopefully he's a rock for a decade of success. Great signs lately.

Ha, you got in there before I deleted that. Yeah, very much agree but I'm not sure he was alone in that. Bravo and Clichy have had a huge impact too. I'd maybe make a case for Aguero as well. If we can sign this season off and use it to bed in Stones, Sane and Sterling, I'll take that.

Stones was good today, getting better all the time, shame he's not got a decent partner

 

[City_Sean]

He's been very good recently and today was another massively impressively performance from him. His use of the ball was exceptional and his tackle to deny Mane was world class.

Just ridiculous.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Just ridiculous.

Really? Because I've easily witnessed 10 points worth of gaffs from him leading to goals in sept-Dec.

I've seen twenty points go begging, and a place in the CL quarters because of the poor finishing, and another twenty because of what the refs have diddled out of us.

What a veiled compliment that is in a room full of journalists with micropenises and peas sized bollocks.
