You have been against stones from day one and there's evidence to prove it. You have never wanted him to succeed, that much is very clear.

Kompany is 4th choice. His injury problems make it so, and it will take more than 2 games in a row before he has proved otherwise. Laporte is in no way ahead of stones in the pecking order, he's only just got here and hasn't really had chance to show much yet. Stones was in poor form and has been given a break. So What? Happens to everyone. You are gonna be left with egg on your face, I'm sure of that. His number is up PMSL

In fairness, whether he has been against Stones or not, there is a legitimate argument for him being fourth choice at present.

Otamendi has been consistently good, Kompany has been vwrv good in his last few appearances and Laporte has shown a level of class that can be admired.

Based on all 4 players most recent efforts, Stones is clearly 4th best. Now, whether TS has an agenda or not I don't know. But the facts are the facts.

I think that has been rubber stamped tonight. I don’t know what’s wrong with him currently. Been so poor and nervy since coming back. He won’t be getting anywhere near the first team in important matches if he keeps this up.
 
Don't think he did a huge deal wrong but certainly looked nervy. That injury seems to have come at a poor time in his City career.
 
This injury hit his form is a good excuse for 1-2 weeks after injury but not like 2 months after...

For me he became 4th choice defender replacing Mangala with Laporte coming in.

I dont want him to start any CL games we have left and doubt Pep will start him unless red card/injury to other CB's.
 
Honesty just don't think he has the mentality to be a top footballer, he looks like an Arsenal player. Looked great for a couple of months when his confidence was up, but has been pretty awful the rest of the time. It's not even just the individual errors, it's that he changes completely in the way he plays when he's not confident, he becomes an absolute coward of a defender instead of a risk taking front foot defender.
 
Hes my favourite cb but i cant pretend to defend him and defying the fact, hes a liability nowadays very nervy when on the game..
How come from our best cb in first half of season to become 4th choice cb atm with just a hamstring injury..
I just hope its temporary, i like him to doing gud but.. not like this.
 
Really didn't think he was that bad tonight. Him and laporte both made some decent interceptions and clearances. It was a lax performance from a heavily rotated side. He'll come good again.
