Outstanding tonight for England. Looked back to his best for the first time since the injury.
Raheem also had a great 68 minutes, although I had to close my eyes when he went for that 50:50 with their goalie. Remarkably brave for a little man.He did look back close to his best tonight. Just worth pointing out to those who whinge and moan about England and the negative effect on clubs, sometimes like tonight Stones getting a good 90mins was at best a god send at worse a massive favour.
Do not normally watch England because of the treatment Raheem has received , but Stones had a great game and his performance level was back to his pre-hamstring injury , he needs a run of games to rebuild his confidence and i think he will be back on track.
And we desperately need him. Just cannot rely on Kompany staying fit, so a in-form, confident Stones is a must.
