What does that have to do with John Stones' performances?Gutted we’re not getting Jorginho. Obviously transfer dealings are complex and none of the journous can accurately report the real reason or reasons of why this deal fell through but if it was money, I struggle to understand why we’ve taken a hard stance to save a few million quid because now every club knows we desperately need a defensive central midfielder and will attempt to fleece us.
they aren't though, you're just exaggerating. Considering he was doing young's, maguire's, trippier's and henderson's jobs for them for most of the tournament it's unsurprising that he eventually makes a couple of partial errors.
Stones has also developed into a major goal-scoring threat at set pieces. He was a defensive header off the line away from netting a goal that prob would have seen England lining up on Sunday.
So it was actually Henderson's, Tripper's and Maguire's fault... Roger that.
Hahah sorry.. wrong threadWhat does that have to do with John Stones' performances?
:)Hahah sorry.. wrong thread
He scored three goals in the CL and also a couple in last pre season. He's very good in the air and a big threat.Let me get this straight. He scores two goals (his only goals in the English shirt) against a terrible, terrible Panama side. He scores 0 goals, 0 assiast and creates a total of zero chances during the 2017/2018 PL season, and all of the sudden you see a goalscorer in the making?
He has qualities that are far more vital to a possession oriented team, but surely you can not claim that goalscoring is one of his virtues?

No it wasn't, sure he got caught daydreaming on the ball in midfield with about 10 mins to go in regular time and Croatia should have done more with that opportunity.
I think he'd a good tournament, as did Maguire.
But don't act like he was flawless.
The guy has lots of talent, he's proven that. He also has one f**k up in him every 90 mins. We have to accept that because that is the most consistent thing about him to date in his career. And before you get all defensive on him again, I firmly believe he's gotten nowhere near his ceiling and we'll see a better Stones every year for the next 3 or so, but that error will always be sat there waiting to be exposed.
