John Stones - 2017/18 performances

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

He repeatedly failed to track runs in behind him, got caught on the ball a couple of times and was generally just well off his best. He's shown he's a much better player than that

well tbf he is just coming back from injury. once hes fully back up to speed he will be fine.

Was poor last night and needs to get up to speed again pronto

I think he will. He seems much more mature this season and I'm sure with any mistake he makes Pep and his staff work with him on it.

Looks the sort of player that needs to be playing well regularly to have confidence in his game,otherwise we are back at Page 1 of the OP.

Absolutely. Anyone know whether Vinnie is ready?

Always for the next game according to Pep but then he never is! Can't see him starting anyway.

I would rather John played anyways as he is the future for us and needs to get more minutes to get his confidence back

 

[FlemishDuck]

He was mint before the injury, now i feel he needs a bit of time to get into the groove.

 

[cadds92]

I still think the primary reasons for Stones’ improvement this season are down to Kyle Walker on his right, Otamendi on his left and Ederson behind him.

Stones has been my favourite player this season but he needs quality around him to feel comfortable playing his own game I think.

He's 23 until May, for any CB that's young, only 3 years older than Tosin.

Long term no doubts at all - hes captain material. But his form going into the anfield game is a worry. Hopefully he can have a big game and kick on from there again

can give him benefit of the doubt as he has just returned .... the penalty kicked he conceded was due to Mangala

No, it was his bad decision, he had no need to dive in like that.

We had Bravo in goal so he's probably thinking "if I don't do something he's going to score".

hes literally just come back from injury. his form shows that. its only two games swell

Well unfortunately we've no more games and very little time before the trip to anfield, hence why it is a worry

Why doesn’t he close the ball down when there is no one miles near him with only the opposing attacker bearing down on goal?! Step up and challenge for the ball.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

He simply makes too many mistakes. He’s kickstarted our implosion today
