John Stones - 2017/18 performances

Needs to get asap back to the form pre injury....

the style and type of passing game we play all of our defenders will make mistakes at some point. saying that name a centre back or defender in england that makes no mistakes at all?. i actually thought he got pushed/played alright today swell.

its not just that pep rates him, he has the talent to become a top class player. anyone whos watched us this season can see that.

Fair points, hopefully he is just a bit rusty post injury.

Since he's come back from injury he's not playing with confidence,doesn't seem to have a clue what to do with the ball so takes the easy pass even if it puts us in trouble,really frustrating.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Thought he was pushed in the back and should've had a free kick tbh.

Definitely in Germany, other rules in PL though. Don't know why.

Should never have been out muscled by shergar ffs

Needs game time to rebuild both his confidence and fitness,its no big deal and to be expected.

Oh get real mate. He's a six foot plus CB who's been outmuscled embarrassingly from a tiny forward. It's the third mistake in a week he's made and he's got to improve.

Yep,he could and should have been stronger,my point is....had he been 100% im sure he would have been.

 

[Fame Monster]

Stones looked good before his injury but our high possession football (of which he is key) and Ederson's sweeping mask the fact that he is not the fastest. Against quick strikers (not that Firmino or Falcao are particularly quick), he struggles when the ball's behind him. It's probably unfortunate for him that he's Kompany's replacement because he will always be held to VK's standards but he needs to become stronger and dirtier like all the best centre backs if he can't improve his pace.

Not being 100% isn't an excuse for being weak and putting a pathetic attempt in.
