John Stones - 2017/18 performances

Overall you have to say thus far - he was shit became pretty good and now is shit again...Get rid in the Summer.

Several times last night he simply kept backing off and I was willing

him to put a tackle in, but he seems to be bereft of confidence and timing as to when to challenge. Very disappointing considering his earlier form this season.

His main gear seems fell off on leicester pitch, need to find it asap..

Too weak when challenged by the muscle men. Doesn't have the pace or nous to handle Aubameyang, so, Kompany and Otamendi for me on Sunday. Laporte on bench, Stones misses out

Goal had very little to do with him, but he was dreadful, again. Back to his worst at the moment - weak, passive, indecisive. Needs to get his confidence back somehow, and start being much more aggressive - both with and without the ball.

It's hugely worrying as we've spent a fortune on him and so far had three months where he's been at the required standard.

Him and Laporte were all over the place against a team with about 20% possession. That just shouldn't be happening. Stones seems to lose confidence remarkably easily. Very worrying. He doesn't even attempt to play on the front foot any more. Just his old backing off, passive bollocks.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Was never good and we all knew that but was given an easy pass because of his nationality.

His problem is summed up in your first two words.

All the attributes of a great player apart from the vital mental ones. Unfortunately they're the hardest ones to really develop. Can see it in Pep's exasperation with him.
