Not sold on this guy whatsoever and cannot see the hype.

Last 3 games, he's cost us/played a part in conceding 4 goals.

If Managla had played like he had today he would be getting it big time on here
 
Here come the over reactions. Before his injury he was immense. Maybe he needs to be dropped until he gets back to full fitness cos he looks well off it.
 
Confidence and momentum player. Like all young players.

He will have moments in the season where is great and moments where is shocking.

Sane, Jesus, Sterling all have gone or going through the same.

Agreed, and in Vinny's absence it's why a CB is far more important a signing than another forward so that he can be eased back after a spell injured.
 
Looks like that injury has really set him back..cannt turn as quick and at present is a yd or 2 off the pace......it was the same the other night vs Bristol.
 
Seems like the injury has derailed all the progress he made. Hope he can turn it around soon.
 
Gave him the benefit of the doubt the last couple of games due to his injury and looking a bit rusty , but he needs to step up now he has cost us three goals in the last three games and Pep will not tolerate that , he need to get his head together and discover his early season form and he needs to do it now.

Reality is though, he's had one fantastic patch for us, surrounded by a lot of absolutely terrible errors. We're all hoping that this is the blip, rather than the good patch being the blip, because we need him to be the player from those few months, rather than the one from the previous two years
 
He has had an excellent season but a terrible week. Needs to wake up and get himself back to where he was because a few more weeks like this last one and fans will be going mental about him again.
 
Go down ffs John and you win a free kick 8 times out of 10!

Looked like he was running in treacle as well today and not alone in that either.

Yeah apparently being blatantly pushed in the back is not the refs fault but his for "Not being strong enough needs to hit the gym".

He was pushed off the ball far too easily, you wouldn't get that with Vinny or even Mangala, Stones is a great passer of the ball, but first things first, he is a defender and in order to defend properly you need to have some strength on you, some muscle, all the great defenders have some strength on them. Are we really going to "revolutionize" the requirements of a defender? We can't keep making excuses, Stones is weak for a defender and needs to bulk up a bit.
 
Fouled for the second goal. Can’t believe it wasn’t called.

Still not 100% fit. Has not been good recently and is making mistakes but hopefully can return to pre injury form soon, we are going to need it.

Never going to get a free kick staying on your feet in the area.

3 errors in a week from him. Back to last years Stones this week. Maybe he has been rushed back so we don't have to play Mangala
