John Stones - 2019/20 Performances

[Marvin]

I’m still hopeful JS can find his form and become Laporte’s regular partner, he was very good yesterday against a lively attack and I can’t remember him giving the ball away.

I agree. I said after the game to the people next to me that he was brilliant. Fernandinho played well too, and MOTD chose to highlight him, but for me it was Stones who was MOTM. Stones is back.

No, your point was he has not shown any signs of improvement under Pep, I did say this in an earlier post.

I also said that was why I replied as it was utter crap, he did improve as in the 100point season he was fucking imperious at the back and I also said he is out of form.

A whole 8 years support, ah well, I best put myself back in my box and bow down to your superiority and knowledge.

As for the criticising players bit, did you not read what I put in the previous post, I take it you didn't as you replied yet again lol

Folk's come on and say fuck me he was shit and leave the thread, then there are others that will argue black is white with any other City fan that disagrees with their assessment of the player, I always wonder what you/others get out of it, some of the player threads are full of this shit, VK's some folk had him finished and he was a liability and was just embarrassing himself, Zabba's the very same, like I said a guy argued for weeks that David Silva was overrated and was actually shit, at this point I feel like screaming "you have said your piece now shut your fucking mouth and move on" but I am always far too polite to be that rude.

It’s one of the reasons to avoid match day threads during or just after. The ridiculous criticism of players that have won trophies for us is mind numbing. They may have off days or make mistakes but as long as they put the effort in we have no divine right to win every game.

i think we'll be looking to buy another centre back next summer tbh that was our biggest mistake this summer. im not sure what happens with stones not sure he'd be happy being third choice. Either way i hope he gets a good run in the time and finds some form without laporte being next to him.

The only thing John was great at yesterday was hiding behind Fernandinho and flattering to deceive. Defensively he’s a non-entity.

Probably his best game in a while for us, not perfect in the first 20 mins or so but really grew into the game, keep it up John

Thought he played well last night, we were exposed at times last night and it was all the space in front the back line that was giving us the problems making it difficult for Stones and Fernandinho. Made some important interceptions, used the ball intelligently and looked composed.

Played well. Needs games. Passing out from defence and defensive covering excellent yesterday.

Think he’s playing really well at the moment now he’s getting a good run of games for us.

For me, he’s definitely got elite potential. His injuries or being in-and-out of the team has hampered him though as he loses the flow of playing - like Kun does.

But I’m excited about the lad!

Played well on Saturday, keep up the good work John.

Thought he was solid and confident.
