I know Grealish will get the plaudits, but Stones in mid is just a standout for me. He reads the game so well that he doesn't have to panic. His positioning is superb, his calmness and ability to find space and make a pass to a free player compliments Rodri's hectic style.
I knew he's make a great mid and I hope Guardiola only uses him in emergencies for defence. His future is in the middle and, unfortunately, that might mean letting Philips go.
As people know, I've stated Rico Lewis isn't ready for this level and Stones shows exactly where he should get to.
Superb individual performance and superb team game.
