Poor today. As above, not convinced he is the answer.

Stones didnt look shit.
I don't think otamendi did imo. There were two big problems to the left and right
Some lunges in a panic,was better after a pep talk at halftime,needs to stay on his feet and i think most games he will
I'll bet Pep has told him a thousand times not to lunge in but he did. The look of panic on his face was there for all to see.
He was inconsistent today, poor first half and then good in the 2nd. I won't judge him personally today because he had Fernando in front of him and Zaba to the right. I know Stones had the same scenario but Zaba, Kolarov and Fernando were the main issues today.

He is what he is.
A player who can produce top level performances but is generally, not especially good over a typical 90 mins.
A good 4th choice cb who we can probably get away with & still win stuff, if he has to play more often, but not ideal.
A great example today & typical Otamendi, was him running under a throw in, completely misjudging he flight of the ball, & giving away a corner. Then clearing the corner, with a towering header.
That's how he was in Spain & how he is now.

Our best defender for last 2 years.
Better than kompany and better than stones.
People who write here that he is not a good defender don't know anything about football.
He was great last year against PSG and Madrid for 4 games, this season he is better than stones, people just want stones to be better, because of his age or price or nationality, but stones has to learn more to be at his level.
If we didn't have him right know and instead of him mangala or denayer or both of them imagine our deffence -> Kompany, Stones, Denayer and Mangala, it would be disaster.
He is one of the best central defenders in the world football right now, member of one of the best national teams and ffs be more grateful, hate this kind of approach.
If we are going to win titles this year, it would be otamendi in central defence who has to be playing his best football, not stones. His importance is huge for us, start watching football without hate!!
