He'll be England's main CB for years because of who he plays for... Painful.
Never.How long before Guardiola orders him to hoof it ?
Isn't true in fairness.He's shit on the ball.
He appears better than he is because he glides with the ball quite nicely. Ultimately, his passing is nothing special and he keeps giving the ball away. The whole point of being a ball-playing defender is to actually keep the thing under control.Isn't true in fairness.
Maybe that is why Pep rates him.Has there ever been a more confident football player? How can you keep playing like that while making so many mistakes, he's playing strikers clean through every other game.

He's a pretty good passer actually. Seen him play some ridiculous stuff at Everton. He needed a manager to channel that talent selectively and effectively.He appears better than he is because he glides with the ball quite nicely.

It's one of the strangest things in football. It's like one day a load of people randomly got together and decided John Stones was going to be the next great CB.I don't see the potential others do.
Jonny Evans got a lot of criticism as a Utd player but his problems were more on the mental side than his talent. He was/is better than Stones.
Stones in 5 years will do well to reach Evans level never-mind Pique.

Got slated by the baldy lovers for suggesting that he should have stuck around with koemanHe needed a manager to channel that talent selectively and effectively.
Or maybe he's thinks he's PiqueMaybe that is why Pep rates him.
Was he at fault for 3 goals ?3 assists today. Imagine comparing this guy with David Luiz.
'Directly' is the important word here. There are plenty of other instances when he does some absolute clowning (e.g. last week against Chelsea, dribbling like a moron against Costa or Hazard, getting dispossessed in his own box, not being punished for it) yet goes unpunished, sadly.Is this accurate,if so Its funny that everytime the opposition score against City the Stones thread seems to be bumped?
Well then he needs to get himself on the next season of Strictly. I don't anticipate he'll be playing much football."but he's good with his feet"
What could have possibly given it away ?Sorry. but he's gash. I posted before he is worth 15 mill tops. The city fans I work with still convince themselves he is the best English cb in the prem and I'm convinced they're imbeciles .
