Inspired by the Barry/McCarthy thread.
Personally, think we should. I don't think they're bad defenders, but they seem to be on different wavelengths, and at the moment they both appear to be panicking under pressure (which is never good for a back line).
We looked more assured with Stones at the back, and I'm not saying that's because Stones is World Class (yet) but he seems a lot calmer on the ball. Sticking him at centre back would also stop us sticking him at RB where he's useless.
I don't think Distin playing has been our problem, I think it's the fact that Stones hasn't been playing.
When either Distin or Jags plays with Stones, they seem to be calmer, and more composed, and I think they have a good understanding with the youngster.
