John Stones

That tit doesn't help TBF like but the deficiencies I see in his game aren't improving ! I see the same mistakes I saw a year ago happening even more now! I'm not here to slate and cause murder as it aint my style with players, but I cant put up with it while he's making no effort to learn!!

How do you know he is getting taught properly though we just don't do defending.
I know your not the kind to slate but he will end up top notch

There is a way to go for him but he is not getting the best help from us

Doesnt help himself though, needs to switch on better and be a bit more no nonsense for a few games. Hes been way to casual last few

He has mate but he is not been handled right.

Shawcross
Terry
Ferdinand
Carragher

These guys were winning games on there own for there clubs at a young age.

Stones needs to do this now.

Playing daft balls Knee high, letting the ball come across him, standing off , being caught wrong side, failing to organise and not attacking head high balls are being taught to him?

 

[Shagster]

Jags and Mori at CB now please.

He is a young player trying to learn his trade he needs time to grow as a player.
The tactics don't help him one bit and in an ideal world should be rested time to time but the manager reckons we only need 3 centre backs for some reason

2 year vault please.

What makes you think jags and funes would be better than jags and stones?

We need that each game mate

Done

 

[sageyefc]

In summary hes unmatched on the ball albeit a little too cocky lately, defensively he has a lot to work on. His on the ball attributes can mask his defensive side at times so he gets an easy ride


Could probably do with a few games out, shame we dont have the cover to do it now though

Funes been the better performer of late

 

[Shagster]

What makes you think jags and funes would be better than jags and stones?

I have no stats

but I intuitively believe that 2 x defensive minded CBs will be better for the team. Of course the inference being that Stones first instincts are not defensive.

What is your reason to challenge this assertion?

 

[Coffee and TV]

Stones had a poor game defensively but he couldn't pass either. Sure he was due a game like this but I think he misses Jags telling him what to do
