John Stones

[Baines' left foot]

He can pick an alright pass at times, he's got more to his game than just defending.

Didn't the USNTNTNSTNTM get turned over by Ecuador recently?

PMSL...that's like ripping on disabled kids, lad. Have a heart. x

Good debut for the lad.

Didn't have a lot to do but he looked comfortable. Be sterner challenges to come but he didn't look out of place at all.

I agree. Him Barkley and deulofou looked very promising. The rest of the team stunk the gaff out

 

[Coach]

Magnificent tonight. Future England player.

Spot on. Well said. He was brilliant. So composed and showed his talent. Reminded me of Gary Cahill but with passing ability. He looks class. And good on David Moyes for signing him for us.

Man of the match for me, but it was not hard for him to win it. We were poor all over the park.

Barkley was a class above for me.

Deulofeu and Barkley were better than him for me but Stones deserves credit for his performance.

The only area of his game that I saw there that he needs to improve is that he needs to put a foot in rather than backing off when players are running at him. Other than that, top class.

Didn't think he was poor but didn't think he was all that either. Some poor touches and nervy moments which is very understandable considering his experience. He'll turn into a fine centre half for us but I don't think he'll be pitched in a part of a back four just yet, a back five or right back maybe.

 

[Coach]

Barkley was a class above for me.

Absolutely. He bossed the game and utterly convinced me tonight that he will be our key player this season.

Deulofeu had some very good moments and poor ones tonight, no problem with that though as he has the ability to create something from nothing.

Barkley is looking special, long may it continue.

High praise.

Love this from Martinez “In any performance from a youngster I never focus on the mistakes, I value their reaction to the mistakes and their next pass, or next decision,”

The way it should be - "always make new mistakes" is one of my favourite sayings.

Think Everton need to get Stones tied down to a long contract, because I can see the Ginge sniffing again, this lad is going to be some player IMO
