Is getting better and better each game, if this lad keeps improving at the rate I can only see greatness.
Club and country captain in 5 years, some may say that is a wild thing to say but he really does play like he has been at this level for years.

Anyone checked his birth certificate? Lot of player faking their ages these days. He shows confidence and maturity of someone in their mid-20s. Love that McCarthy slots in for him and lets him gallivant up the field like he's Matthias Sammer

The lad's boss, wasn't perfect tonight, but who is ?
Jags seems to be playing himself back into form and I reckon part of that is that Stones is a calming influence and Jags knows if he gets into trouble then he can knock it to Stones who'll play us out of it. The way we knock it about at the back is scary sometimes, and it's hard to get rid of the old habit of wishing they'd just hoof it sometimes, but when it works, it's beautiful to watch.

He's ridiculously good for his age. Thought he was outstanding tonight. Olic is a fantastic player and Stones had the beating of him every time to the point where Olic wanted to get rid of the ball.
Give him this run of games as our centre half pick and we and him will never look back. As good as I've seen for a young centre half, and I hate typing stuff like that.

Yarmolenko ? Yes please
Wonderful performance by Stones tonight. Reads the game so well; such a fantastic footballing brain. His passing and visionis as good as you'll likely to see from a CB. To think he is only 20 is quite astonishing.
For a defender, he has the lot and then some. A very mature performance and a player who believes in his own ability. It's no surprise that in the last 2 games he has played, Jagielka has improved dramatically.
The lad oozes quality.

There were no flick-ons, audacious and nochalant keepy-ups over the oncoming striker's head, no sweeping long balls, no piercing forward passes, but loads of safe balls back to the keeper and clearances instead.
Feels like Jags has been in his ear telling him how to play. Hope Martinez sits him down and says listen, don't listen to arl Jags: just be John Stones. You were born to do the audacious. Jags treats the ball like it's a bomb about to go off.

I hope the young Galloway lad fulfils potential. EFC might have a fab pair of CBs for a long time.
Don't forget Browning as well...

Full on love young John Stones, going to be a top 5 CB in the world down the road. So composed and smart today. Even was named Man of the Match by the NBC crew here in the states.
