John Stones

[Ring master]

Needs to learn now that sliding tackles in the box on the 90th minute and charging out of position is not always the best way forward

Would honestly drop him right now or tell him to keep it simple

does give me panic attacks the way he takes chances comming from the back sometimes,even more when hes taking on the forward when hes the last defender,but he got the ball today for that pen,quite clear,didnt like the way the stoke player hugged the ref either lol

He has been crap this season.

If a similar offer comes in next month, we should sell.

He was very good until jags got injured. i don't think that's a coincidence

Poor from John today but we will reap rewards if we keep playing him, he has to keep learning, top top player

He is a diamond.
He was poor today but is only young

A rest when Jags returns to full fitness is in order, I feel.

absolutely. im referring to a certain type of post.

He's having a bad run of form, not to be unexpected as a 21yr old defender, thing is the other 4 are off form as well, as a unit at the back they just look shambolic.

Sell sell sell

We really need a Shawcross type, just a no nonsense defender who is strong and good in the air. We need to start getting more aggressive we are too soft centred.

Stonsey looks like he feels the pressure at the moment.

He's having a bad run of form just as we really can't afford it. Not much we can do about it.

Exactly. We don't 'make our presence known' enough for my liking.

so it's now martinez' fault he had a bad game. did anyone on here say "why the [Poor language removed] is stones playing?" before the game started. For those blaming him, who would you have started today instead? Galloway at CB, with Baines LB no doubt?
