John Stones

[Steve Wigan]

He went into the new season with 4 CB's, One a young kid who is learning his trade, One a 37 year old who is well past his best, Another who gets muscle fatigue after one game and Jags

Then we have the RB situation, He thinks its not a priority to bring in a RB and leaves us with possibly the worst RB in the premier league as cover for Coleman

Yes he's been unlucky but its football and it happens, Anyone with half a brain could see that we looked light at the back BEFORE we sold Duffy

One defender signed in 3 transfer windows, This is all his own doing

I think you'll find that most Prem clubs went into the season with four CBs, plus a few others who could fill in at CB. The only exception would be those with massive squads like Chelsea and City. Hibbert is very far from 'the worst RB in the Prem' and he has shown that in the last three games...he also did a useful turn at CB a couple of years ago. We have not , like Man utd, had to resort to playing Valencia,a winger, at RB at times or startinng a game with one designated centre back.

 

[Steve Wigan]

Hibbert tosh, Not arsed

He needed to bring in a CB/RB, He messed up, Now we will see how he and the squad cope with these players missing

Bobby the tit

I think you simply have issues, and perhaps need a holiday.

 

[Simon Smith]

Well looks like he will get Christmas at home but it really going to mess with my dream team

That's depressing

 

[LinekersLegs]

That's depressing

The Europa and Man city games are the biggest loss, in theory at least our other CB options should be OK for the other games. Unfortunately that theory didn't work out so well against Crystal Palace or Swansea...

Alcaraz is underrated, i think we'll be fine so long as the milkman isn't sulking.

He cant change it all immediately. It´s 3 transfer windows yes, but he is only here for just over a year of what will 4 or more years with us. he is changing things from a different management style.

Most people would have said the defence is pretty much okay, lets focus on our attacking play and our centre mid. He did that, pretty successfully. The decline/poor form of our first choice CB pairing and injuries to others have just come too soon and is bad luck.

I fully trust him to continue working towards improving the squad.

There will be bad times. Like now. Stop having a meltdown every week @Del , you post relative sense most of the time and then throw yourself off a cliff in panic attacks all of a sudden.

I have no idea how you can even form that opinion considering he's played in..what, 6 games? He played two games consecutively than sat out 6 weeks with 'muscle fatigue'.

 

[Fuleco]

Shane Duffy is turbogash.

 

[strummer]

Im devastated by this . We've got two ot the biggest prospects seen in english football for years cruelly robbed from us.why are people on here turning on martinez ? Its embarrassing

 

[Donald Twain]

I was joking!

I was joking!

I apologise if any offence was caused!

 

[Baines' left foot]

This is getting a bit depressing now.

 

[Goat]

Is it just me or has the amount of people getting injured gone through the roof in the last few years?

I dont just mean at Everton, all over the place, maybe the players should go back to the pie, pint and 20 woodbines era.

ALE ! The great Elixir.

 

[bizzaro]

I love John Stones almost as much as Naismith and Leighton Baines and Seamus Coleman and Bryan Oviedo.

He'll be back and winning games for Everton soon enough.


The bossest Centre Back in the world will be back.
