John Stones

Stones has great potential but with his lack of experience you can see he has got a mistake in him. Our most consistent defender by far is Distin

Just going to post virtually that mate. The defence looked very poor today so Jags coming back in for Stones is a must. The young lad has been fantastic though and the natural long term replacement for Distin
 
people say he can pick a pass....yeah a pass to the opponent. nearly let swansea players through on goal on about 3 occassions but for their inability to punish us.

and who remembers when stones was ball watching and waiting for the ball to come for him last week against cardiff i think and the striker just smashed him out the way and was through on goal.
 
He's prone to at least one daft mistake a game and he made another one today, but as this is the lads first go at PL footy you have to give him the benefit of the doubt. He's already looking very promising, the fans at the game just need to get behind him as he seems to feed off the positive vibes.

I must be watching a different Stones to you. I see a nineteen year old lad taking the piss out of top class strikers for the most part of games and being as comfortable on the ball as I've seen for a centre defender at that age.

He's boss right now and will only get better. Hopefully he won't get beauts on his back as they are going to look like dickheads when he turns out to be the player he will be.
 


I've been watchin centre backs needlessly give the ball away for years.
stones is still a teenager who doesn't look out of place playing premier league football, if a few stray passes is all there is, that's nothin really

looks a good player
 
Made a few mistakes today but have Jags and Distin never made a mistake or had an off game? The lad's class and learning the game at the highest level when centre backs rarely get the chance to do that. He'll pack on some weight over the summer and he'll turn in to a good Rio Ferdinand.
