He is not mate, he is the best cb i've seen at the club since Ratcliffe, and that's as big a compliment as i can pay a player, from memory as well ratcliffe made his debut and played a bit early on at lb before getting switched to cb where he became a legend
Settle down. He was up against two 17-year old strikers today. He had a brilliant game and I think probably deserves to start the game against Arsenal.
He has looked a bit shaky in previous games, but his confidence is growing and he was spot on today.
Agree, the way that Luiz can sashay up the field used to be very similar although Mourinho is coaching that out of him/playing him in midfield, hardly seen him pass the half way line as a defender recently. But Stones is much better than Luiz at keeping concentration when we are defending. Think Barry also drops back to cover when Stones goes up.He's playing the type of football that no other CB in the league can play, other than Luis, who can't really defend that well.

Dunno' if its an over-reaction from myself, people can call me out on it too.
I think he has the potential to be better than any center half we have had in twenty years.
I also believe ability wise he is better than any center half at the club, including Jagielka and Distin.
I would also be perfectly fine with dropping Distin and playing Jagielka and Stones for the rest of the season and next season also.
Last English defender who came along playing like that was Ferdinand in his early 20's, but stones is technically better on the ball and a better passer like
And the thing is, Ferdinand had it coached out of him by Fergie. Martinez will encourage and improve it.
Martinez tried to sign him at Wigan as well. Good job Barnsley decided to sell to Everton.
