He does carry a bit of a natural grimace (he's from Yorkshire, what do you expect), which makes him look really unsure and worried.

Now he looks like a toddler trying to pass a troublesome poo.

Don't think I saw him sulking etc when he came one. It's hard to read body language, but the young lad seems like he has a professional attitude to me, and as long as he is performing well, I couldn't really care less about his 'body language'.

Well it's not really as simple as that. You want your players to be happy to be playing, as well as playing well. If Stones is playing well but is clearly grumpy or angry, then you feel they're either going through the motions with no commitment, or at risk of snapping if decisions suddenly don't go their way.

I would disagree. Sports people play with different emotions and express their emotions in different ways.
He wasn't sulking though. It's fans imagining it, honest.
He's come on in fits and starts in the last games when we've been under the cosh and he looked a bit nervous.
I completely agree with Martinez.
He looked back to his usual self on Saturday.
The form of Jags and Mori has now dropped, so he should come back in - either in a three or at the expense of Mori - who Chelsea and Villa games a-side has been woeful in the last few home games.
This 100%.
Stones has never looked arse.
That's what made him so good in the first place - composure and that sense of being 'above it all'.
What do people want him to do?

Well I don't mean I expect to see him running around grinning and waving to the crowd. But it's very clear to see when a player is 'happy' through their body language, even when they're screaming and hollering.

Defend.
A Roberto Martinez, Ian Halloway, Kevin Keegan side is always going to concede, lots.
He sets up to score goals, not defend. He's open about that;
Clean sheets develop confidence and form for 'keepers and defenders..
It's a little wonder our defenders and goalkeepers form have gone to the dogs.
Stones' is also told to play in possession, it's his responsibility to connect defence to attack. He's briefed to play that way, then fans get on his back for dwelling on the ball/playing as he's no doubt told to.
