John Stones

He's going to France and will be one of the players of the tournament.

Nah, he and Barkley are getting found out by the rest of the country at the Euros.

Barkley is a weird one. Something holding him back, has the total opposite problem to Stones, confidence wise.

However, stones is genuinely brilliant.

His twin brother? Surely you can't mean the absolute mess of a defender that's been playing for Everton for the entirety of this season?

I said less than an hour ago our problem is some of our players believe their own hype he is the perfect example if I was him I would book my holiday he ain't going to france

Exactly. The lad needs to relax and take a break from football for a couple of months before he has a nervous breakdown.I've never seen a player looked so stressed out.

I fear for him if he spends the summer in the spotlight at the Euros and a big money move away.

He's a great player but he needs to sort his head out before he burns out.

Trust me. I remember the clueless ones saying identical stuff about Rio Ferdinand; stones is absolute top drawer.

You may well be right, but he was awful today. And it was far from the first time this season.
He needs a strong manager who thinks defending is part of the game of football.

No he isnt mate he MIGHT become a top player but at the moment he is shocking

 

[Steve0]

I don't think he was that bad today. The total lack of protection from the midfield was a problem.

Stones was out of position several times, slow to pick up runners and very poor on the ball.
Overall, I think he had a bad game.

He was good on the ball. As always. Can't think of a single time he was slow to pick up a runner. Out of position a few times due to the fault of others.

He's genuinely world class.

He is a genuine talent.
But that shouldn't blind us to the fact that he makes far too many mistakes in a game to be considered a reliable defender. Playing for Martinez has been the worst apprenticeship he could have had as Roberto just doesn't understand defending.

 

[Moomin]

He was good, surrounded by gutless players today.

 

[ToffeeDoug]

Stones this season, more peaky than blinder.

Stones this season, more peaky than blinder.

I see what you did there!
