John Stones

[davids]

Big game for him today against the ex RS lummox.

Big Sam subbed him in the game at Goodison last year,don't think he won a ball in the air that day.........maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that.

Stones was excellent today. Some of his tackles were epic. Coolness under pressure.

 

[mkrudden]

Had a bit of swagger back today.
When he's in that mood there are few better in this league.

West Ham fan on 606.

"I have not seen a young centre half with such poise and skill since Rio was coming through"

Today Johns body language said "I'm the best defender on this pitch".

Yep. Didnt catch all the match, but even though it nearly ended in disaster, that mazy dribble though West Hams midfield was epic!

His tackling was a thing of beauty on a number of occasions. Something that gets over looked because of his grace and guile with the ball at his feet I think, but it's a sight to behold how easily he can disposses an opponent so cleanly.

So happy his body language is back to its best, was worried about it for a bit. Hopefully now his body language can kick on and fulfil the potential it promises.

If everyone had body language like he had today we'd be top of the league no problem.

Didnt he do, what is becoming a bit of a trademark, another sexy turn deep in the box? Seemed like he took at least 2 WHU players totally out of the game.

Yeah he did one in either half actually.

 

[jinkyali]

My one worry with him is I sometimes think he tries too much, to be too cool, to be too clever.
Most arent as good as him and sometimes he is on the verge of leaving his colleagues in utter danger on our own six yard box.
Maybe I am nit picking .

Did he? Cool. Only watched up to West Hams goal.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

He was good today,nice and solid,a couple of "Bobby Moore"like challenges at the great mans own ground too,looks to be building a decent understanding to with Mori(so glad we brought this fella in,in the light of Jagielka's absence)

 

[Lazio]

Probably the most accomplished, consistent defender of his age in Europe. Dealt with Carroll superbly today; he's 'officially' 6'2 but to me seems a fair bit taller. Anybody know if this is accurate?

 

[Titus Bramble]

Was boss today. Love when he goes into a slide tackle he seems to have the longest legs in the world. The galute they had up front didn't get a look in.
