Laughing at all the louts wanting Stones to fail. People will always begrudge a successful young lad.

Jealousy. Get off of your fat arses and try and achieve something for yourselves other than trying to piss away last night's skid mark off the inside of the pan.

nothing to do with jealousy. We gave him his chance in the big time, one fairly good season and he's gobbing off and sulking wanting off. I used to love him, but he should have treated the club with more respect. His performances last season were abysmal as a result. I only care about everton and well he disrespected us, that's where i presume most people's ill will comes from.
 
Could you critics itemise the mistakes he made last 'abysmal' season which cost us goals. I can think of about three incidents where
he could've made better decisions, that's all.

I'm disappointed that he doesn't get Everton, but he's a top talent and I wish him well.

Don't have to directly lead to goals; his errors have a negative effect on the other defenders. Every time he twisted himself into knots had hearts in mouths around the stadium, and that anxiety became almost tangible towards the end.

Exactly, the reason Leicester's defence did well last season is because each player knew what the other was doing. If you get a maverick defender like Stones or David Luis it unsettles the unit.

Everton's defence last season was an absolute shambles and John Stones can't be held responsible. I don't remember any improvement when he was out of the team. How many times did he 'twist himself in knots' as you describe it? Playing the ball out from the back is fine if you have
the skill and confidence to do it. Sliding tackles in your penalty area aren't a good idea and I remember a couple of those, but that's about all.

Sliding tackles in your own area, dwelling on the ball just outside your own box, dribbling in congested areas, refusal to kick the ball into the stand or channels when under pressure. Bobby Moore is the best centre half we ever had, but he knew when to play and when to lump it.
