Did he have any defending to do?

He didn't exactly step up into midfield and give the midfielders the impetus to go forward

Malta could easily have scored a goal from a free kick when the defence switched off

If your logic is that he had to occasionally win some headers & some tackles 2 on 1 with Cahill against the 'dangerous' Maltese striker then your right he is clearly mustard!

He's moved on to bigger and better things

He wants to win titles and play against Europes best and not just be a "Cult" player at a midtable club.

It took a step up for him to get this England place...

Big step up playing against Malta

When he was playing for Everton, he didn't even play for England at the Euros. Now at City, he's a certain starter every game.

Nobody played for England at the Euro's

Stones didn't even get selected for the starting XI when he was an Everton player (at Euro2016) but he's one of the first names on the team sheet now he's moved to play at a higher level.

Yet two City players managed to be selected and let the nation down......funny that

But, aren't we talking about Stones here? You stick to your tangents why don't ya...

But they both 'stepped up'

To.........


Flop

So, you start an article about Stones. Once your pants are around your ankles, you talk about other players.

Which side was Stones playing for when he made his England debut?

He hasn't managed to play international tournament football while at city has he??

Which side was he playing for when he was dropped by England???

And, pray tell me, how many international tournaments have there been since he started playing for City?

How many champions league group stage matches did he play for Everton?

So he isn't good enough to play at an international tournament since signing for City

your wumming has become tiresome.

Since he moved to a 'bigger' club he's looked class. He was even dropped from the Everton team last year.

So City purchased a player not good enough for Everton?

No, City purchased a player too good for Everton...

But not good enough for the Euro's it seems

You could have had Cahill for much less

Deemed not good enough for England because of what Everton had done to the poor guy.

How quickly he has become one of the first names on the teamsheet and he's only been at City a few weeks.

We can afford it.
