Quite unbelievable how many mistakes Stones has made this season that led directly to a goal. Must be at 4 or 5 now I guess.

Just watched the highlights of United/Pool, and I must say that United looked good, even though they got away with murder (almost literally with Pogba's strangle hold. At minimum it's ABH irl :lol:), I mean Oliver was deffo in the United tank on this one. Pool defended with their lives, especially in the 2nd half, and Mignolet was deffo MOTM.

Looked like a good match though, sorry I missed it.

Was really surprised that Liverpool didn't put two past them . Then Fellaini came on and they hit it long over the press simple but still the most effective way to counter it .

Was it the same ref who blew us up 7 seconds early as we were about to lump the ball in against Bournemouth refing United Liverpool? I'm 99% certain it was. United had the ball similar position similar time remaining not only did play continue it did so for another 15 or so seconds after ending only when Liverpool had a goal kick.

I'm not being petty or maybe I am.

Maybe a bit too flavour of the month but damn though, Stones...

Can't believe how bad he is. Doesn't really help him that Pep hasn't put in a good structered defence. He's young, he needs a good partner that has defense as his first priority. Bravo behind him doesn't help either and Clichy isn't exactly a good left back. Still though, he does some stupid ****, not only losing the ball, but stepping in when he needs to hold off, walking backwards when he needs to be aggressive.

Wow the opinion change about Stones around here is virtually a 180 , he's still a good player just going through a rough patch . It's not easy for a young defender from England to grasp Pep's philosophy it's almost counter intuitive for them .

He is still a good player but his currents tribulations can become a real mental block for him. He will need to be strong and focused to overcome his nightmarish season so far.

Otamendi has been magnitudes worse than Stones but he's not English. Sucks that his last 2 coaches have developed his on the ball skill instead of focusing on how to lead and work properly with a backline

Clichy being part of said backline makes things a bit difficult but still
