    But surely in a game where we're not only expected to win, but to have the lion's share of possession, John Stones would be more suited to playing tonight? A proper ball player who can act as a play maker half the time!

    Bang on. Cahill and Smalling can't thread a good pass to a forward. All they do is follow the Hill manual of passing to another defender. It's great for the possession figure but it won't win matches.

    Stones distribution is better than any player currently on the pitch for England, defender, midfielder or forward.
