John Stones Scout Report

John Stones continues to showcase his versatility at Manchester City, excelling as both a centre back and a defensive midfielder. Though his ball recovery figures lag behind his peers, Stones compensates with an exceptional ability to keep possession and distribute the ball efficiently, highlighted by his impressive ranking in ball retention. Notably, his remarkable aptitude in chance creation and progressive carries stands out, hinting at his willingness to join the attack and influence play from deep areas, a trait not normally associated with a centre back. However, Stones' aerial prowess leaves much to be desired, as he struggles significantly in aerial duels. His overall duel win rate is commendable, indicating strong one-on-one defensive capability on the ground. With a significant involvement in the midfield third, it's clear that Stones thrives as a pivotal link in Pep Guardiola's system, adept at transitioning play and supporting forward moves, albeit not without occasional defensive lapses. This well-rounded style of play makes him a fascinating player to watch, bridging the gap between defence and midfield with technical flair and intelligence.
