Stones little smile at the beginning when Rio mentions 2 goals conceded in 18 games with him playing shows he’s back in love with football, he’s been absolutely quality this season with Dias, big test for them both on Sunday tho.

[@mrhussain9008]

Not his biggest fan, but he looked dominant Vs Liverpool didn't give Firminho a sniff

[@ashtongorski4167]

John stones and Ruben dias are the best CB pairing in the world right now

[@imagine2234]

It’s nice to see John is become what expected of him as a defender!!!!!!!.

[@timothypeters6694]

Hope we get to see more of Laporte, Dias,stones playing together

im so happy stones has turned a corner and found great form again

[@northlondonsmostred-arsena9544]

Stones gotta be starting for England at the Euro’s! bench that fridge maguire! 😄

[@MrGameControler]

Think they'll be a partnership tbh, though I would actually like to see Stones next to someone like Keane, Holding or Ben White to see if any of those guys are better at organizing the defense. Don't expect many of them will get the chance though. For me, Maguire and Mings are never going to transform the England defense.

[@iPro3million]

Maguire is England’s best centre half and will be first choice centre half for the Euros. Make no mistake about that

[@DegriffaDylan]

@@MrGameControler dont be daft mate, maguire is englands best centre back and will be first nameon the sheet at cb

[@kel-bq2ro]

Diás isn’t English, he won’t have Diás there next to him, just rememeber Nations League vs Netherlands shocking performance by him

[@crypticsilence0748]

Maguire + stones

[@RobertBernardoKim]

Glad to see john's back. Cheers!

[@nlizzy9071]

Fair play to Stones he's managed to turn his career at City around👏🏾👏🏾 n now he's the main defender alongside Dias🙏🏾🙌🏾 everyone thought he was finished at City including myself👍🏾👍🏾 especially when Laporte came in that was Pep literally telling Stones to cut loooool🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️ but he's made a mad comeback🤧🤧 n now he's probably even the best English CB atm❌🧢

Humble Rio with random pictures of himself on his mantlepiece. And a random pin-up on the top left above him. Unless that's also him.

[@yoyo9winner]

CB pairing of Mings & Stones for England would be gold. LB deffo Shaw > Overrated Chilwell anyday. RB could acc be TAA without having to be worried bout the defence. GK has to be Dean Henderson or Pope. Have Jordan Henderson cover Trent as he always does. DM would be Declan Rice or we could play with a no.8 box to box instead. Now the CAM, RM, LM and ST are gonna be interesting. A lot to choose from, Southgate is gonna have a headache.

[@munzirnorman208]

walker over trent all day long

[@yoyo9winner]

@@munzirnorman208 only reason I would say TAA is cuz Henderson and him have that connection already ygm? Henderson covers his spot when TAA goes up and does gd one twos with TAA if needed.
