Are you joking about stones , il give you the fullbacks

Carvalho had won the champions league , and had just been part of a Chelsea team that conceded 15 goals all season when he was stones age

He's was one of the best defenders in the world at that time

Am i missing something? Carvalho was 38 at the time. Stones currently is better than Carvalho was at 38 surely?

Carvalho was 36 .

I'd still rather he played CB for a couple tournament games than stones because unlike stones carvalho could defend very very well

Stones is better on the ball ofcourse ...Maguire is simply not a top level defender I'm sorry , never will be

Ah right ok dates mixed up in my head .. I mean yea 38 he's past his best .
I mean the ability difference isn't comparable either tbh ..stones was never at any age as good as carvalho .
It's like saying Matthew upson when he was 26 was better than Nesta at 36 .

He wasn't because he was never in that league of player to begin with

Maybe not, but I'd rather have a League winning CB starting for us than a 38 year old legend. But thats just personal preference.

You can either play to your strengths or try to compensate for a weakness. The great Italian sides of the past had their strength in being almost invulnerable at the back, so just had to nick a goal from somewhere. Others like Brazil got through with appalling goalkeepers and average centre backs because they were an irresistible force in attack.

We do not have world class keepers or centre backs, but we are overflowing with quality going forward and at full/wing back we have quality too. Needs a manager who isn't afraid to let the shackles go

Like I said catching up, Neymar has been doing it for years, and most players do so. If you can get away with it - do it

Doesn’t matter whether it neymar or or sterling... it’s cheating and needs to be stamped out by authorities. Need to be retrospective measures against players and teams
