“Nice issue for the City”… Currently, Pundit reviews £250,000 per week. Martin Keown, a Manchester City player, has now commented on John Stones’ status with the club.

As an editor for the Daily Mail, the 57-year-old expressed his views.What then has been said regarding John Stones? Let’s examine it…

 


Martin Keown’s assessment of John Stones

The Oxford resident, however, believes that Pep Guardiola faces a “huge problem” in the absence of the England international.

 

Due to a nagging hip injury that has limited Stones to starting only four games this season, Manuel Akanji has been assigned the unusual hybrid role of midfielder and defenseman.

 

Keown wrote regarding the 29-year-old’s absence, stating, “City have struggled greatly with Stones’ continued absence — he has started only four games this season due to a hip injury and was an unused substitute on Sunday — as well as their inability to convert the opportunities they are creating.”Akanji is being utilized as the central defender who moves into the midfield, but his absence in the backline is critical. You want Akanji there so he can defend against swift counterattacks.”When asked to name Guardiola’s most essential player, neutrals might suggest Rodri, Bernardo Silva, or Erling Haaland. However, Manchester City’s recent form without Stones implies that the £250,000-per-week player may be the most vital cog.

 

No one at the Etihad Stadium appears capable of performing The John Stones Role as effectively as the Manchester City No. 5; this will continue to be a problem for Guardiola the longer the £47.5 million defender is sidelined.The Spaniard speculated that Josko Gvardiol might eventually assume the role, but not at this time.

 

Manchester City must locate a replacement for John Stones.

Manchester City must first determine how to maintain Stones’ fitness.

 

Txiki Begiristain, who was born in Barnsley, ought to be sifting through data in an effort to identify the maestro’s succession.Stones undeniably holds great importance for Manchester City; however, he is a relatively prone to injury. As a result, the treble champions must identify a younger player with comparable qualities to serve as a substitute for the England international during his time at the Etihad Stadium and to fill in for him when he leaves.

 

Stones will hopefully return to the starting XI as quickly as possible and remain there.
