Alan Shearer insists Manchester City defender John Stones would have been dropped by now if he was a young centre forward that kept on missing chances.

Shearer, who was speaking on Match of the Day 2 after City's 4-0 defeat by Everton at Goodison Park, slammed Stones for constantly making mistakes in the City backline.

The former Newcastle striker was debating with Phil Neville, who believes that the 22-year-old is a 'top top player' that will keep on improving.
