John Stones insists he takes criticism in his stride as he joins Manchester City team-mates at work as luxurious Abu Dhabi training camp begins

Manchester City star John Stones has insisted he takes criticism in his stride, as the defender and his team-mates get to work in Abu Dhabi after landing in the Middle East for their luxuriuous warm-weather training camp.

Stones, who moved to the Etihad in the summer from Everton, was blamed for allowing Radamel Falcao to put Monaco 3-2 in Tuesday night's Champions League stunner, but made amends a little over 15 minutes later as he turned the ball home to put his side 4-3.

The England international has been heavily scrutinised while trying to find his feet, following his mega-money move, but feels like he is heading in the right direction.
