What is pleasing about the form of John Stones is that he is not doing anything you would regard as outstanding.
That is the consistency you hope to have as a defender: keep clean sheets, go unnoticed. Then all of a sudden people start to recognise it.
Did he do anything differently against Marseille on Wednesday to the first game he played? Probably not, and that is the consistency of performance.
I was half-worried for him at the start of the season. City had bought two centre backs, Ruben Dias and Nathan Ake.
