Jamie O’Hara is amazed by John Stones’ performance in his hybrid role for Manchester City. Despite hopes that Stones would be benched ahead of Luton Town’s match against City, the defender started in the centre of defence alongside Manuel Akanji. As Stones dominated the game, earning comparisons to Javier Mascherano for his versatility, O’Hara expressed shock at his performance.
“We’ve got to have a discussion about John Stones. In my opinion, John Stones is one of the best centre-halves in the world. He’s playing basically centre-midfield for Manchester City,” O’Hara said on talkSPORT. He praised Stones for his ability to play multiple positions on the pitch seamlessly.
O’Hara also suggested that Stones should play as a midfielder for England, highlighting his exceptional skills. As City prepares to face Manchester United, Stones could once again prove to be a challenging opponent for the visitors. In their previous encounter, Stones displayed unmatched skills that left his opponents struggling to contain him. Now, City’s upcoming match against United could be influenced by Stones’ performance.
Overall, O’Hara and other football analysts are in awe of Stones’ capabilities and believe that he is excelling in his hybrid role for City. As the defender continues to impress with his performance, he could be a key player in City’s quest for victory against their rivals. Stones’ unique playing style and versatility have made him a standout player in the Premier League, leaving fans and pundits astounded by his talent.
