The former Blues star holds the England international in high regard and believes Pep Guardiola shares that opinion at the Etihad Stadium
John Stones remains a “quality” performer and the Manchester City defender is merely enduring a “bad patch”, says Nedum Onuoha.
The England international has been thrust back under the microscope after seeing another mistake hinder City’s cause in a Carabao Cup final clash with Aston Villa.
Pep Guardiola’s side emerged 2-1 victors on the day, but their afternoon would have been considerably more comfortable had Stones not suffered the most untimely of slips.
