John Stones is currently considered as one of the finest center backs in England and rightly so. The young English defender who is only 21 is very good with the ball at his feet and is also quite quick.
He was very much in demand in the summer with the defender highly rated by Premier League champions Chelsea.
However, the former Barnsley defender finally chose to stay with Everton with respect to his development. However, the English center back has come under pressure after his defensive performance in the recent loss against Swansea.
Everton manager has quickly jumped to the defence of his highly rated center-back stating that Stones is still very much young and he needs to be judged after a minimum of hundred games.
Martinez himself has been criticized for failing to organize a leaky Everton defence, which has certainly not helped Stones in his so called development. The absence of Jagielka due to injuries has also played a key factor in the recent defensive woes of the team from Merseyside.
Stones, on the other hand, would feel that the perfect opportunity to respond to his critics would be to put in an impressive performance against City in the league cup semifinal.
Martinez would certainly look to restore the experienced Jagielka, along Stones, after resting him in the game against Swansea.
