Feel for Martinez, he seems like a nice guy but his level was Wigan. It's like he landed the dream big club job at Everton job and is desperately clinging on for dear life knowing once he's sacked the next place is the job centre.
I cringe when he makes OTT statements about the ability of his players eg Ross Barkley is better than Xavi, Messi isnt fit to wipe Lukaku's boots, Leighton Banes is the envy of Real Madrid etc.

Stones has been in and out with little niggling injury's all season and hasn't been able to get the continuity in his game, and he makes a few mistakes, but which young player doesn't, it's about him learning from mistakes and he's still shown bits of quality in there, so with a better run in the team, the consistent form will come.
He's still far too good and talented to leave out the Euro squad, and is sure to be going this summer.
