I agree.
But to say he's not a good defender because his defending isn't great doesn't bode well with me
I've explained it but I will spell it out.
Defenders nowadays need to do more than just defend. They need to be ball players and have better technique than ever before.
You can be a defender that is rated 6/10 at defending but 8/10 technique, 9/10 speed and 9/10 when it comes to passing and you will be valued rather highly.
Overall you may not be a T.Silva or a Bonucci when tackling, but being fantastic in other aspects make's you a sought after defender. Stones is the prime example of that.
