Paul Merson said John Stones needs to work on his positional play

Paul Merson had his say on Everton defender John Stones during Soccer Saturday, and called his positional play "atrocious".

The pundit didn't hold back when discussing the 21-year-old, who is expected to be included in the England squad for the upcoming European Championships. 

Merson criticised Stones' positioning in particular, and referenced the film Men In Black.

"His positional play is boarding on atrocious at the moment," Merson said.

"If he's coming out with the ball and losing it every now and again, then fair enough, because he will if he's being asked to come out and do that - but your positional play has got to be better."
