JOHN STONES has earned comparisons with former Manchester City and England star James Milner – but not in a good way.

Liverpool star Milner’s teetotal lifestyle and deadpan delivery have fuelled the brilliant Twitter parody account @BoringMilner.

The spoof social media account has 586,000 followers – including dozens of Premier League footballers - thanks to the dreary delivery of mundane observations.

And cruel Twitter users have compared Stones’ appearance in the Sky Sports Super Sunday studio to Milner’s less-than-exciting style.

Ahead of the home clash with West Ham, that Stones missed through injury, he joined Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher in front of the cameras but did not impress harsh viewers.

Watch out lad @BoringMilner John Stones is giving you a run for your money! You may not be the most boring player in the Premier League anymore

I counted 78 times John Stones said "erm" seriously. The presenter said "I am sorry John we have run out of time" the look he just gave him back was as if to say, I have a load more "erms" what do you mean we are out of time?
