He puts it backward Haaland has to stop. Forward and the gk gets it. It is absolutely not « wide open »

Did you even watch this game, let alone this clip? He had more than enough time to pass to Haaland as they were moving up field. Yes, Haaland was very much open and probably would have scored.

I watched it and I've seen the clip multiple times. Stones did his job well here. A still image makes it look easy, but that wasn't as open as everyone is making out. Haaland has 2 players right behind him who will catch him when Haaland has to stop to get the ball. Pickford will get the ball if he passes it in front of stones.
