Everton defender Sylvain Distin says fans shouldn't ask too much too soon from John Stones.
Stones is in England's squad for the games against Norway and Euro qualifying opponents Switzerland.
Distin cautioned: "I hope people give him a bit of time.
"In this country, we love to build up players very quickly and take them down very quickly as well.
"John has all the attributes to be an everything player. He can be right up there with the best on the world stage.
"But he's young and he's still learning. He needs that time to develop if we want to see him reach his best."
