He's 10 yards deeper than the rest of the defence. Had he been in line Diaz would have been offside.
You call it closing down looks like he was standing off to me. Nowhere near close enough to Diaz.
I agree. I'd take finishing 10th if we were putting in consistent displays. Inconsistency that we are seeing suggests there's a big disconnect between the players and coaches
On one hand, I agree with SG: Mings is not a good captain, and should never have been given it.
However, SGs comments about players are starting to feel Roy Keane-esque : and we all remember how well that worked out for him...
One of the moments that really irked me was Remero shoulder charging Digne in the back. Earlier in the game McGinn was penalized for a similar but much less aggressive version of the same challenge.
Had the ref applied even decision making, Romero should have been sent off, as he was already booked and that challenge was overly aggressive and unnecessary as the ball was out.
Resulted in Digne dislocating his shoulder and having to go off
Most online sources actually have Mings as our worst defender btw.
Not saying they are right, I also think Konsa was our worst defender, but it seems non-villa fans disagree
