Yep - Mings is so completely programmed to be the big alpha that he cannot deal with the idea of losing a contest one-on-one with another man - it's his strength and weakness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an arrogance that he has on the pitch but seemingly not off it, it really doesn’t help his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's the same on and off the pitch - it's what seems to drive him, "I will be a successful footballer, I will be a successful business owner, I will be a role model, I will be well read, I will have the abs, I will speak with authority, I will represent, I will have portray humility" it's all wrapped up in this thing of his own perfection. It makes him a better football player and a very successful human being, but if you stick a pin in it he struggles to deal with it - he wants to dominate and if someone wins one against him it unbalances him. The boy is a winner. I'd love to see him lose a game of monopoly, I bet he's a nightmare. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/tyrone-mings-how-our-struggles-lead-to-our-successes/id1500444735?i=1000503642951 Quote Tyrone Mings: How our struggles lead to our successes The High Performance Podcast Tyrone Mings is a defender for Aston Villa and England, with a real life story of rags to riches in English football. Tyrone joined Southampton as a kid but suffered rejection when he was released by Saints in 2009 for being 'too small'. He dropped down to Non-League, playing for Yate Town and Chippenham Town while working as a mortgage advisor. He seriously considered packing football in all together but got his break when Ipswich signed him up for a fee of £10,000 before sealing an £8 million move to Bournemouth and realising his dream of becoming a Premier League player. A serious knee injury restricted his early appearances before a loan switch to Aston Villa in 2019 saw him help the Midlands club to promotion from the Championship. Tyrone sealed a permanent move to Villa for £26.5 million and was called up to Gareth Southgate's England squad in 2019. Not sure if this has already been shared. Worthwhile listen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdman Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Think we'll see a reaction from Mings tonight. He won't be happy about the silly red card and will want to make amends. Let's hope he's on it tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 This is our best back 4 for me and if Mings is fit he should always play. He’s a leader. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
