The captaincy was taken away from him for no reason other than SG wanting a different choice for choice sake.

So much easier to think Mings has been trying to sabotage the manager than just accepting the far simpler explanation, which is that he's just horrifically error-prone and not great. But what's new eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Credit where it's due, Ty much improved today. Didn't have the busiest game of his career but looked fairly composed and commanding when called upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Bear Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I didnt realise Kristoffer Ajer was such a huge Tyrone Mings fan, trying to get his shirt mid match. Hopefully Mings signed it and gave it to him in the tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 In fairness... this should make some people feel a bit silly about the conspiracies. He might have been a " shite " Manager for us, but as Bardell motioned a few weeks ago, the players actually never disliked him.: https://www.instagram.com/p/CkF_4LNrLEu/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Kill them with kindness. Gerrard is a Representative for Wellingborough and a bluffer and I'm sure the players saw right through him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) getting a lot of heat online from the Gerrardbots or deluded English football fan base. He is so shit apparently but has all the power to dominate the dressing room maybe like a modern day Charles Manson Edited October 24, 2022 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that the “ odd clanger” results in a goal. The odd clanger from say midfield or attack is not destined to end up in the back of the net. I actually think that overall Mings has done well this season - but I do feel he will always have a mistake in him. This aside he has every attribute to be an international defender imo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This aside he has every attribute to be an international defender imo Constant mistakes in midfield put extra pressure on the defence which does have an negative impact. Nothing to do with unforced errors of course but it dents confidence and results in nervousness. If the whole team is playing well Mings is less likely to drop clangers I feel. Still, I feel he is particulatry targeted unfairly and seems to be the go to punch bag on behalf of the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
