andym Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 You see headers or clearances like that every week across the league from defenders We had midfielders back in good position to pick up the 2nd ball, however Saka reacted quicker and the finish was brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings had been good this season and is our best....but you don't. You never see defenders head the ball blind into your own penalty area centrally. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, it was a poor header straight into the danger area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Don't want it to get lost with the talk of the header... I know it was offside but the defending on the line was incredible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston_Villan4 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Outside of the header he was fantastic. Made some great passes and key blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, mings was Sh1t because Konsa was sh1t. Neither the two are good players. You cant have a CB who is brilliant one min then has a massive brain fart the next. Will be sold if Emery wants to push on for Europe Edited February 18, 2023 by HeyAnty 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the LB who is weak at defending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoMkali Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Definitely should have dealt with the cross better. But made a number of last ditch clearances and blocks today. Unfortunately Kamara was wrong sided by Saka and then Saka scored an absolute worldie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know you’ll go up in flames if you criticise Mings here. It’s a stupid, poorly directed header, end of. It’s amazing - Eddie Howe was able to identify pretty quickly that mings wouldn’t be good enough to play CB. We revere him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many caps does Ty have for England again? He’s an international level defender and rightly so. Does he make mistakes? Sure? But he also made a lot of big tackles and clearances.

Ahh the tired old “you can’t criticize Mings” nonsense. Usually from posters that have never thought he was good enough so I’m sure there’s no bias in the commentary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings had been good this season and is our best....but you don't. You never see defenders head the ball blind into your own penalty area centrally. Having now seen a reverse angle, the header went more central than i'd first thought. That said, mistimed or blind clearances in a players own box do happen; a Palace player did one today that led to a Brentford chance. Earlier in the season Arsenal were playing Forest, and Gabriel on his own byline played a blind pass direct to a Forest player on the penalty spot. Luckily for him it was blazed over. Midweek Gabriel was passing the ball straight to Halaand leading to a goal against, he's made other errors leading to goal this season as well. This is the starting CB for the top team in the league. I think my overarching point is that we focus on our own players mistakes or bad defending and think its unique to them and us as a team; its not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you’re to slow to get that. firstly, he had 18 months left, so not really out of contract. secondly, we wouldn't tie a player on to an increased salary and 3.5 more years of loyalty bonus' we'd then have to pay off when we decide to sell in the summer clubs simply don't give new contracts to players they're planning on selling. maybe you're slow to get that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 You can make as many excuses as you want, bt 1 nil up against title contenders , you don't give a goal away like that. He gave 2 away against Leicester as well. Carlos should be an improvement, but I don't trust Mings tbh I'd keep a watch on that lad Bournemouth have just bought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamara culpable for the first and third, Digne the second and Moreno the 4th. At a real push you might push some blame onto Mings for the third. I haven't watched today's game back but seeing the Arsenal first today from the Holte I felt he messed up and any criticism for that would be justified.
