I still remember where among large swathes of the Villa fan base it was "he thinks he's better than he is" and was a liability apparently. No doubt he's reached a new level under Emery - few haven't - but I don't think there's been a moment since he signed where he wasn't one of the key players in the squad. No better example of this than the times he hasn't played. Love the guy. Great player, seems a great person and has had such a story with Villa so far. Proud to have him. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played 57 times for Ipswich, As many times for Bournemouth as England - 17, 10 times for Chippenham in the Southern League and after yesterday I think that's 155 games for us including the 15 on loan in 2019. fwiw - 1 goal for Ipswich, 8 goals for us and 2 for England *according to wikipedia edit - seems i was quoting league appearances there with cup and play-off games it's Villa - 165 / Bournemouth - 23 / Ipswich - 63 / Chippenham - 13 Edited May 29, 2023 by VILLAMARV cup games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinebro Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Tyrone always seemed to have a mistake in him under Gerrard and Smith. That seem to have completely gone under Unai. Absolute rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted May 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2023 Luiz is great, but Tyrone is my POTS. Absolute monster. And all this after being stripped captaincy and benched by Gerrard. He has grown so much this season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have said for a while that I think part of Tyrone's "problem" was that he got distracted worrying about what everyone else is doing and that he'd be better as the junior partner in a CB pairing - which is why I was excited about Carlos arriving. But Emery and his team do seem to have got the whole defence better drilled so that they are all working together and Tyrone is doing less "directing" and can focus more on his own game. With better options available for the quick pass into the CMs too - he's not having to search out a pass all the time too. He's been brilliant in recent matches - you can see why the Liverpool players were trying to make such a big deal out of the yellow / red card issue as they couldn't get a halfpenny off him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Ty actually alluded to this when talking about what he and Emery discussed when Unai first arrived! Agree with the point about CMs too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 The thing that really stood out for me this season about Tyrone's game is his notably improved footwork and mobility. His height and long legs were an occasional hindrance to his mobility in past seasons, but he's much more nimble now and his positioning, ball carrying and passing have all improved, and he's much more assured and confident now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Ashley Young was our club captain last season and is leaving us with our very best wishes for his future and our thanks for being such a great influence on all around him. Tyrone Mings should now be given the title of Club Captain (imo) as he is an inspirational figure in and around Villa Park. John McGinn has earned the right to be the Captain on the pitch for his leadership by example, but I would love to see Ty get the recognition he deserves for the brilliant personal qualities that he displays on a regular basis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could agree more. What I would add is that I travel a lot with work and lots of fans I’ve met don’t just not rate him, but seem to really dislike him. I’ve asked why because like you I think he’s a really good man, but I never seem to get response. I genuinely do think there’s elements of jealousy and elements of racism. I remember people used to joke about David Beckham and say things like ‘glad he’s thick as pig shit because he was at the front of the queue for everything else’ Tyrone is a good looking, intelligent, confident young man that isn’t scared to air his views, especially around the BLM stuff and I think some knuckle heads simply don’t like it. There’s definitely a racist element to it imo. Anyway….top bloke, I hope he’s made club captain next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizzarely I think that not being captain has helped him - it has been much easier to follow Emery's instructions of concentrate on your own game without the distraction of having any type of captaincy role. By his nature alone he will be inspirational to other players, staff and fans and do all the kind of stuff that we all enjoy on and off the pitch.

There’s definitely a racist element to it imo. Anyway….top bloke, I hope he’s made club captain next season. I absolutely think there's a large element of racism. Tyrone, because he's a prominent, confident and eloquent black man who speaks out on social justice causes, will unfortunately have people who hate him because he says things they don't want to hear. With sportspeople it's even worse because there is another element of people who will slate him because he's "just a dumb footballer and shouldn't have opinions", and in addition you have people who hate him because he's an excellent player who plays for an opposition club. This happens everywhere there are eloquent, activist black sportspeople. Look at Kaepernick. Look at Lewis Hamilton. Look at LeBron. Look at Simone Biles. For the Australians on the forum, an very prominent case over here was Adam Goodes, a legendary Indigenous Aussie Rules player who toward the end of his career took a bit of a stand against the racism he faced and started to get booed by sections of the crowd at every game, by people who would say they weren't doing it for racist reasons, but didn't do it for the first 15 years of his career until he spoke out. Tyrone has become my favourite Villa player since I started following in the late 90s. His performances are a big part of that, but i'm also so proud to have someone like Tyrone represent us. Just everything you want in a Villa player as a player and person. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
