Popular Post MWARLEY2 Posted July 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2023 He is Mr Villa along with McGinn. Has grown along with the club these last 5 years. Intelligent off the pitch. A beast with brains on it. His journey has mirrored ours. Joined as an inexperienced cb with huge potential and has faced up to many challenges both good and bad. He loves this club and it will be a sad day when he leaves. I think he has many more years in him wirh some luck though. He could play another 5 years at the top as he is so athletic and doesnt have the miles on the clock that similar aged players do. 18 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrone's early public school education at Millfield seems to come through here, too. Isn't there a bit of poshness in that accent? Am I mishearing this with my American ears? Is that a stupid question? Edited July 25, 2023 by Marka Ragnos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a stupid question? Posh in comparison to ya average Brummie accent! Or at least much more neutral to your American ears I guess. He’s well spoken though, as in, good diction, speaks clearly. Not essentially posh though. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree, we looked so much mroe fluid with him on the pitch. His level of confidence is clearly higher than our other CBs and his willingness to accept the ball under pressure makes a huge huge difference to our attack. It's imo why we struggled so much in the first half with torres because he wasn't confident in receiving the ball so we never went left despite our attack having a very heavy left leaning bias. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Watching the game this morning I saw a clear difference between Mings and Pau.. Once Pau finds his feet Mings will struggle to dislodge him.. Pau was aggressive, very good with the ball, passing is crisp and sharp, strong in the air.. Maybe be Mings can learn playing that RCB role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember his first few games for us in the Champ and then leading on to the ten game unbeaten run… I thought he looked good then, and he’s just got better since imo, how was he not even getting in their team? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you have to just get a solid run of games and the trust of a manager. The one thing Dean and Unai have in spades is their ability to instill confidence in their players. Such a critical managerial skill. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chine Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 This guy is our rock, I like watching these friendly games with passive crowds as his lion like leadership / instructions can be heard clearly . He offers so much to the team , the armband not being on him has freed him up to show more of his natural skills , go Ty ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post villaslash Posted July 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2023 After the game today I watched him methodically work his way along the stands signing every autograph after playing the full 90 in some serious heat. Nothing but big smiles for the fans. Such a class act! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
