skarroki Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 That whole England squad looks very good, great time for the national team. If Grealish can force his way into that group too it'll be brilliant. Mings call up fully deserved, really hope he seizes the opportunity not just if he gets to play but also in training and around the players, needs to prove he's a good lad to have in the squad.

smg Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 It’s a good job Southgate wasn’t there today. Mings was poor with his distribution throughout and some of his first half clearances were comical. I know everyone has off days but the focus was definitely missing today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Wasn't he massively limping at the end? Can see him being pulled out of squad. Seen a few mention he's taking painkillers to get through games atm, not sure if it's true but a concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Mings is a good addition to the squad for his physique and toughness on set-pieces, but the lack of quality was very evident for their goal today. Very clumsy and terrible defending to be honest. That goal was coming one way or another with us being down to ten, but still... feels crap when that kind of defending settles everything.

I’d be surprised if he goes for the internationals - looked to be injured late on and would expect him to be pulled out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Yeah poor defending. No way Ayew should've gone through him and also Grealish who was too weak. Good to see you back posting @Papillon, not a fan of our championship wilderness years?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted September 1, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2019 Hmm.... He covered and positioned himself well for the Ayew goal. Look closely and you will see how lucky Ayew was to have the ball bounce off Jack then himself in a favourable area. He was going nowhere without that rebound. And that is not the first rebound that has worked against us. In fact, we've had one in 3 of our 4 games this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Worst performance in a Villa shirt, never seen him look so shaky, looked slow, struggled with Ayew throughout as well, bad day at the office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zab6359 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Selfish but I hope he just warms the bench tbh, rather not risk his fitness for the sake of the national team. Same with Heaton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I hope he plays, put's in some monstrous challenges, sets up with the winner with a classic Tyrone Ping then sails back to Villa Park above the heads of a sea of opposition fans who have been slating him for the last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Good to see him being part of the squad. What I want to know is: what is in the little plastic packet on top of the shorts? Commemorative tie pin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was the Grealish thread we’d be worried he’d moved on to class A’s. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratvillan Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Shows what an over rated manager southgate is. Just seems on a power trip. Not so much mings but how can mount start ahead of maddison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) I am delighted he didn't play. He got a nice day out and some souvenirs We got an England CB who isnt injured. Win win.

Me too, I've no interest in seeing Villa players called up to play in games I'll never watch and which they may get injured in. I'm happy with them playing so well for us that they, as the press hacks would say, "are knocking on the door of an international call up" and "making themselves hard to ignore" and then "just missing out on a callup" or "unlucky to not get minutes". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
