The Fun Factory Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I know it is a totally different position but Grealish is clearly a far better player than Mings. Baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I’m pleased for Mings but no Jack takes the shine off it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I like Mings but he's only really in the squad because he's left footed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Really not sure he earned this call-up but hey ho, good for him. If the idea is to play him at left back, that’s completely mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) well done Tyrone. those saying he doesnt deserve it, tbh if you look at our CB options, they dont fill you with excitement: Keane - okey dokey Maguire - Smooth Criminal Gomez - decent Stones - Calamity Stones Mings is proabably decent on balance, compared to the above (especially for the left side) Edited August 25, 2020 by MaVilla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted tho, would prefer to see him as a CB. If covering LB gives him more chances to play, would be cool with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Playing left back might benefit his game a little. By how much is anyone's guess. Although with the criminal being pulled out of the squad I'd say Mings has to start in the centre? Edited August 25, 2020 by Sulberto21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's in the England squad because of his form at cb, why wouldn't you just call a lb into the squad? Mings is not the best English lb we have. Also not good for us. I'm sure he said he switched to cb because his body couldn't take the running involved at lb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I'd be terrified of him picking up an injury if played at LB. He is too big to be playing there these days. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 He'll likely be playing LB since the madman decided not to call up any LB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not mistaken Gomez also plays LB so now that I think of it, that's probably the likelier scenario. Mings should be starting at CB, especially now that Maguire is not in the team.

If the idea is to play him at left back, that’s completely mad. He played far better after the restart. One of the reasons why we stopped shipping so many goals and ultimately stayed up. Ironically Jack didn't play so well after the restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
