As the only left footed centre back it’s criminal that Southgate doesn’t start him. He adds so much balance to the team. I don’t. We have Leicester 8 days from today and the last thing we need is one of either Mings or Grealish picking up an injury in what are glorified international friendlies. Really hope both of them just play a few minutes here and there in the next two games if they must feature. Come on Southgate, where’s your top 6 club bias! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even convinced, that he will play Jack. You can't really argue with him picking Gomez though, he did so well on Sunday and he plays for a top five club after all. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted October 9, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) For the first time in years we have a wealth of English talent in our first XI. Grealish, Watkins, Barkley, Cash, Mings and Konsa are all easily of international standard, but there is no way they will all get in. It was the same in 81/82 with Swain, Morley, Cowans, Shaw, Mortimer, etc. Edited October 9, 2020 by mjmooney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think he’s better than Pickford and Pope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 We might be able to overtake Spurs again for most England internationals if we keep this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 With Mings now playing against Denmark, I’m happy for the score to finish 1-0. Unless of course, Grealish is brought on, in which I’m happy for England to equalise with a Grealish goal/assist. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompedyret Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Those who saw the match, how did Mings do? I register he came on only after Denmarks goal, so at lewast he can claim a clean sheet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 he did alright, made some good tackles, a few sticky moments that he got a bit lucky with, but generally he played well. my only criticism is too often he doesn't take enough responsibility with the ball, always passing it back to the keeper or looking for others, when he has confidence with us he is very good and moving the ball forward and picking out some long passes, I think he still looks very green and nervous in the England shirt, but hopefully he will get more chances and settle.

ciggiesnbeer Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 He didnt get injured during Southgates idiocy thats the only important thing. Hopefully a nice rest now before the league game which actually matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf he was being asked to play the ball to Phillips and rice. And he presumably isn't allowed to hoof it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Indigo Posted October 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2020 Despite sentiments to the contrary having been said before, this guy is actually getting underrated now if anything. Another immense performance tonight, so much to be said for the qualities he brings to the defence. The sexy bastard. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Quality defender. A few loose passes forwards, but that’s to be expected when it’s not all sideways sideways. £26m is a fricking bargain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I love this man! Oh captain, my captain. He has a few dodgy moments, sure, but nothing he isn't capable of rectifying immediately. Also, this is bound to happen as he looks for those sharpshooter passes that cuts midfielders to pieces and is usually successful in setting up situations that lead to goals for us. it's so damn nice to have a defender with quality all around. I love that he has swagger about him, because it surely rubs off in a positive way on all our players. mind in the right place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted October 19, 2020 Moderator Share Posted October 19, 2020 Oh how they laughed when we paid £20m rising to £26m.... nobody is laughing any more are they, what a bargain. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to say this. They thought they were taking us to the cleaners. By the end of this season he's probably worth double that, and with him in their squad Bournemouth would definitely have got the extra point they would have needed to stay up and send us down. It's like we're trolling them. Edited October 19, 2020 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
