Going by the amount of penalties given for dubious handballs this season, this is actually pretty clever play. John Terry would give away a hell of a ot of penalties these days with his fling the body at the strike technique resulting in a block by the arm (happened fairly often) if he was playing these days. More a reflection on the game and the way it has gone recently but the hands behind the back I find makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the not jumping at free kicks I think this is a theory that the coaches have decided upon. I'm pretty sure I've seen Konsa and Engels do it too, I guess standing back should give you a bit more time to judge where the shot is going and in theory give you more time to get in the way. Whether it actually works or not I'm not sure, I notice the times it doesn't work more than the times it does. It's one of the things that makes Mings look a bit casual or 'think he's better than he actually is'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understandable maybe considering his inury record, but I can think of a few instances where he's tried to get out of the way of a shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the impression, i have got too......i think he is more comfortable with the finer arts of the game.....but his play is erratic and suseptible to brain farts. He has some good games and his presence is notable, but he is not always dominant, which sounds contradictory.....I was crying out for unit of. Centre back and when he first arrived, i was very pleased, but he seems to have lost his edge....whether that incident of him standing on the players face, has affected him, i don't know......however, i do think the centre backs are too exposed at times.

villalad21 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) I am officially done with Mings. Konsa is great and reliable need to find someone of the same ilk next to him. Edited November 30, 2020 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted November 30, 2020 Moderator Share Posted November 30, 2020 I’m really getting tired of Mings getting caught needlessly show boating or pointing as we conceed goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Someone needs to be brutally honest with him at the club and say he isn’t as half good as he thinks he is. Stick to what you are which is a defender and don’t over complicate and cause problems. Does this every game so so frustrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam-AVFC Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Really wish he'd stop dicking about with the ball for so long when there's a 99% chance he passes to Konsa or punts it anyway. Edited November 30, 2020 by Sam-AVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Genie Posted November 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2020 He’s frustrating to watch. When he makes a tackle or concedes a corners he seems to realise the cameras will be on him so does a smouldering gum chew pose, or a casual badass strut away. How about organising the defence, telling people to stay sharp, pick up players to mark etc? I’m almost waiting for him to pull some shades out of his sock. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, if Terry can't get this out of his game, I think all hope is lost. That ugly bastard has never looked cool in his life and he's won it all. This chump has a season in the PL and thinks his balls are the size of the stadium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You posted about 10 times today about his appearance on the field. At least be objective with your criticism. Call out his lackadaisical dribbling or his casual drifting back into defense. Hell, get annoyed that deflections off him often seem to head towards the goal instead of away from it. Not this petulant nonsense of "he looks too cool" on the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
