VillanousOne Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) 4 minutes ago, villa4europe said: I thought he was MOTM with the slim pickings, saved a goal, didn't do anything wrong, was solid all night vs a very physical Antonio and a lot of running at him didn't do anything wrong? He was typical Mings, out of position too far up the pitch and leaving the gap for Antonio to score then heroically clearing off the line a few minutes later. He makes several mistakes every match we only moan about the times when those mistakes get punished, tonight for instance.

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Great goal line clearance but he has regressed in possession. Every time he is on the ball I'm expecting a bad touch or an aimless hoof or both. Hopefully he regains his confidence soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_1989 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Pretty sure he cost us the second goal, a lazy flick forward then ball watches and fails to push up onto Antonio, the space between him and Antonio was massive he had all the time to control the ball and lay into JL. A really lazy ball forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've spent months moaning that he is too casual and tries to be too clever in possession!! Now he's hoofing it and he's shit at that too Madness 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be an issue that midfielders aren't making themselves available for the simple pass either, i'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season it was the midfield IMO This season it could be a mixture of the midfield and confidence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A really lazy ball forward. First Goal was targett failing to make a good pass to Watkins. Mings tried to cover and failed to win the ball that isn't a mistake. And it would have mattered had barkley sprinted back because he would have had plenty of time to mark lingard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is a result of having a bad injury but he does it frequently. When he first joined I used to get really concerned when I’d see him down, these days I take no notice.

Popular Post ozvillafan Posted February 4, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2021 I'm surprised he's getting a bit of a slating, to be honest. The only Villa player on the pitch that came close to matching him last night was Watkins - but even his sloppy possession lead directly to 2 of their goals. Mings was excellent throughout and my MOTM 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Mings getting criticised for making a goal line clearance that came from a pass and shot that caught both Konsa and Martinez out is so VT that it's borderline parody. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
