Vive_La_Villa Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I’d say he’s become our best defender again and showing what a top player he is. To think not long ago fans were seeing he needs to be replaced! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To think not long ago fans were seeing he needs to be replaced! Yeh, he's ace. He embodies the culture of the club with his attitude, hard work and leadership. Yes, he'll make a few mistakes that will cost us goals but so does Maguire and he's lauded as Englands best centre half... He's one of the first names on the teamsheet and will be next season too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 So pleased he delivered this performance, especially given the context of how he got played in the opposite fixture. Assuming Bamford tried his usual filthy antics, it was great to see Mings didn't react to it or give him opportunity to display them. Dirty Leeds almost caught out Ollie, but thankfully calm Ollie got back to his usual professional game and normal service resumed. Was getting worried earlier this season, but Mings has definitely stepped up in recent games (not so much against Leicester, but they were a quality team) and looks to have sorted his head out. Part of our best defence in years, possibly decades, and if he can keep his big mistake rate below the once per game it was getting closer to, I'll be a happy man.

Farlz Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Rock solid again. Hopefully that injury towards the end isn't a bad one, we can't afford him to drop out of this defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmirch Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Should be Captain. I love Grealish but I reckon he’d probably agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing about this was Neto kicked the ball away everytime he went near Mings after that. It's like he thought Eff this. On a side note I'd like to see him play his passes into midfield again. Seems to be playing the long ball more than usual for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Mings has been solid the last few games. Jamie Redknapp thinks he should be first-choice for England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow1988 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 He was brilliant again last night, but have we lost something since he's become a bit more conservative on the ball? We're finding it very difficult to play through teams and we seemed to do that better in the early half of the season with Mings playing ball a bit more. I know it's a balancing act - playing out from the back/not presenting the opposition with opporutinities - but it just seems that way to me. It might be of course that teams have figured us out and this is limiting his passing options and therefore he is having to go long. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with Sanson coming in especially on his side he might start pinging it into him more. Sanson showed for the ball a lot yesterday. Sanson actually got vexed a couple of times when it was sent over his head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
