Popular Post Lord Willard Posted June 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2021 He was the best defender yesterday. Keep playing like that and Maguire won't get in the team.... Jokes, as soon as he is fit he'll be in the side replacing the best defender for England so far. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, he’s doing a great job, he got us to the semi finals of the 2018 World Cup, let’s see if he can do something similar in this tournament, he’s made a great start I agree. Competent is very apt. He couldn't really go wrong with the front 3 or 4, with the talent at his disposal. Croatia have a good midfield, but the central 3 are all very similar, their widemen aren't particularly skillful or creative. They're a team that on paper England should beat. We should've beaten them at the world Cup too imo. Trippier at left back still dumb as far as I'm concerned. Mings at left cb we right choice. On balance considering Jack needs his injury to be managed playing Mount and Foden ahead of him made sense. Phillips was a good selection. For me where he shows his qualities as a manager is in his communication with his players, and the atmosphere he seems to be nurturing. Tactically I think he's average, and rather conservative. Was a good player for us. left when I became clear Doug never had the ambition to put Villa where they belong. I can't blame him for this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Please tell me "cheese pilot" is new to the filter Sterling over the top... A man who can't win an aerial battle or have a great first touch and when he did get in behind over the top wanted to cut inside on to his right foot because he's playing inverted, not once did he get to the byline and cross left footed or from memory even create a chance from that position, the big chance he crated was coming infield from the throw and even that you could analyse super critically and say it was a poor pass behind foden resulting in him cutting inside on his left rather than in front of him resulting in a first time shot on his favoured right foot (but that is super critical) Sterling did ok, got the goal but let's not pretend that it's something that will win us the tournament because it won't, not even close, if we take sterling to the bank we're going to be very disappointed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he did well but it is England's weakest position." I hope he keeps proving these idiots wrong. Is it 5 straight clean sheets hes had for England now? Someone should remind these pundits that Mings plays in a back four every week for Villa. Of course he can cope in an effin back four!?

KentVillan Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I’m actually quite bemused by the number of football fans who seem convinced Tyrone Mings is pants at football, without much in the way of actual evidence. I think it’s because he’s been involved in a handful of high profile incidents - the Zlatan stamp, the “mistake” against Man City... and of course his stance on taking the knee (etc). I’d be amazed if many of his critics have actually watched him play 90 mins for Villa. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a world class defender, he just happens to be Manchester United captain. Stones has been brilliant this season, but he still gifted Villa a goal this season and last. Defenders make mistakes, it's how they get back up that defines them, Tyrone gets up off the mat and performs straight off, no hiding. Plays for Man United ergo must be nigh on perfect.

Sadly I think some people and fans are inexplicably still quite bitter about Mings speaking out on race and social media bullying issues so he'll be criticised no matter what. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sidcow Posted June 14, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) I noticed him stepping in when one of the Croatian players tried a bit of aggro. It must be like a Police Academy Hightower moment when you're trying to pick a fight with Stones or someone and suddenly Mings is in front of you. "What me wanting a fight? No mate I was just brushing some dirt off his shirt, lovely kit that" Edited June 14, 2021 by sidcow 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, the few times they do watch him play they use a mistake or 2 he makes during a match as confirmation bias that he is indeed shit. We've been watching him for 3 years now and he was pretty much the catalyst to our meteoric rise and is still a vital part of our progression. He must have out of this world leadership qualities then if he's such a shit footballer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings is the one Villa defender that I have most fear of a mistake from. However, against Croatia, he was the best defender on the pitch and only behind Phillips as best English player, in my opinion. Sterling did nothing apart from his goal and even then he somehow managed to hit the keeper who, fortunately for us, didn't save it. Sterling ran around and tried to do stuff but all he did was run into people or lose the ball. Foden was the main outlet at the start but they stopped giving him the ball, for some strange reason. Southgate clearly has his favourites and I have no doubt that he would drop Mings for Mcguire is he gets to full fitness. But, if Mings plays like he did against Croatia he should definitely keep the shirt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 We have the pleasure of supporting Mings week to week. We get to see that he tends to make mistakes in consecutive games. We also get to see that he will then have 3 or 4 blinders in a row after that. So there is nothing to worry about now in the next 2 group games.

Popular Post Wainy316 Posted June 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2021 When Mings comes out of the this tournament a national hero then I hope he gives some credit to El Ghazi for injuring Maguire for him. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted June 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 15, 2021 You watch Maguire replace Mings and make a stupid error. All will be forgiven because he's not played much football lately / not fully fit yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
