It's a shitty attitude and they would never make negative mention about slab head Maguire or Stones because they play for Manchester clubs I hoped they noticed stones nearly costing England thrice when he watched dykes and Adams run off him and Mings bailed him out on each occasion. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it sounded like they were creating a told you so narrative in advance of the game to potentially fall back on. I look forward to the dissection of the Scotland game podcast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done nothing wrong so far but hes come up against two attacks that cant score goals. Hes faced far better opposition in the Premier League so its drop in standard of opposition for him so far. Also the fact that Southgate has set up in both games so defensive with two holding midfield players has made his job easier. I think you're missing the point that in those circumstances he's looked better than the guy next to him, yet Mings is the one who is being talked about being dropped. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted June 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 19, 2021 Stones is by far the most howler prone of the CBs in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 3 hours ago, Keyblade said: The worst part of it is this notion that Ty is somehow bad with the ball at his feet. It's a toss up between him and Stones really, but Ty has something in his locker that none of them have. Those fizzed in, 90 mph passes along the floor to the full backs/wingers. Those break through the lines faster than any of Maguire's ambling runs forward with the ball. He's also the only one who can beat a man and run up the line and put a cross in. Which is a key part of villas attack at least once a game one of konsa or mings will beat their man and carry it to the half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he tried that Southgate would substitute him off immediately and never select him again. His England career would be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 He's been superb so far, yet you know he will be replaced by Captain Boring next match. He absolutely **** loves Maguire and Stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Mings has been English MOTM in both games so far. But the minute Maguire is fit waistcoat will drop him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt, GS will drop Mings to fit Maguire in, despite the fact he and Stones are the only solid pairing on the pitch and we’re not conceding. Loving Mings’ attitude and application so far. He’s been quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southgate will be an absolute plank if he drops him. Mings has had two really good games and will now be full of confidence. Hopefully he will keep his place!

No chance, there's no way Southgate would drop a player who when he plays, is England's MOTM in each game, for someone else who has either been off form or who isn't fit.

Popular Post mikeyp102 Posted June 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2021 Gary Neville, just before the Germany game was talking about England. He said we have to play 2 holding midfielders as the defence isn’t good enough and they need protecting. What a load of tosh, did he not watch yesterday, the midfield didn’t protect at all, it was Mings clearing everything and tidying up. He was also the most vocal on the pitch directing everyone into position. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dont_do_it_doug.

But Pickford, Mings and Stones all look in good form. Definitely an argument for dropping one of Rice or Phillips (I don't really mind which one) and then that gives you scope to play Mount + Foden/Grealish/Sancho in front of the DM. Be amazed if Southgate does this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite incredible we could have definitely bought him for <£12m January 2019. What on earth were Bournemouth doing with him?! They had Steve Cook centre half!
