QldVilla Posted October 24, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 24, 2021 6 hours ago, WHY said: Plenty of our fans wanted him as captain when Grealish had the armband. Grealish was 10 times the captain Mings will ever be, did his talking on the pitch with his performances. Unfortunately Mings just talks! I remember getting heat from a few for suggesting Mings shouldn't be captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrones been shocking in some games this season but he’s been the voice of the team since he joined us. I’d be surprised if grealish captains another side again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that its a great comparison but the other English defenders none came from elite academies Stones from Barnsley, Maguire at Sheffield United and Conor Coady was a midfielder at Liverpool. Michael Keane might be the only England centre back to come from an elite academy and he is crap It might be why England are lacking in that department.

PaulC Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I would have chosen McGinn over him as captain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I'm surprised, but ultimately not surprised at some posters completely losing their heads because Villa lost. Mings is now a shite captain because him and the rest of the team were abysmal against Arsenal. The replies to this will be he has been shit for weeks. No. He has had more poor performances this year but was brilliant against everton and united. Seems funny how only now people are questioning his captaincy when he has been captain for a third of last season and all of this. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Next game will be his 100th for Villa I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I don't think it really matters who's captain. Will Ming's be any less vocal, I doubt it. Will Mcginn be louder, I doubt it. Both are good ambassadors to the club. Both try their best but sometimes fall short. Why are people that bothered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s something I’ve never quite worked out why. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be the stamping? He trod on someone’s head when playing for Bournemouth at old Trafford, and then he trod on a Reading player’s head for Villa in an away game. The one at Reading was horrific and appeared completely deliberate to me, not that he aimed for the guy’s face, he didn’t, but that he “left a bit on him”. He is in many ways admirable, but he has got a nasty streak in him, perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be it but I think a lot forgave him as he got us promoted but it seems for me a lot of people turned on him after the BLM protest he went on and that he somehow became too big for his boots Since then he has been public enemy No 1 after every loss 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he's black, very confident (could say cocky) and vocal, a combination some people can't cope with I'm afraid. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sometimes occur when he thinks he is better than he is and becomes too casual. Maybe some fans see this as arrogance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only seems to be in England where people obsess about who's captain. It's not cricket, the captaincy doesn't matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A blues mate of mine (let's skip over this) and that's exactly what he said. Last season he played well. Now he point fingers, hoofs it, makes stupid tackles, and chews gum. It just looks arrogant from the sidelines, which is something I agree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is any beef. Just some of us on here that's been saying for some time that he is somewhat overrated in here. Tyrone Mings is an ok PL level defender but he isn't this elite defender that will take us into Europe. As of per now he certainly should be a starter. Him and Konsa have a decent partnership in a back 4. Really odd that Smith tried to fix something that wasn't broken.

Of course, Villa never had black, very confident, and vocal players before Mings. Thank goodness for that, or those racist Villa fans would’ve disliked them too... FWIW I don’t think he’s very confident at all and that is part of the problem. I think he flaps and loses his head sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he looks uninterested, he is a prick that does funny tricks. It's the same with Mings. When he has poor games, his general attitude doesn't look well.
