To be honest I hope Mings isn’t selected, it is in Aston Villa’s best interest that he stay fit, and maybe get some extra sessions with Emery.

I'm happy to commend Miings when he plays well, but at the same time, I have to find fault when I see it. I can be plenty critical of him if he actually deserves it. He made a mistake as do all players. He mistimed a header and it led to a goal. But it was also not an unrectifiable error. The ball landed in the space between the back line and the keeper. Had Konsa or Martinez reacted to the mistimed header they could have gotten to the ball before mount. Or made the shot more difficult. Neither did. And whilst the fault is on mings it was a mistimed header they happen. No player ever heads the ball perfectly 100% of the time. Compared to Dier. Let's the ball bounce and has plenty of time to think. Letting the ball bounce let's Salah pressure him. Under pressure he passes it behind his teammate and underhits it. Salah intercepts the ball and from there it is unrectifiable. Salah has the ball one on one. No one in the Tottenham back line will catch him and he'll score in a one on one like 80% of the time. Also note mings wasn't my favourite villa player when I selected this avatar. It was El Ghazi. Now it is probably Luiz. But Mings is also the best representative of the club we have and I'm proud that he plays for us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Ross **** Turnbull has a Champions league, an Europa league and two FA cups. any relation to Fred Turnbull?.....good ole Stalwart. back to Ty.....funny how England pick their men, now he's on form, he is left out. He may have an error in him, but so has Maguire..... If my memory serves me correctly, I don't think Ty has made an error for England. If the team was in the top 6, he would be in. Southgate is so predictable......manages, just like his penalties....predictable. Edited November 8, 2022 by TRO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the current generation of English players are better than previous generations of English players? Or do you mean English players are better than any other nations players?

He has really good games but he is far too mistake laden to be a top centre- half. the reason you keep harping on about the chelsea error, despite mings playing no less than 4 full 90 minute games since then, is because you know it's the only mistake he's made this season but it's something to cling on to in order to keep attaching this "mistake laden" label to him it's odd that you haven't mentioned the no doubt numerous other errors you believe he's made this season that justifies such a reputation 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I seem obsessed with the Chelsea error is because it was such an horrendous error, it's actually stuck at the front of the memory department In my loaf. I will endeavour to erase it. But let's not pretend he doesn't have a tendency to make costly errors more often than he should. I'm not alone in noticing this, it's been said by many and imo it's an honest criticism, regardless of how good he can often be. If you don't accept that criticism, then we'll agree to differ.

Don't make it something it isn't. Like I said earlier, it's labouring the point now. My opinion was he didn't need to make that challenge that led to the free - kick, that's my opinion, that's not inventing anything. As for agendas, don't be ridiculous. I've praised him many a time, but you choose to ignore that. You're just annoying me now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Are there premier league defenders who wouldn't have been forced into errors given our midfield issues over the last few years? I feel like Mings gets labelled as "error prone" for some incidents that happened years ago and people are looking for his errors where other well regarded defenders make just as many mistakes and don't have the same reputation. We'd have conceded many, many more goals over Mings' time here if he wasn't in the lineup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know why, but you ask any fan of another club and they’ll tell you he’s shite. It’s all very odd. Look, he makes a mistake every now and again, but for the most part he’s f***** superb. I don’t think there are many better defenders in the PL than him on his day. If he didn’t make any mistakes, he’d be at a top club, without doubt, but right now, he’s our best defender and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. It’s as a result of the how football is watched these days. Most fans watch full games of their own team, and whatever click-oriented highlights social media spits out of every other team. This coupled with those god awful football banter/GOAT accounts like Football Bible and so on looking for clicks. Clicks are generated by moments that people will watch. This results in Mings been known for that Ibrahimovic stamp and high profile mistakes. They don’t see the other 99% of the minutes he has played where he has been a very competent defender who is in no way dirty. It’s Dejan Lovren syndrome. 99% of the time a perfectly competent sometimes unbeatable CB but his errors/brain farts are what he’s remembered for by most football fans. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
