English Premier League star Tyrone Mings has gone viral after posting an update in his recovery from a horror ACL injury. The West Ham United centre back suffered the nightmare knee injury in August when the club fell to Newcastle. .... I am so ashamed to be an Aussie They got it right by the end of the article, mind.

Am working in sydney until July. A bit off topic but: I'm unaware of any meetups, sadly. Perhaps any other posters from Sydney can help there. One thing I do know: Getting to a pub to watch Villa in the conference final will be difficult. Firstly, it's waaaay low on the radar here as far as sport goes. You'd more likely see a repeat of an NRL game from the previous weekend. Secondly, if it's played at a similar time as our games against Ajax - that's 7am down here. Most places aren't even open yet.

Popular Post Mark Albrighton Posted April 6 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted April 6 I’m mindful that I don’t want to be appear reactionary after a game. Get on any defender’s back, as I rather like them (particularly Konsa and Torres). And normally I’m not overly bothered about clean sheets. More than happy to win 4-3 every week. But blimey, all season I have felt like we would have more clean sheets if Ty was around. Whether we’d have as many points, I’m less sure of. But I really feel like we would have conceded fewer, in spite of how good Torres and Konsa are (it’s not helping when Konsa has to play right back, but even when in the centre, I feel like we’re more porous than we were). We managed 9 cleans sheets in Unai’s 25 games last season, conceding 26. We’re on 7 cleans after 32 games this season, conceding 49. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty is not only better at defending individually than Torres, but he is also good organiser and leader on the pitch. Very different profile to other defenders we have.

GeordieVillan Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I think we would have had an impact, but I think he too would have been exposed more by our playing style this year, and the other injuries. We are playing high risk football, like many of the best teams do, and we are 4th in the league. Last season we were more solid but more cautious. There may be a middle ground. I do think the front 6 we played today would have left Mings exposed as well, especially if he was playing in the Carlos position and Konsa played how he did today. I suppose the question is whether Mings would have been in Konsa’s ear and making sure he wasn’t getting caught out… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the question is whether Mings would have been in Konsa’s ear and making sure he wasn’t getting caught out… I feel like we are playing in a reasonably similar manner to last season. I certainly recall plenty of critiques of high lines and playing out from the back. To kinda further hammer home the stats, of the 26 goals we conceded with Unai in charge last season, 11 were in that 3 game run of Arsenal, Leicester and Citeh. So I think it’s fair to say they were an outlier. If we take them out, it’s 15 goals conceded in 22 games. No two ways about it, that’s really good. If we do likewise and take out the three worst games this season so far, it would be 36 goals conceded in 29 games. That’s not terrible, but obviously nowhere near as good. I don’t really know what the answer is, because my gut feeling tells me that Konsa and Torres are the starting duo going forward. But I think we’re missing something that Mings can offer. Edit - also, I may be remembering incorrectly but I think we were fourth best in the league since Emery took over to the end of the season. Edit - no, sorry 5th in the “since Emery took over” table.

lapal_fan Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Ty is built for the Prem. He's big, powerful, quick and dominating. He might not be as technically gifted as Pau, but he has the right mentality and physicality to deal with what we couldn't deal with yesterday. He might not be the same Ty as the one who got injured at Newcastle anymore (who knows!) but I can't wait to have him back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaVilla Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Mings would play instead of Carlos in this current set up and it would be a huge upgrade. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely was a leader and a “talker”, and I definitely want him back and playing. But he too has lapses of concentration in him, and other than the run under Unai at the end of last season, he’s been part of the team over the last few years that has also been vulnerable to in game spells of collapse, or moments at the beginning of first halves and second halves where we give away goals. I certainly don’t think we would be any worse with Mings in the team, just not sure it would solve these current issues. It feels more like a structural thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
