Never call POTS when drunk. Otherwise people like Stephen Ireland win it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look a good partnership already. Personally, I see him getting caps for Belgium sooner or later. He was nothing short of excellent tonight and a snip at the price we paid for him. All aboard the Mingels train! Are you sure it's not The Villa Enging? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Another shrewd purchase. Excellent debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villaphan04 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 wasn't he linked with Brentford when Smith was in charge of them last summer? Excellent debut and can't wait to see more from him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Five Ken McNaughts Posted August 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2019 The Engels / Mings / Heaton unit is such a massive positive from that first game. Every time I feel anxious about some other aspect of the team, I just remind myself of this. It took until February to get this vital cog in the machine right last season. This time, we appear to have got it sorted on Day One (AND with decent cover). Hats off to Deano, the recruitment team and all three players. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Really like how elegant he is, really composed on the ball and really composed and thoughtful in his positioning. Rarely looked flustered, very little is 'last ditch' about him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Another great thing about this Engels + Mings partnership is it makes me feel more comfortable risking Hourihane at DM. Having two ballers behind him definitely seems to make him less panicky in possession, and it means we get Hourihane's threat on set pieces and long shots. That Mings + Engels + Heaton unit looks top-half Premier League to me. Just need the rest of the squad to start firing, and I think we can start picking up a few points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrytini Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Very very classy debut. Ill stick my neck out and say we will have the best defence outside the Top 8 if he and Mings stay pretty fit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 An absolutely phenomenal performance under intense pressure, man of the match for me. He did not deserve to be on the losing side of a defence conceding three goals. There's no prettier sight in football than a central defender who makes the game look effortless. He's like James Chester in that regard, but better. And better on the ball. Hause and Konsa have their work cut out because between Engels and Mings, we have a premier league centre half partnership. No doubt in my mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 12, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2019 Yeah I was really impressed with him as most others seem to be. He's tall and great in the air, but so much more to his game other than that as well. Looked comfortable on the ball, good passer. Considering I had no idea what to expect, I was put totally at ease about our defence. Heaton with Engels and Mings is a lovely triangle to have if they keep performing as they've started. If the new fullbacks impress too then our first choice defence could be looking pretty damn good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
