Forget anything like team morale, this actually makes us weaker. I’d still take him over Hause, just for the better distribution. Against Chelsea when he was playing Mings’ position on the left, his balls forward were picked off too easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Spoony Posted January 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2021 Very unfair on Hause. He’s a better player than Mings. 1 2 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danishlad Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Just now, hippo said: Bottom line :- who is the better player ? Hause or Ming's ? Of course Mings. You don’t start your third choice defender against United who are second. Unless your third choice is a world class player. Hause is a good cover player. But no way should he start this game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Paul33 Posted January 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2021 No brainer all this surely ? Hause has been superb in nullifying orthodox big forwards but Man Ure play on the deck and have fast feet ...... for that reason Mings is easily the right choice. Hause has done no wrong but Smith should always pick the best team for each game and for this game Konsa and Mings offer the better chance of keeping the likes of Rashford quiet. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Sure Smith said he would be ready for this one , he said he misses Chelsea as he can't play against them , but would be available after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely isn’t fit enough, squads been playing well, so no need to rush him back in and risk further injury. He just tweeted a couple days ago that he's very close... he must've had a set back.

Stratvillan Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I'd play mings for his pace and distribution. Imo it's better than Hauses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7392craig Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 House has stepped up recently, and he’s certainly a capable defender. But he’s not a better CB than Mings, he was never going to start ahead of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eholm Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 1 minute ago, est1874 said: Sorry but this Barkley thing is bloody daft. 2-3 weeks ago he was "close" to playing, according to the manager. There's no way he's not capable of at least providing an option off the bench, unless there's been a massive setback. The club could do much better on communication around injuries. An old problem never rectified. Remember Jack being labelled close to a return for about 2 months before he actually kicked a ball again? This is a loan, and an expensive one, so we can't really afford a similar situation with Ross, particularly with such a brutal run of games ahead, and zero decent options coming off the bench. And wtf is the deal with Trezeguet??? Really?? See my earlier post re care needed with hamstring injuries. You also state that as an expensive loan we can’t afford for RB to be our for months.....we’ll, rush him back too soon and you risk getting a severe tear or rupture and he could be out for the season. Trez has a similar injury so again relax and enjoy Bert in the meantime Re comms around injuries.....why should we detail everything so that the opposition can plan accordingly. IMO good tactic from DS by not letting teams know if or when one of our best players (RB) will be selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Just want everyone to be held to the same playing and work rate standards. Don't care much for Mings's pontificating. Just play the game well and tune in mentally is what i want from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted January 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2021 If they play to their potential man for man their eleven has more quality. We will do very well to get a point tonight, but we've seen if we play to our best we can make chances against anyone so it's not out of the question to get a win but we'll have to be on fire.
