I think he's just got better and better with age to be honest. I thought he was massively overrated about 10-12 years ago and a bit of a donkey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 His fitness and work rate for me are very underrated. for a 35 year old he was harassing Southampton defenders up until 90th minute last weekend and sure he started the winning goal from a clearance he made on his own goalline a minute earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 He's played far more football than I thought he would, pretty much 95% of their games, thought they'd drop him for the cups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the game vs Northampton they rested him and had to bring him on. Think they even brought him to Ukraine for a Europa League tie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 He's a bit like Drogba IMO - peaked late and has had some of his best years over 30. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 4, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 4, 2017 What's this bloke got to do to get sent off! He's thrown one man to the floor and elbowed another one in the face - two red card offences and he hasn't had a booking yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Has actually got a yellow card, but that elbow should have been a straight red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 In all fairness if someone had stamped on my head is give some back at the first opportunity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably do more than elbow someone if they had just stamped on my head. Mings lying about it in the interview too :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 4, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 4, 2017 He should have been sent off before that for throwing a player to the ground. In fairness to Mings, there's a chance it's accidental - it's more of a treading than a stamp for me - there's no doubt about the elbow though.

Throwing the player to the ground is probably a yellow to be honest. You've got to be kidding on Mings, though. He even seems to look at Zlatan and deliberately catch him. Should be a huge ban for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've mentioned it in the Bacuna thread, but I don't know how football as a whole can come to the conclusion that deliberately stamping/treading on a players head or elbowing one in the face is worthy of less time out than chest bumping a linesman off balance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely this. If either of them get away with less than Bacuna then I just don't get it. Two premeditated attacks which were both borderline assault. I don't get the argument of if someone trod on my head then I'd deliberately try and smash an elbow into their skull either. Is it just me that finds this defence slightly disturbing.

VillaChris Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I've seen far worse elbows than the one Zlatan did....it was sneaky rather than malicious. I didn't see him pushing the Bournemouth player...will have to see that on MOTD. I think Mings could've avoided Zlatan tbh....being kicked in the head really hurts obviously so could understand why he seeked vengeance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
