MWARLEY2 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Always loved him , but there are times when i do doubt him. And then he comes back and puts in great performance after great performance. So dominant it was untrue yesterday 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His presence and contribution have led to our upsurge from championship to Prem. He is a vital cog in our machine. But he’s never been beyond criticism, no one is. Fed up of this narrative that if someone is critical then it means they hate someone or isn’t as passionate about Villa or some nonsense. It’s always been the previously regular lapse in concentration that always seemed to lead to an opposition goal that raised the eyebrows. He’s been a lot more consistent and stable recently and seems to have sharpened up and cut the silly errors out a bit more. Good to see and maybe taking the captaincy of him has let him relax more? Do you mean the suggestion of taking the captaincy off him? He was captain yesterday. As for any narrative, some of the stuff posted in here has been an embarrassment at times. Some criticism is fine and is indeed warranted but the reaction he’s received in here when he’s culpable is often disproportionate to other players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Mings played well again yesterday and was definitely one of our better players. Just a little thing but after the game yesterday my daugher wanted to get a few autographs of the players as she hasn't done that before. The players that made the effort to sign autographs for all that wanted them: Mings, Coutinho, Luiz and McGinn. Also Cash and Young signed a few too. The rest of the players just left! To me Mings is a captain on and off the pitch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After - yeah outside the players car park. Was interesting to see which players made time for the fans and which didn't. TBF Martinez and Buendia also signed a few but they had their young kids with them so can understand them wanting to get away. McGinn was a right laugh and was chatting to everybody! Edit - looking at a recent video on the Villa sight Watkins, Ramsey and Ings signed a few too. Edited May 2, 2022 by Brumstopdogs 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In contrast I've heard Buendia isn't and has been a bit stroppy and less likely to interact with fans. Unfortunate considering he has a young family.

Popular Post ferguson1 Posted May 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2022 Dare I say this, but he seems really focussed and is cutting out the silly mistakes. Probably the best and most consistent English centre half in the country right now? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich192 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Another very good performance from him today. Him and Cash have probably been our best players under Gerrard. He does have the occasional brain fart, but he more than makes up for it in the rest of his game. Top guy, and a good defender to boot. We’ll need to replace him eventually, but I’d be happy if he was still first choice next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STO Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Mings has really tidied up his game recently and has looked every bit a Captain and an England international he is. Konsa on the other hand...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
