I don’t want this to sound patronising, but it’s really heartening to see intelligent players at the Villa. Mings is clearly clever and able to spot what’s going wrong on the pitch in real time without needing the manager to be screaming at him from the half way line. I think it’s something we have really lacked over the last 5 or 6 seasons. Great players are clever and think about the game as a whole, not just their little bit of it.
