Tyrone Mings - signed permanently and confirmed as even more awesome

[Mortimer's Bear]

The only slight issue I see with this plan is Coady is wank.

I've just smiled for the first time since Saturday afternoon.

I wonder whether not having Terry as part of the coaching staff is showing itself.

[BC Villain]

Genuine question here, how was he at fault for any of the goals yesterday? Was it his sliced clearance that led to the first one? I couldn't tell who it was live and I certainly won't be watching again. He was getting pelters from blokes behind me for second but again I'm not sure what he did wrong? McGinn gave the ball away in midfield and I think there was a defensive header Watkins missed so not sure what it was to do with Mings.

Exact fault for the goal does not matter as much as the disorganisation and helter skelter defending that we  descended into for the last 15 minutes and injury time. Mings was mostly responsible for that and also made number of individual errors through poor anticipation and lack of professional judgement. To start with being booked for time wasting at 60th minute, and the ref was absolutely correct to book him, is pathetic. It sent a terrible message to his teammates. After that he proceeded to keep being caught out of position on several occasions resulting in disrupting the team shape and causing general confusion. Top that with several mis hits and desperate lunges. This is not what we and his team mates expect from out team captain.

Let's face, when the captain loses his head, what chance his teammates keeping theirs?

I'm not normally a fan of 'keepers being captains, but Martinez would be a far better candidate.

I predict Mings will score for a set piece vs Arsenal!

[pauliewalnuts]

Mings is a born leader.

He's just a very fallible defender.

Ty Mings tweeted and Aston Villa retweeted on Joshua Cavallo's coming out

Absolutely brilliant. I admire your strength of character to be proud of who you are. We’re all with you. I’m sure you’ve inspired many, many people with this 👊🏽

That's another good reason why Mings is captain

[Aldridge Villa]

Agreed, but would now like to see some performance and exemplary attitude and concentration on the pitch that is expected of a good captain. Emphasis on good.

He'll be fine when we stop playing a stupid formation.

[olaftab]

We'd be fine when he stops playing stupid.

[Ian.]

We'd be fine when he stops playing stupid.

We’d also be fine if the rest of the team stopped playing stupid and the manager stoped selecting wing backs.

[martin o`who??]

He'll be fine when we stop playing a stupid formation.

you can't blame some of those shocking clearances and decisions v Wolves on a stupid formation.

He’s no more guilty than a lot of the team since we played Man Utd. John McGinn had a shocker last week. Watkins
Has been wearing Pennywises boots all season, even Konsa looks unsteady at the moment. Mings is not alone in this.

[N'ZMAV]

he'll be fine when he realises he's more Eric Dier than Franco Baresi

I certainly can. The defence, as a whole, looked much more confident last season. The new formation has eroded their confidence leading to stupid mistakes all over the back four.

Five. But yeah.
