Tyrone Mings - signed permanently and confirmed as even more awesome

[LukeJames]

Mings and Konsa were back to their best, in fact the whole back 5 looked like the unit they were last season.

[Clampy]

He was superb yesterday. A real leaders performance. That said, i still think he might possibly benefit from not being captain and letting him concentrate on his own game but if he keeps that level of performance up, then Gerrard might stick with him.

You could be right, but then I reckon McGinn would be the next candidate and you could probably make the same point about him. Anyway, superb finish at the end. Apart from one crap ball, he just kept it simple all game, and he looks a million times better when he does.

To be honest, I said exactly the same thing yesterday to someone. If you pass it to McGinn, he might lose the edge out of his game as well. I think he'll stick with Mings if carries on like that but the fact that he's acknowledged that he's thinking about the change is either genuine or just good management.

He's the leader, the main vocal point of the team now and the organising general. I don't give a fuck if Kipper, right wing Tory ****** don't like it that a black bloke has a voice and wants to hear it heard. Long may it continue. He's out leader and he got this club from word go and I think he deserves backing.

Great player, even better bloke.

Spot on.

Seconded

Thirded.

Yep, me too. Love him.

[Drummond]

Do wonder if having someone with Gerrard’s profile will mean that he’ll pull Mings up if he is sloppy, whereas I got the feeling that might not have been the case after Terry left.

No, you're right, Smith would never drop him from the team.

[Flamingo Lane]

It was great to see him get that goal yesterday, and how well he took it.

I do think that Mings get some unfair stick for his distribution, as his long passes are often very good, and those that just drift astray are usually played when there are no other real options.  He also does seem to take more responsibility than say Konsa does, for setting play up (which is not a criticism of Konsa).

One thing I noticed yesterday with the game still at 0-0 was that Mings took some stick from Ashley Young when Young wanted Mings to play the ball for him over the top, but Mings tried to pass it to Young's feet and it was intercepted.  I though this a bit unfair, as it looked to me that a ball over the top would have got us nowhere, and that the ball to feet was indeed the much better option.

Couldn't agree more!
A brilliant purchase for our club who will want to win trophies for us as captain and no doubt will want to captain his country also.

[supertom]

Being properly coached again will help and I hope he's pulled up whenever he makes errors, because now is the time for big Tyrone to eradicate that from his game. He's a quality player, and even better bloke.

[Lastfootstamper]

Big up to the big fella for setting up his own goal with his determination to keep the ball in play while we were turning the screw. Fkn love him.

[martin o`who??]

Immense yesterday.

[Vegas]

Yep, really good yesterday. Dominant defensively in the air, bang up for it, decent header which forced a good save, great effort and class for the goal. Only blemish was that slightly ropey sliced clearance early in the second half.

I think that stood out because it was the only time he did it yesterday.

[ChicagoLion]

Immense yesterday.

he was the player he can be. Great to see.

[Risso]

When he's trying to do too much, or is panicking and just whacking balls down the wing, he's a liability. When he uses all of his natural attributes like speed, strength and heading ability, and keeps things simple when he has the ball, he's superb.
