Tyrone Mings - signed permanently and confirmed as even more awesome

[themossman]

That was coming for Mings. He misses Hause and the performance was petulant and brainless. Trying to skin players halfway up the pitch, Micah Richards esque??

For all his great games, he was poor tonight on many levels.

Agreed. But one game. Wake up call for him. The ‘stamps’ in his career show he loses his cool as he did for the first booking

[LeeB]

Shit happens.

He's still great, and he's still a huge reason why we've got to where we have.

Agreed.
A rest on Saturday and he’ll be back, all guns blazing.

[Steve67]

Shame he misses such a crucial game.  I don't know why he was booked for the first time?  Was defo a penalty though, although the booking is a double punishment and referee's are not supposed to do that any more unless it denies a certain goal.

[themossman]

First was a card all day long. Classic player gets caught out and takes a card to kill off the counter. No objections from him.

[themossman]

But yes I agree with the above he’s a great player has plenty of credit in the bank.

[ChicagoLion]

I think the last couple of games suggest there are some issues.

Agreed.  He was pretty crap against Wednesday, and poor again tonight.  Hopefully the game off will both recharge his batteries and also show that he needs to focus.  At his best he's been brilliant for us, but he can't get complacent.

I'm really not sure, the angle that's been shown so far looks 50/50 at most. For me the way the ball bounces away and his reaction suggests it's either chest or shoulder. Either way I agree that to give a yellow card as well was just shit from the ref (and I'd say the same for the Kodj pen as well, but that guy committed about 6-7 fouls so his yellow was well deserved even if it wasn't given for the right reason).

Does a red card always mean the next game missed ? I thought it was the one after.

Nope, they don't hang around these days. Instant ban.

Bloody hell, when did the football authorities get to be so efficient , that's not like them.

Ffs give Mings a break! Suddenly he's a scapegoat! McGinn has 13 bookings - no player is perfect!

Where has anybody said anything to suggest he's a scapegoat?
