...we don’t currently have a centre half to play alongside Carlos who is markedly better than Mings and we may struggle to persuade one to join us at present. Maybe the club will pull one out of the bag before the end of the window. But until then, why look to isolate him in the way Gerrard has? And make it personal and make it public? He can still be a positive influence for the team and this situation probably reduces his transfer value as well with other teams seeing that Gerrard doesn’t seem to rate him. Unless Mings has been behaving completely unprofessionally this needless situation has been created unnecessarily by the manager. Being dropped alone (in a World Cup year as well) would probably have been enough to motivate Mings.

That's the point Mings hasn't been unprofessional.
When he got dropped internationally, he was supportive to the squad. When he lost the captaincy to McGinn again he was supportive. The only person who has been unprofessional in all of this is our manager. He didn't have to answer the question about Mings post match Saturday. He could have said he wanted to focus on the 11 who started the match (+ subs) or even better on his own non-performance as manager, but no he chose to put the focus on someone who didn't even make it on the pitch. Deflect, distract, don't look here look over there tactics.  Where have we seen that before and look at how that's worked out.

He’s not been unprofessional that we’re aware of is probably more accurate. But even if he had, I’m not sure what Gerrard gets addressing it publicly in the manner he has.

We're not talking about the class of 2016 here, Smith put paid to all that. We're talking about a close knit group of players that includes Mings (but also Traore, Guilbert, Nakamba, Sanson) that are being methodically isolated. Clearly there will be things going on behind the scenes that we're not party to, but none of the players quoted have acted unprofessional publicly as far as I'm aware unlike the manager. If he's acting in that way publicly I'd dread to think what he's like behind closed doors.

Disappointed to see a villa fan, judging by their username, retweet the greatest player I have seen wear our colours, and state 'he is pissed again'.

I might come round to getting rid of him at this rate. If he starts suggesting we play five at the "barck", he's dead to me.

Not being able to pronounce Birmingham is the kicker for me. Not saying he can't, but I have my suspicions.

It's probably why he's still out of work.

Whenever I meet someone from Birmingham I pronounce it "Boooooormiiiiingum". They love that.
