I said when we bought him that he lacked the physicality to be a perfect PL defender and I think that’s been borne out, but he’s very good when you factor in his plus points. My oft-repeated mantra is ‘Konsa needs Mings, Pau needs a right-sided Mings’ and I think that’s been borne out too.

Tyrone on the injury:He knows that he's still got a long way to go until he's 100% again, and believes the last 20% of rehab is in playing games, but speaking about how long he thinks it will be until he's in perfect condition, he said: "I would say another 3 or 4 months of playing continuously is when I will stop thinking about the injury."The fact that I've been out, and to stop being so rusty in certain situations - there are so many things that you only experience in a game."There is no grace period - you're either good or you're not."
Great servant to the club but really struggling to get back to the level he was. Sad to watch him in last 30 mins tonight

The defensive mistake wasn’t ideal, but it happens. It was more him and Konsa being really poor on the ball that was the problem - failing to pick passes, playing passes too short etc.
