With the goals he's scored, Traore should be higher than 13th, surely. Risso's top 5 is fair and Mings has been very disappointing.

I don’t think that’s fair at all. I think he’s had a very good season overall. Unfortunately he has some clangers in there that takes the focus away from a lot of the really good work that he does.

Unfortunately he has some clangers in there that takes the focus away from a lot of the really good work that he does. Exactly. We've got clean sheets in over half our matches and Mings has played in every one of them. Sometimes I think a piece of criticism seems to pick up its own momentum and distort the reality, he hasn't been really disappointing at all. If as the 'leader' of our defence, then there's no way we'd have the 3rd best defensive record in the trademarked best league in the world. He was great last night, like a magnet to Barcode crosses in the first half and there were a couple of moments where he played safe by sticking the ball in the stands or going back to Martinez which shows he's learning. He's made a few errors this season but most players make mistakes. The back five are working together as a unit and Mings deserves his share of the credit.
Come on why the negative comments on Mingsy? He has a mistake in him but as a per elf all the cracking blocks, organising and moving the ball forward it miniscule

Mings is still the most likely one to make a daft error, so having him near the bottom seems fair.

Traore especially and El Ghazi often make mistakes to lose the ball, McGinn and Dougie from time to time misplace passes. As a centre back mistakes usually lead to a chance on goal or a goal so have bigger consequences.
