Then on top of that, on a human level, he was at his former club, a small town club, since he was six years old, and has been transplanted elsewhere, abroad, away from what he was used to and had to learn quickly.I've always assumed too that it was not the plan for him to be playing as much as he has, as soon as he has. If Mings didn't get injured we probably wouldn't have signed Lenglet, and Torres would be playing the Euro/Cup games with the idea being he's slowly introduced to the league with a view to eventually replacing Mings. Obviously the injury changed the plans and he's been thrown in at the deep end, but I think he's done well, and will continue growing into the role.

Not even on the subs bench tonight vs Georgia. I hope it's not an injury?

As I said before his casual defending is terrifying, his passing is sublime. He's good but no Maldini.
His range of passing is incredible for a CB. He gets beaten on the turn and in the tussle, a shame that Tyrone got injured because he'd be great as left of a back 3.
