Completely understand Mings in to deal with Brobby.

Pau didn't get him a sniff when we pumped Ajax two years ago.
That was 2 years and a few kilos of steroids ago.

Mings normally gets wound up by such players.

Don't remember Ajax touching the ball.

Can't understand the emergence of the anti-Mings feeling over the past few months. Pau maybe more cultured and I understand prople having preferences, but Mings has served us well for 7+ years

Yeh it’s a bit odd. We don’t play with as much fluidity with Mings but he’s hardly shit.

Not really. He's exactly the same player as he was then.

It’s not that odd for people to prefer our best players to be playing, is it? Luiz isn’t shit, but everyone would be gutted if Tielemans wasn’t playing.

Anyone worried about Mings, go back and watch Fenerbache away. Horses for courses.

Just don’t watch the Man U or Chelsea games.
