Agreed and with how we've been setting up Konsa, Pau and Mings was absolutely the plan from the get-go.
Well it was an ACL and he had an operation. I'd be surprised if he plays again this season.
There is an outside chance he gets some minutes in late April but May is right on the recovery timeline. Typically its a 9 month recovery unless you're a freak of nature.
I don't want him too. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever to rush it. He's far more important for next season than risk him for a few games. The players we've signed will be bedded in by then, and if there are issues at the back and our new signings aren't working we have the January window to sort it
O??
But that’s a positive thing. Love Ming’s, his passion and his leadership, but if we can improve then bring it on. Mings is one of my favourites going back to the Championship days, he’s been part of the journey from the darkest days in Villa‘s recent history and I think when his career is over, he’ll get semi-legendary status, but we have to evolve - football is relentless and ruthless.
And to look on the positive side there is only Brighton who have scored more goals than us.
Scoring goals hasn't been the issue, keeping them out has hence discussing the central defence in the Tyrone Mings thread
+7 goal difference.
Also 8 of the 11 came in 2 games. Don't think we have a real issue defensively moving forward, the two games were away from home, against top opposition when our new defense was bedding in.
