I’m not an expert
I don’t know if Mings being seen as a star player by other fans and pundits is a blessing because it keeps Konsa under the radar or if it’s a curse because I think it can potentially breed arrogance.
I’ve said it a few times before, Mings has all the attributes to be a top defender, even though he’s 27 and that step on really needs to happen now. His career can either plateau from now, perhaps a few England call ups and half decent seasons with us, or he can push on and make the left side of centre back for England his being a lefty and be a key player credited in taking us forward.
My frustration with Mings is that all his downsides are things he can work on, because if he improves his concentration and decision making, added to his physical presence and his footballing ability, you have potentially a top class defender.
If I look at match threads, Mings is called out every game (by me as much as anyone). I’d like to see him perhaps less visible on social media distractions, and he has business ventures outside of football which are highly commendable but you pay someone else to manage it, be selfish and really knuckle down over the next 6 months to become a consistently good and error free player game after game after game.
We’ve seen 18 months of Mings in the top flight and the reality is he’s probably exactly the same player he was when we were promoted.
