Mings didn't have his best game yesterday and my heart was in my mouth every time he had it in our box but he is normally fairly dependably when left to do what he does best- clear headers and be physical in the box. Unfortunately he occasionally thinks he's pele and this is when he's a liability.
Most likely this will be his last season and with everyone fully fit I can't see him being in Unai's starting 11 but he is a decent back up and doesn't deserve all this constant criticism.

He wouldn't get criticised so much if he didn't have a mistake in him every single game.
Unfortunately we have a shortage of CBs so he will get game time.
He was useful for first 3 or 4 years back in the Premier League but his no longer anywhere near good enough.
I feel sure we'll be buying another CB in January.

He was played because he's more physical than Pau. Unai knows we won't be as good playing out when Mings plays. If Pau started and lost the majority of his duels then you'd be slating him.
