2018/19 Yerry Mina

[MikeH72]

Yes, obviously... I'm suggesting that when on form Keane and Zouma displayed a much more solid and stable defence than any I observed while Mina was on the field.

We know that more shots = more goals, in that game you keep citing they had 15 shots. Although I'm no a stat pleb I do believe that the high number of shots helps my point here as it reflects how they were able to get into dangerous areas and shoot due to our defence being shaky and not solid. Closing your eyes and reciting the final score completely ignores the course of the game and the player performances.

??? What? How do you know how many of those shots were from dangerous positions? What about when we actually conceded 6 goals at home in a game when Keane and Zouma played?

The only one ignoring the course of games here is you I’m afraid. I don’t know why you’re trying so hard to convince us he’s been crap when the very simple fact of the matter is he hasn’t.

Stays fit for the copa where all kinds of skulduggery and generally outhousery takes place but will be put out of action after the first contact session by a light challenge by Lookman.

 

[Connor]

Oh my good God, the stats lads cover their eyes in horror as WhoScored shows him to be amazing and superior to Zouma.

 

[DaChunk]

We'll see next season. I'm not going to spend anymore time "convincing you he's crap". Hopefully he can kick on and be a top player next season but as of right now he hasn't impressed me and I think he was Brands' only poor transfer so far.

You haven't even tried. What didn't you like about his performances?

He's Rash gets too close to defender making it easy for them roll him hence all the fouls

Mina still has a lot to learn even basic positioning many times ive seen him lagging back not in line with the back four this is a recipe for a disaster when playing a high line

I suspect he'll always be a shaky/frustrating defender living on the edge but if he can start dominating in both boxes could still become a asset

I think I need longer to make my mind up on Mina. Some games his positioning looks dodgy but other games he plays well.

I think people writing him off are doing it too early. Keane and Zouma looked like they had no idea how to zonal mark for a third of the season yet people are quick to forget that period and rave about them, whilst writing off Mina when he's not played that many games.

Mina is a far bigger threat from set pieces than Keane and Zouma too. Both of the latter missed a load of good chances last season.

 

[tommye]

He won me over the minute he did one of them feints he does every time he gets the ball.

It was the bouncy castle for me.
He was having so much fun.
He looked so happy, how could you not love him?

Yeah and the belter arse slide sealed the deal.

Cant believe we haven't knocked down that Dixie Dean statue and replaced it with Yerry sliding across the hallowed turf with his legs akimbo.

They were doing what the manager wanted, but it didn't work.
We had a 17 day brake from games after getting knocked out the cup, when the team went away and worked on it. The system changed after that too one that worked for both the players.
After that both were great, as a partnership and individually, which is what we want.

Agreed, I just think Mina shouldn't be written off yet, he's more likely to offer a goal threat, which is important as we need to score more to have a chance of top 6.

That's true on the goal thing but if Marcel Brando can find us a quality striker the need might not be as urgent.
