2020/21 Yerry Mina

[thirdmantackle]

He's no Alcaraz, but still that was poor

 

[MikeH72]

Had a bit of a mare today. Unlike him as he’s usually reliable.

....got the basics wrong with their first goal today, the West Brom player should never have been allowed to run that far. We really need pace.

 

[Blue83]

I like him but he was like a headless chicken today

Takes CB longer to get to full match rhythm, especially one that has been out for a while. He will be just fine.

 

[NathDogg]

He couldnt go to Diangana as if he did he'd have been done for pace if he missed the ball.

He may have been told not to jump in the wall by Pickford or Ancelotti.

Cant play Keane and Mina together unless sitting super deep...weve known that for a while.

Not arguing on the diang goal, but once he gets to our box he has to engage and not keep backing off - he also turned his back/side to the ball, and looked scared of getting hit, which is criminal for me if you're a big centre half - let it smash you square in the chops/plums/anywhere - it's your job to block.

Same in the wall, and watch Yerry's face - he looks scared of the ball hitting him, which is a joke.

Anyway, if Pickford told me not to jump I'd do the opposite!

 

[Sweverton]

The worst performance from him in a blue shirt so far

I posted this in the match thread

I think Mina had 2 options;

A: Back off and then usher him wide

B: Go to the man. If he did that he'd have had to take him out. Otherwise the player would have just bombed past him.

This is why we cant have Keane + Mina playing a high line. No recovery pace.

Hopefully we bring in Tomori

Blaming Keane for Mina backing off like a 12 year old is QUITE the take.

 

[hktoffee]

A cb signing with let the cbs push each other harder.

 

[COYB]

Think he's a powerhouse alright defensive/ in air
but always feel really uncomfortable when he's on the ball/passing.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Needed to be braver today. He should be blindfolded and let the team smash balls at him as punishment.

Yeah. He jumps and that ball deflects off his face. Still a wonder goal, but the margins are so thin. You have to do the little things. I’m sure Carlo will sort it

He looks fast going forwards but slow on the turn......had a mare today -

Just seen the highlights. Unbelievably poor judgement by the man in letting the kid run that far for the first goal. He must have seen team mates in a position to sweep up if he messed up any tackle.
I like the lad and I'm sure he's popular in the squad but hes fast becoming a liability.

 

[Lloydystark]

At fault for the first should have done much better

Yeh but you see it do often, I remember maguire backing off loads in 1 game and resulted in a long range effort going going, next thing Roy keanes going mad saying he should get a taxi home
