2018/19 Yerry Mina

PhilRegan · March 11, 2019

We shouldn't write him of course not. There is a slight feeling of Per Kroldrup rather than Lescott though.

We wrote Kroldrup off far too quickly though...

I agree but I also think he got found out quickly too though. What we saw of him didn't suggest he was of the quality we needed. Along with the rumours that he couldn't head the ball as well.

He’s a bit rough around the edges but personally I think he’s more talented than Keane and Zouma put together and has a far higher ceiling.

That’s no barometer!

Does he appear to be a ‘headless chicken’ to you though?

Mina is so flat footed it's scary, gets caught out all the time on second balls. I hope he proves me wrong but I can't see anything to give me hope.

it might well be but that can only be asserted when you're willing to analyse everything.

we will see what he has on sunday against chelsea I imagine as zouma will need to sit. Hope he shows well.

Does he live in a chateau?

Anyone who needs to buy a yellow off him can do so with ease. Take the ball.... run at him and draw him to you for a jockey slow it down - quick nudge of the ball forward and a burst of speed and wait for the contact.

He's has a few yellows for exactly the same thing. He's got zero reactions and is flat footed.

I'm actually hoping lewis Gibson gets blooded.

Thankfully he’ll be able to slot into a back 4 this weekend without that donkey Zouma stumbling around confusing everyone.

It's just a shame Michael Keane is next to him though

They were solid enough as a pair in the away fixture.

Pinned in his own box is the only way he can defend

He seemed a bit irratic when I’ve seen him but the ability is there. It’s hard for any player to come to this league from abroad and I think it’s especiall difficult for defenders.
