We need to stick with other defenders who can be relied on to stay fit. He will break down again inside 3 games max.I suspect our fate now hinges on the number of games this fella plays for Everton from now to the end of this season. There is no way in hell he should be allowed to play for Colombia again this season. I know he is suspended for the next game, but Lampard needs to put down a marker here. He plays for Everton and nobody else this season as his absenteeism is proof positive that he is not up to playing for both club and country at the moment.
In principle I agree with you, but when those defenders are Holgate and Keane... While they can be relied on to stay fit, they can also be relied on to leave us down...every single game.We need to stick with other defenders who can be relied on to stay fit. He will break down again inside 3 games max.

Yep exactly. Thats why we need to move on from him and back a different partnership. For me, last night was the point where we have to accept this isn't going to work. Hes a good player but that's no help if he cant play.He won't be back if it's a quad injury for another 3/4 weeks. There's another 4/5 games missed.
100%. The difference when he went off was huge. He's so good on the ball as well as defensively. Once he went off we stopped being able to play out from the backI had theory that on the weekend his presence On the right hand side helped Coleman a lot and yesterday for the 1st 30 minutes, Between them they contained Maximin but as soon as went off Maximin run amok with Holegate and Coleman. You cannot underestimate the presence of Mina in that backline
He's down to a short enough remaining term on his contract that his agent should be advising him to consider taking a pay cut in order to guarantee more wages in the long run, then leave the decision to Mina.I rate him, but given his lack of availability and entering the last year of his contract we have to sell. The problem is when he practically lives in the physio room and earns £120k p/w…who takes him?
I can't see Colombia qualifying for the World Cup. Their recent form is like ours.He's down to a short enough remaining term on his contract that his agent should be advising him to consider taking a pay cut in order to guarantee more wages in the long run, then leave the decision to Mina.
What his agent will probably do is let the contract run down, then try to capture the surplus from leaving on a free in Mina's wages. He will probably try to sign Mina to a pre-contract the day that becomes possible. That gambles on Mina having a good World Cup and being healthy at the time, which I think is a bit risky. It worked the last time, though, and most people don't switch strategies when it worked the last time.
