Many Aston Villa fans have been fuming on Twitter following a statistic documented by Villa Analytics claiming that Tyrone Mings has made more defensive errors than any other player in the Premier League since the club’s promotion to the top-flight in 2019.

Since joining the Villains that year, the 28-year-old has made 94 appearances for the Midlands outfit, registering 11 goal contributions with six goals and five assists [Transfermarkt].

However, the club captain has copped plenty of criticism in recent times. As relayed by Villa Analytics on Twitter, the 6 foot 5 ace has made more defensive errors than any other Premier League player since the beginning of the 2019/20 season.

Just last weekend, Mings was responsible for one of Chelsea’s goals in their 3-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge following a weak back pass [BBC].

In light of this revelation, loads of Aston Villa fans took to Twitter to fume over the emergence of this alarming fact.

It’s getting silly”Credit: @Tom_Price_AVFC_”He’s good but nowhere near the hype and definitely shouldn’t be captain. All these mistakes is not leading by example. How McGinn didn’t get the armband is beyond me”Credit: @callow_19″Give McGinn the armband. Stop making excuses for Mings.”Credit: @man_compute”He is a brilliant captain, does have a mistake in him though.”Credit: @Caseyjones821″Clearly 2 camps with the Mings debate, those who believe his positives outweigh his mistakes and those who don’t. I’m in the first group but that doesn’t mean you can ignore the stats.”Credit: @danielhavfcIn other news, many Aston Villa fans react to a brilliant goal from an under-23 starlet. Find out more here.
