Yerry Mina

Hmm... maybe instead of keeping the ball for 75% and creating 3 chances in 90 mins, we should actually use our possession to create more danger in the box. Crossing is a good weapon. Madrid won 3 CLs with crosses and set pieces mostly.

And your solution to this is to use a CB?

Obviously we should set him up with a good striker coach and retrain him as a center forward. /s

Damn Gaspar, back at it again with them one-liners.

You don't keep a CB because he can score goals

Sure, but he can also stop goals at our end from crosses and aerial threats.

Remember those games were teams would give us 14 corners because we didn't have anyone in the box who could actually punish teams at set pieces. Remember when teams would foul us time and time agian because if a cross is made there is no one who is a top threat there.

We had Mathieu who himself was a monster in the air and his usefulness in set pieces didn't come close to making his defensive performances worth playing as anything more than 3rd choice CB in any situation. He even scored crucial goals for us that nobody cared to mention when he made a massive mistake on the defensive end.

For a defender, their defensive contribution is what is most important, and Mina isn't even on Bartra's level in that aspect.

Would he even play in these tough games tho? I can't really see Valverde starting Mina instead of Pique in an important CL game or just subbing him on unless its like the 90th min and we are desperate and out of other options.

To get his strengths on offense the coach has to trust him as a defender first so thats what has to be improved before we can even talk about him deciding close games.

As things stands he would probably not even be in the squad for these games with Lenglet coming as CB nr 3.

Stop giving gasgas attention. Every thread I go is filled with cringy little one liners from him which don't add anything to discussion.

Yerry Mina does not appear in the list of CB’s in Lenglet’s presentation communication.

It quite clearly mentions the 'experienced defenders' in relation to helping him grow.

1. Pique
2. Umtiti
3. Lenglet
4. Vermaelen

Mina is going to be 5th choice, if he stays. No need to keep him whatsoever now.
