Mings acknowledged that the team's performance was not good, but he doesn't think it was due to a lack of effort. He pointed out that the goals they conceded were poorly defended.

Mings has experienced tough times at Villa before, but he doesn't consider this season's start to be one of them. He believes it's time for the team to stay calm and block out the negative feedback they'll receive.

Mings emphasized the importance of unity and professionalism, especially after a poor start to the season. He encouraged players who want to be part of the team to dig in, stay calm, and fight for the team's badge.
