# Aston Villa: Fans slam Tyrone Mings

**Plenty of Aston Villa fans have hit out at Tyrone Mings’ first half display against Fulham on social media.**

Dean Smith made [one change](https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2021/apr/04/aston-villa-v-fulham-premier-league-live) from the 2-0 defeat to Tottenham prior to the international break, with Anwar El Ghazi coming in for Trezeguet out wide and Jack Grealish still absent through injury.

Mings, who was away with England during the recent break, kept his place in the side, making his [28th](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tyrone-mings/leistungsdaten/spieler/253677) Premier League start of the current campaign on Sunday afternoon and his [29th](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tyrone-mings/leistungsdaten/spieler/253677) appearance in all competitions.

However, his first half performance didn’t hit the right note with some supporters, who took to Twitter to voice their concerns over the centre-back.

He started alongside Ezri Konsa, coming up against Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic in what has already proven to be a very physical battle, with the Serbian getting [two shots on target](https://www.sofascore.com/fulham-aston-villa/PsT) in the first half and proving a handful for the Villa defence.
