"He has his hands on his face and it could be because he's hurt but also because this is the start of the season. He is a huge character and huge personality. He is a big part of that Aston Villa - I was going to say team - but entire club." New Villa signing Paul Torres replaced Mings at the heart of the defence. The centre-half was clapped off the pitch by both sets of supporters in a huge blow to Villains boss Unai Emery in their Premier League opener.
