Interesting comment about Mendy in Sam Lee's latest article for The Athletic.

Benjamin Mendy, a peripheral figure on the pitch, has been key for morale with his relentless quest to have fun and he has impressed coaches by continuing to be happy and supportive even when left out of the team, wishing his mates good luck and offering hugs and advice.

I am not sure he will ever get back to a decent level due to the injuries he has had but he has made a bigger contribution to this years success than many realise.

Fair play to the lad for maintaining such an attitude and outlook,it must be killing him knowing he is so much better than his body has dictated.

A real shame as that lad at Monaco would have improved this team tremendously.

Hallelujah FI. At last someone being supportive of Benny. I said it time and again he was great when he arrived and injuries have wrecked him. Some of the comments in this thread are terrible.
Thanks Benny here’s hoping you can somehow improve strength and agility and get back to somewhere near your best

I'm actually not so sure. Yeah, he was faster prior to injuries - but his defensive frailty can't be something new - nor his overall poor football skill (passing, ball retention, first touch, positional awareness and so forth).

At Monico, Mendy excelled at hitting a pacy ball into the box - MBappe or Neymar were often proximate and a goal sometimes resulted.

IMO, Mendy's top season at Monaco was an aberration - not indicative of his actual ability. Mendy's actual ability is evident now, in our side - he's lost a bit of pace, for sure, but that doesn't explain the numerous non-pace related defects in his game.

Some of the comments are justified because Mendy has been largely terrible when he's played. His injuries have taken their toll and he's simply not good enough, nor reliable enough when he does play.

So calling a city player a “fucker”, waste of space etc… is justifiable to you? Fair enough if that’s how you want to show your support
