Delph has been outstanding this season. I’d say he is far from a back up to mendy. I consider them equals now but with very different strengths, which means we can alternate depending upon the match. Forget all this Robertson bollocks, Fabian Delph has been the best left back in the league this season and he will get better.
I think we'll reach the same stage next season looking at our European campaign in the same light unless we have 2 proper left-backs in the squad. Of course, Mendy could stay fit all season but judging by his propensity to commit silly, needless tackles that lead to injury and pratting about on 1 leg when he was injured, I don't hold much hope that he'll keep himself fit.
