Disappointing for sure. When i saw him play against us for Monaco, i thought he was a top player. Bad luck with injuries but his joking and fucking about is getting on my nerves now. He needs to treat his career a bit more seriously. Reminds me of Micah Richards, in fact they could be brothers. He could have been a lot better than he was, Mendy is going the same wayIs Mendy ever going to play for us? I mean, what is actually happening with this lad?
Agree with that, life's one big joke to him it seems and he's given us nothing yet except for some funny social media messages. I think Pep's patience is wearing very thin with him, so expect another left back coming in this summer.Disappointing for sure.

None of us, I hope, are blaming him for his injuries. It's unfortunate, but that happens. What I think is getting on everyone's tits — and, I strongly suspect, Pep's first and foremost — is that he doesn't seem to be hurting about it. He goes on to the Wembley pitch, larking around with his mate Bernardo, and you just think to yourself “Wait a minute, lad, don't you want to be out there, doing the actual business?” It's been nearly two seasons, now. Kev has had bad luck with injuries this season, but you get the distinct impression that it's eating away at him. As it should do. I always think of top level footballers as like thoroughbred racehorses, basically (no reflection on their intelligence, obviously, that's not the question). They are born to race. They want to be first out of those traps. That's how it should be. Is it that way with Ben?
This has all been somewhat off topic.
Watford: it's simple, really. If we cannot beat them at this stage of the season, at home, then we probably don't have what it takes to be champions. But we do have what it takes to be champions, we know that.
2-0, I believe. But any kind of three points is fine by me.
One other thing. Strictly as a fan, I absolutely love the two-match-a-week thing. I can't see enough of this team, and I've been getting something akin to cold turkey this week. Really.
But it's good for the lads to have had a full week's rest. But that's my superego talking. Me being reasonable, adult and all that guff. My id says something else.
Lost me with that one? Mind you I am a bit senileNot forgetting the Joan Gampier trophy either. ;-)
Regards Mendy, think you need to watch ‘all it nothing’. It’s pretty visible how devastated he is.
The love from his team mates and manager show how hard he’s actually trying and how hard it must be for him.
No, he’s not sulking, he’s doing as he sees best to help his team.
I’ve not heard any player or Pep for that matter have any issue with him.
Even when the lad plays, he’s not given fair crack of the whip. He started the season excellently, clean sheets away at Spurs, Liverpool & Arsenal. Plus 5 assists.
Yet, he couldn’t defend apparently..
Me too mate, makes the midweek more bearable when City are in action. Just wait another couple of weeks until the shitty international break comes again FFS.None of us, I hope, are blaming him for his injuries. It's unfortunate, but that happens.

The one when we beat Barca in the Nou Camp in 2009.Lost me with that one? Mind you I am a bit senile
What are we on, 16 wins from 17 games? I'd worry the international break could disrupt our rhythm.
But it's good for the lads, it's good for the lads, it's good for the lads… (keep repeating)
I don't like it when there's no poll. It is inviting trouble.
Yep, hopefully @TINY can try to redress the balance by stating his prediction on the thread itself.I don't like it when there's no poll. It is inviting trouble.
Nah, that's water off a duck's back. I'm going to state here and now, if there's no poll we lose this and worsleyweb will be to blame.It's inviting trouble when there is one. People get upset if they deem a vote to be the wrong way.
