It is okay to criticise players who we think weren’t playing well surely? His lack of pace was mentioned which funnily enough is quite important in our system and how high we play. His ability is there but physically he’s a shadow of his former self

I thought they were all well up to speed first half but all visibly tired second half.
True he hasn’t got Walker’s speed to get him out of trouble but his wing was targeted and he didn’t get any cover for about 15 minutes.
We then proceeded to double up when they came down the right and it sorted a lot of the trouble out.

We do need cover for him though. He will get injured again. It’s inevitable if he’s overplayed.

Taglifico would be a good signing, But Mendy looked very good in the first half maybe a lack of pre season is why he gassed out in the 2nd half and the yellow

Tagliafico was quoted to Leicester for £40m. Doubt we spend that much on a backup to Mendy.

No way.

His first ever vivid dream he recalled and wrote down in his diary as a literary prodigy (aged 6) was to join Liverpool, wear a red kit, holiday annually in Istanbul in May each year, gaze out over Stanley Park and sign off every insta message with “#YNWA”.

His first word was “gissajob” followed quickly by some Shank’s quotes. His high school thesis presented on speech day was “post-Thatcher 1980’s L’pool and the red, Anfield takeover of the English sporting media”

It's stupid to think players aren't playing well when they're in the middle of putting in an absolutely heroic shift for the team, playing at a massive fitness disadvantage for 90 minutes because we've got no one else, against the oppositions best player, and a job made 10x harder by the referee shafting him with a terrible decision.

Yes, getting skinned by Traore, and he couldn't dive in or get tight and make tackles, that doesn't mean he was playing badly. Playing badly would be doing what Zinchenko or Delph would have done in that situation - gotten sent off and left us a man down.

I think Nuno did well to isolate Adama against Mendy for much/periods of that second half. You could see Pep had spoken with Sterling and Dinho (after the 5-10 minute spell) to shift when the ball came over that side. Which worked as they allowed Mendy then to get a breather, but also add protection. As soon as Mendy is on a yellow and being run at by Traore it’s very difficult to know what to do without having that impending if I get this wrong I’m off thought. I felt Wolves players were on to the ref last night too any foul and they were after cards. Great win against a good side. Glad it’s out of the way. Very happy with a lot of things but as much as I’m cautious of ridiculing players I’m going to do the same with praising them, a lot were brilliant last night and I’m hoping for more again. With such a depleted squad too. Essay over.

Mendy isn't going to come up with someone as quick as Adama every week, Mendy isn't slow. Adama would make any left back in the world look slow.
Mendy needed cover as well from his team mates with 2 v 1 against Adama and didn't get it.

and that was why pep had a go at raheem and eventually subbed him, raheem didnt look too happy, but pep had asked him to do a job to help the team and raheem fell short, maybe because he was knackered too.

mendy is the usual whipping boy,some people are sheep
