Benjamin Mendy - 2019/20 Performances

Has had such a bad time with injury since signing, so hopefully he is fully recovered and able to show why Pep was keen to bring him in.
 
Guardiola on Mendy: “The first step is to play consistently and not get injured. It was weeks and weeks and months of training. We did it the last month, which is a good sign, and then, he played his first minutes”

“Now he [Mendy] will play more regularly but he has to understand what we have to do because he went two seasons without training or playing regularly”

"With Zinchenko, we can't attack as we’d like. His quality is completely different. With Mendy, we can do that, and hopefully, he can be fit, healthy and play."

Sounds like Mendy is 100% first choice as soon as he's match fit then.
 
His performance today shouldnt threaten Zinchenko - he was awful and gave the ball away in dangerous positions at least 4 times.

some will put it down to rustiness which it could be but ive seen that type of wayward passing from him a number of times before ..like Pep said, he will need to learn the way we play...Angelino was much better than him when he came on (and Angelino was awful in pre season)....

He also needs to know that he doesnt have to hit every cross as had as he can!!
 
He was alright. Obviously rusty.

3 big pluses though:

1) There were moments of really promising incisive passing. His technique when he gets it right is something else.
2) He was disciplined. He held his position well without consistently bombing on and didn't cross it/play a throughball at every opportunity.
3) He lasted 45 minutes.
