#22 | Benjamin Mendy - 2020/21 Performances

[mancityscot]

he just looks so awkward on the ball. i genuinely cant think of one redeeming aspect to his game. Was supposed to be his powerful runs and crosses but thats been non existent!

Every so often he finds a bit of the old magic and puts in a good cross, did he put in one for Delap that he hit the crossbar with?

But otherwise his body is just finished it seems, he looks incredibly stiff and awkward as you say. At Monaco he looked so fluid and loose, he was bombing up the wings and was burning through the pitch at both ends. I guess its what happens when you have such serious knee injuries.

I feel sorry for him I really do.

It makes me feel ill when I think about Clichy costing us £7m and Mendy costing £52m. Mendy isn't fit to lace Clichy's boots.

He was a waste of money when injuries made him lose his pace. His pace and power was what we got drawn to and invested in. After injuries he just isn't the player we signed. Thats just the sad truth.

 

[ExWythenshaweBlue]

He can't run and can't defend, not a good combination. Even his crossing is piss poor 99% of the time now. We urgently need a replacement. Even someone who is quick but can't defend would be some sort of improvement.

Cancelo maybe

 

[cityboy1]

Cancelo maybe

Cancelo isn't great defensivley on the left and isnt great crossing on his left foot we should be looking to get an actual leftback instead of trying to make a right back into one.

 

[ballinio]

There’s the fucking door

Thats what angelino was basically

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Love the guy for being a bit of a nutter but when it comes to football I just don't know what he brings. Intelligence? Physicality? Pace? Aerial ability? Technical ability? Intimidation?

On the pitch, he ticks absolutely zero boxes.

 

[purplenose]

Because he is a character and having had those injuries you just cannot help but want him to succeed. Its just not going to happen sadly.

 

[cookster]

Yep, he’s doing more for the opposition than us. He slows down our attacks, makes the wrong choice 9 out of 10 and can’t defend.

Dynamite on Insta though. Our very own Paul Pogba.

He also cost more than Robertson, Digne and Tierney combined!

Disgusting. We wouldn't get £20m for him now.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Disgusting. We wouldn't get £20m for him now.

I don’t think any club would take a risk on him without the deal being a heavily subsided one. We are stuck with him.

 

[Brightwell’s left peg]

Got to concentrate on the positives I guess.

;-)

Just take the hit and loan him out till his deal expires. Hes not good enough even as back up.

He'll be fine, he always has social media.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Shocking truth vs LCFC was being THAT slow.
Any opponent will attack that weakness.
No option vs strong sides.

That simply means he shouldn't leave our half at all anymore. Just stay back, defend and pass.

If we can't move him out (contract til 2023)
he should at least be able to take workload vs weaker sides.

Cancelo is my 1st LB now until a new LB comes in.

 

[MaineDAWG2008]

We need another left back who's gonna kick Mendy up the ass and push him for a starting spot.

No more shark tale bollocks. Shark team etc etc. Enough...

Want him to perform at least 10 games consistent. Is that too much to ask for?

No one has forgotten that mistake against Chelsea. what a shit show.
