It was Fulham ffs. If he was anywhere near the 11 for a champions league game I'd have to watch from 1behind the sofa
I'm not saying he is the long term answer as his previous very much suggests different.....but,to not afford him the base on which to build,Fulham or otherwise.....is a bit unfair.
He did some ok stuff yesterday and wasn't anywhere near as bad as some are claiming,or even wishing he was.

He wasn't too bad mate I sgree but he can't seem to tackle properly, always goes in with the wrong foot and is easily beaten, also his concentration seems lacking and as for his crossing he puts far too much on them and what would be a tap in flies out for a throw. If he learned from his errors I would be more forgiving, but I think his time is up here

I wont disagree,he has plenty to improve on.

A lot of people seem to really enjoy having someone in the squad they can attack.

Yesterday I left the match day thread because Laporte put a pass out of play 10 yards behind Mendy and the reaction of half a dozen posters was to blame Mendy, and it was one of those moment when your realise people aren't there to watch the game, just to get angry together and attack anyone to dissipate some in-game nerves..

He was fine yesterday, nothing special, looked like a player starting his first league game since December. No shit his touch was a bit rusty, KDB has looked rusty and he was put of the side for 1/4 of the time.

There were a few moments when he defender really quite well, and there were a few times when he made some really good runs in behind where he wasnt played in and he should have been.

I thought the formation was interesting enough to see again, and hopefully Mendy is part of that too.

I dont think any fan enjoys sticking the boot in,id hope not anyway,but there will always be players who attract negativity for a variety of reason.

You make a good assessment and pretty much how i saw his contribution.His skillset is unique to our squad and he really would be an asset if he can build on that performance.

He has one foot out of the exit presently,but there is only one person who can properly determine his future......himself.

I want to see if hes up for it.
 
Stones is proof that it can be done. I wonder if Mendy will show the same resilience and commitment to turn his City career around?

I want Mendy to succeed, however, Stones hasn't suffered the same awful injuries.

Whilst Stones is a great example of how someone can turn around their fortunes, I do believe the comparisons are unrealistic.

As an aside, I thought Mendy was okay the other night against Fulham. He got better as the game went on, felt.
 
I thought he was fine yesterday, considering he hasn't featured in months. Not easy to come into the side like that.

That being said I don't think he can "turn it around" so to speak. Injuries have robbed him of what made him special. He is what he is at this point. Which is a decent footballer, but not at the level we'd need him to be.

He still has a future in top flight football I just don't think it's meant to be with City.
