#22 | Benjamin Mendy - 2020/21 Performances

[bert38]

Fine when the ball's in front of him, but out of possession he can no longer move his body to get near the opposition. Injuries have clearly ruined him-but if you judge him on today, then he was pathetic.

Simply awful.

Too inconsitent but there is no need for the abuse

I agree there should be no abuse but looking at it constructively I honestly can't think of many worse fullbacks in 50 years of watching City. The ones that spring to mind are Tony Vaughan and Lee Crooks but that was in the third division. It is amazing that he is still playing for any PL team after his injury. For example, I have never seen any our players consistently blast crosses out for throw-ins as much as he does.

This man is stealing a living

That's not the issue.

Physically Zinchenko is not superior to Mendy.

The problem is Mendy is making bad decision in defending, Zinchenko is simply smarter.

Sorry but that's ridiculous. Zinchenko is an established international footballer and Captain of Ukraine where he plays in central midfield. You can't compare Zinchenko with Mendy. Mendy is technically very poor and he can only play with one foot.

Wtf are you talking about?

I'm comparing Zinchenko and Mendy because they are our LBs lol, obviously we can compare them.

I only talking about their physical attributes because the poster mentioned Mendy's knees and said physicallity is not an excuse for Mendy.

Please make sure you read who I'm replying to before making comments yourself.

 

[Hesperus]

Has to go.

 

[ExWythenshaweBlue]

Awful defender and gives us next to nothing going forward. Add to that the fact that he cannot recover when someone goes past him. In other words not good enough and time to cash in if we can.

Ok fair comment. Mendy had fantastic pace but the injury killed him. It is a mystery that he is still anywhere near the squad. I felt sorry for Ake today having to do two players' work.

Out. Must sell
