He was very good when he came on; put two or three laser-guided crosses in to the box (one completely squandered by Jesus, unfortunately) and nearly had a worldie goal form outside the box.
Looking forward to seeing how he gets on next season and hoping he doesn’t play in the WC. ;-)
Funny if you see the my post at the very beginning of this thread, my comment still holds true today. I was baffled by some of his crosses really. Brahim seems surprised too, otherwise I'm 100% sure he would've smashed it with his left foot and not his right since he's pretty much ambidextrous.There's something magical in his left leg. I think you could put together a compilation of his crosses in the 3 game since returning from injury and it'd be better than most fullbacks manage in a season.
Get the impression Pep doesn't want him to play at the WC given he wasn't even in the squad yesterday. If he is fit, then surely he'd be on the bench as a minimum and they'd have had some sort of agreement to give him as many minutes as possible to give him the best chance to make the squad. From a selfish perspective, I hope he doesn't go and gets a full pre-season with City under his belt learning Pep's methods before being 100% fit for August.
Mendy has publicly stated that he's '100% ready and wants go to a WC'. Which looks a bit irresponsible on his part as there's a certain probability of a relapse at this stage. Getting subbed on in a low-intensity games is fine, taking part in a competitive matches of the highest level is entirely different thing.He was very quiet on Social Media yesterday which is very unlike him.

Wouldn't be surprised if Pep gave him a bollocking and told something like 'you're not going to WC, want it or not.'

Pep wouldn't be that silly. Do you know what the world cup means for a player?Mendy has publicly stated that he's '100% ready and wants go to a WC'.

And he is 100% healthy. He might not be fit yet. But he sure is healthy.
I hope he makes the squad and fulfils one if his dreams

Conversely, just think about how much fitter and ready to go he will be at the start of next season after spending weeks at the world cupGet the impression Pep doesn't want him to play at the WC given he wasn't even in the squad yesterday.
