Interesting that he didn’t bomb forward as much today. It seems Pep has decided that Sane is going to play and he needs to find a way for he and Mendy to play together. He did today. Very solid performance.
 
Very composed game. Made forward runs when he had to, defended well, provided midfield support in some instances. It was a very good performance.
 
He was playing at centre midfield for periods of the game yesterday.

Whilst he does worry me defensively, I think his football intelligence is understated.

Hopefully he can stay fit because he offers another dimension to our side.
 
i dont rate him yet, got work to do. I'm sure this will keep him awake at night when he reads this.

To be fair, if you are going to write something that you know might fan the flames somewhat, you could at least provide some reasoning to your opinion.

Because who knows, maybe you're in the right on this one. Probably not, but we won't know either way until you expand on your point.

I thought that the second sentence (about Mendy reading it) might have been his point - that Mendy spends too much time on social media?

If it is, then it isn't really a criticism of his play, to be fair.

good point.

i dont think he looks too certain on the ball, but I am hoping this is cured by time and games. I think his general level of passing is no better than Zinchenko's. His positioning is a bit average, he is somewhat rescued by amazing athleticism. His crossing is very strong and movement has been pretty good. I am hoping all of my doubts are just a case of game time and development.

I think Zee is a far bettee passer. I think Mendy's position is better than he gets credit for. Everything else you've said I find no objections with. :)
 
He is a very good passer of the ball and obviously a superb crosser too. He also has a great athleticism. He seems a little more serious in the last few weeks and that is a good thing in my eyes.
