Benjamin Mendy - 2019/20 Performances

Accept it hasn’t worked out and moved on. Can’t afford to keep spending huge amounts of money and carrying these crap defenders. Next defender purchases have to be spot on

He can't be moved on because no team would want him. I hope we don't go down the route of spending a ridiculous sum on a fullback.

Yesterday he had one job, don't show Pepe his stronger foot and push him wide. Literally every defender in the league knows this by now. Mendy allows him time and space to make a simple cross with no pressure. Terrible, terrible player.

The guy doesn't have a footballing brain.

I'm hopeful as he regains fitness and with increasing game time he will grow in confidence

 

[Ribchester]

I’m fearful that he regains match fitness and is given even more game time

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

He’s a wee character.

I would not shed a tear if he was moved on in the summer. He has never looked the same player after those knee injuries and his concentration levels are somewhat lacking to be a top-class defender.

The role of full backs has changed in recent years with most top managers/coach's looking at the offensive side of a fb's game eg Robertson and TAA. When we bought Mendy he was widely regarded as one of the best attacking lb's in Europe. Unfortunately, injuries have taken their toll and attacking wise whilst he is a decent player his defensive defiencies are apparent. Personally, I would keep Mendy but buy a new LB who can offer proper competition and not rely on Zinchenko.

Should we blame Mendy for being unable to simply mark Aubameyang? He failed the offside trap but Walker criminally gave away both their goals because he was sleeping. Mendy wasn’t the reason why we lost yesterday.

this guy is a complete liability. I honestly think you'd struggle to find a more one footed, awkward, immobile, defensively hopeless full back in the league.
