Benjamin Mendy - 2019/20 Performances

[big gaz]

Was he out with a serious knee injury or an eye injury? There’s something wrong with his vision. It feels like every attack from the opposition starts with a Mendy misplaced pass.

Cheers, I was going to make that sarcy comment ;-)

He has been better of late an looks to be getting some form back, no coincidence that this is happening as he is getting a run of fitness,

Apart from 1 sloppy pass I thought he was OK today. When on form he is still our best LB.

Better than recently but still too many sloppy passes.

If it's anything like what Guardiola initially wanted with Stones, I would suspect he's encouraging Mendy to play these riskier passes inside. To play with balls.

He needs to better, of course, but he has to work through the sloppiness to get rid of the rust. If he's still like this at the end of the season with no signs of improvement after a whole batch of games under his belt then it'd be a much bigger concern.

Still scared of getting injured for me but it will take time for him to get confidence that he is fully over the injury.

Slowly getting better.

Confidence is a huge thing (said it in the Raheem thread n’all). If he’s not confident in his body it’ll affect his game. He’s picked up a lot of injuries and psychologically that can be huge.

Once that comes back he’ll be a decent player for us.

Looked good yesterday. Just the sort of game he needed

 

[Gray]

He's definitely sloppy at times. But that doesn't mean he had a bad game (I know you didn't say that).

Given that he's a defender and he defended well in a team that's had defensive issues it should be enough to warrant praise.

I got slated in the post match thread for saying he gives me the shits. It is precisely the sloppy passing he does at random intervals that causes me this concern, I want him to do well but I am sorry he worries me.

I hope that this has not been posted before?
