For me, it's his lack of defensive ability - he frequently fails to stop crosses on D, and is out-of-position at times given his attacking instincts (but mostly recovers due to pace when this happens).

His greatest assets are pace (not sure if he still has this following multiple injuries) and his whipped crosses into the box (he's starting to get back into form in this regard).

I'd like to see a full season with a fit Mendy before making up my mind for sure.

Ideal for low block teams but still unsure about him against stronger teams especially in Europe.
 
He is a great lad trust me. Down to earth. He was unplayable before injury and the signs are really positive. It will take him time but his football and personal friendship with Foden shines through. They are telepathic. He defends well when told to like at Liverpool last season.
 
@benmendy23: “The first time I knew I wanted to join City was when I played against them with Monaco. We came to the Etihad - we lost, but the atmosphere was on fire. I was talking with Kevin [De Bruyne] after the game and I told him I wanted to join Man City..."

“I didn’t know him, and we had lost the game, but I was so happy with the atmosphere and everything! At the end of the season Bernardo Silva sent me a picture with a Man City shirt and I said I’d like to come too.” [via @ManCity]

“The first time I met Riyad we had just finished a training session for Le Havre. One guy [Riyad] comes in late because he’d missed his train. It was like two hours late; all the people were stretching, and this skinny boy arrives..."

“The manager says run and he races around. Everyone says ‘what are you doing? Why do you run so fast?’ He said, ‘I was late, I'm not here for fun, I'm here to be serious.’ We see him on the pitch and it's score, score, score. He’s a good guy.”
 
Looking sharp today. Every low cross is finding it's target and leading to something dangerous. I think he's back for real this time. A lot better than Chilwell today, who we were supposed to replace Mendy with.
 
He's making certain people in this thread look stupid every week now.

Look forward to the "he's done" "he can't defend" "he's got the touch of a donkey" comments next time he has a slightly off game.
 
I'd like to think that Angelino starting over him for Liverpool pushed him to get back to his best faster. He isn't there, but he's really close and glad we stuck it out with him.

So no more we need a LB, we have 3! Would be a stupendous waste of money.
