Some good stuff and some bad stuff. A mixed bag really. Didnt expect him to outpace Traore but was surprised when Neto completely blew past him. I'm still not convinced by him.

Much fitter than last night if he doesn't get injuries.

Any player is going to look slow next to Traore. I didn’t think he was too bad, and given his injury history and the fact he hasn’t played in a month, there’s still many positive signs. I hope that he can string through 10-15 straight games and then I think we’ll start to see the Mendy that we saw at Monaco.
He still only played 19 PL games last year...

This Traore fella sounds so good that I don’t understand why we’re piss-arsing about with Messi.
One of the best around at taking on and beating his man, end product still leaves a lot to be desired.

There are few finer sights in football than a tricky winger skinning a poor, helpless full-back - and Arsenal, PSG and Crystal Palace men are among the best in Europe at doing so.

I hope Mendy improves especially offensively. I think he is decent enough defensively, and poor on cohesion or chemistry. But he needs to be putting in 4-5 crosses per game and loading the left flank to be worth the negatives of his cumbersome passing in transition.
I'd he isn't going to be a be able to regain his attacking form, then an addition is sourly required.

His contact with the ball is so inconsistent. He’s fully capable of firm, crisp, accurate passes and crosses pinged into people, but half the time the ball seems to strike him off the ankle or balloon up out of control.
