Benjamin Mendy (Back In Training)

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

He is doing his thinking on social media and taking that to the pitch,calm down and use his head is what he needs to do,he is a really good player but needs to calm down all round IMO

I don't understand how you can make the logical jump from seeing how he acts on social media to how he behaves before and during a game though?
Unless you have seen him mentally prepare for a game then I don't see how the two are connected

Too many on this thread

 

[SWP's back]

How does Mendy having a bit of a laugh on Twitter cause him to have a significant injury?

It doesn't.

 

[wolfie1988]

It was a daft tackle but we have players who have made a shit ton more daft tackles this season than Mendy has. To blame it on him being not focused is a load of bollocks

 

[The Riot Club]

Hopefully nothing too serious, gutted for him, he'd started so well too.

Delphi can kind of cover defensively but he offers nothing Mendy does going forward. Maybe Danilo, he's better on the right of course but it's a bit early to say after one game at left back that he just can't play there.

Definitely need cover in January, a loan signing or splash the cash on someone like Bertrand perhaps?

Fingers crossed Mendy is ok!

 

[taconinja]

It may or not be bollocks but it is what it is
Do you think he was right to make the tackle?

There's no correlation or causation, though, between the two items you're relating. Theoretically, his social media behavior could be indicative of on-pitch behavior, but frankly there's only supposition and not anything approaching evidence.

Danillo looks a top player but at lb he hasn't looked convincing..delph God knows if he's a suitable replacement,delps injury record must be one of the worst at the club also...going in to the season with one recongnised left back was stupid,let's hope the injurys not too serious

Poor planning is our undoing again,danny is a great players but doesn't look to great as LB,he might get better with some more practice
Lets hope benny's injury is just a tweek

 

[PhillyBlue]

It was incredibly needless and also reckless in the way he had his body positioned.
Why not just push the guy?

Correct!!! Not sure why he did that...

 

[taconinja]

Danilo will defend fine but it's the crossing ability in dangerous areas where we'll be hit badly.

Absolutely agree. That's why I think we'll potentially see a formation shift.

 

[BLUEMATT23]

The fact that he has been flown to Barcelona suggests he doesn't look good and we will see him again any time soon.
