Delph is better defensively than Mendy, he adds better babalnce, for me Mendy is more of a winger the way we play, maybe Pep should try that if Sane isn’t available.

He's a more intelligent footballer than I thought he was at Villa, top class today both defensively and going forward.
He’s already England’s best left backIncredible to think he was halfway out the door to Stoke last summer.
He's massively underrated outside our fan base.
Hed be England's best central midfielder of they played him there.

Fair play to him for staying and managing to get in our starting eleven regularly, albeit through Mendys injury.

He played well today, and as others have said, we look better balanced with him in our preffered set up. I think there will be games which suit Fabian, and games which suit Mendy, today was definitely a Fabian game.
Having said all that, it was an odd switch when Fabian came off, pulling Walker over to the left, we did look a bit unbalanced then!

We're unquestionably a much better defensive unit with Delphy in the side and arguably far more balanced.
The fact he can play as an inverted fullback also helps, he adds so much more than Mendy in terms of playing through the opponents press.

The lad has been fantastic for City, I would be surprised if Pep had any intention of letting him go elsewhere any time soon.
I would guess he is one of those players who the staff would say is a joy to work with and a very top draw professional sportsman.

I want to get behind mendy as he's exciting going forward but Delph is just amazing and in truth he hasnt done anything wrong to warrant being dropped this season
Real classy professional and deffo need him against the better teams as he's better defensively than Mendy

Don't bring that up I still feel guilty as fuck; I remember saying what a great price we were getting for someone who was struggling with injuries.
Now he walks into my starting 11.
