Is left back really a problem?

[remember arthur mann]

He might be a twat but he's a great player - Night and day compared to Mendy

But not the Zinch !!

There must be a decent left back in the academy

Believe not. Think we were playing Bernabe there last season and he’s joined Parma.

There is Larios from Spain he played against Liverpool U23 this weekend.
Problem is he is only 17

We’ve got 2 left footed centre backs that need games that are head and shoulders above mendy. Zinch backed up by those two and cancelo should be enough for this year. Mendy will never be good enough I’m afraid to finally have to admit. Id give him a free or loan and just write him off

I take your point, but, City were playing away and did have Walker and Zinchenko on the bench. It’s not worked in the past with Mendy-Sterling down the left. Even with Grealish holding the ball, playing it simple or actually taking opposition players on. Mendy is a liability; position wise-shocking, possession-never has it long enough to be any use, tackling-useless, first touch-embarrassing and communication...? Haven’t a clue. In my opinion, City have and will never be any threat with Mendy-Sterling-Marhez in the side at the same time. It’s been proved three times before but it keeps happening. Mendy should have gone in the summer and a utility player been brought in to fill the league and cup games for rests and injuries. I’m baffled but not surprised he’s picked, and after the Community Shield farce, he‘ll be in the side for the next game.

I'd go even further....Cancelo added to the players you have mentioned

Yes, close thread

How was this thread only started in June 2020? Where are Volumes 1-5?

We regularly take the piss out of chippy tits Shaw but he's 10X the LB Mendy is.

We revisit this after every loss
