Is left back really a problem?

Benj was fantastic yesterday. Shame that some of our players seem to have given up on believing in his crosses, countless times now he’s fizzed some awesome balls across the face of goal and all our forwards are on their heels. Jesus particularly.

Yep, not sure how many times he needs to ping a perfect cross in for players to think they should start getting in the 6yrd box!

Agreed, maybe Jesus and others have to get used to that surprising development ;)

Like many others Mendy has shown a lot of couragein their performance last night.
Definetely good to see he trusts his body and then we immediately see what's in him!

If Mendy can keep playing like he did last night... Wonderful. Very important last few games of the season for him.

Domagoj Bradaric of Lille looks a really good prosepct at 20. If both Angelino and Zinch are goners, then we should really have a punt on a young energetic LB to give Mendy Competition.

For me, Mendy should not have competition, he should be the competition against whoever we bring in.

I reckon Ake will play LB alot so doubt we'll buy a LB

I'll certainly feel more secure with him there than anyone we currently have on the books

Mendy doesn’t just need competition - he needs someone to cover his lack of availability given his poor injury record. No way you go into a season without a second specialist LB.

No and the reason being our defence and midfield will be a lot stronger.For me angelino would be perfect the way he plays.

We disagree then. Mendy is not that good a defender imo and his attacking threat was somewhat wayward the last few games he played.
