What he lacks defensively I do feel he makes up for in our approach / attacking play. But yes, the sooner we cut our Mendy losses and bring in another LB the better. In the meantime we have Laporte and Ake who are both better than Benjamin.
We really should move heaven and earth to get Mendy out and replaced with a proper left back who can play wing back. There will be times we should play 3 at the back (Chelsea one of them), problem is we don’t have a left wing back.
Mendy before his injuries would have been perfect. Zinchenko isn’t quite quick or athletic enough for that role. Cancelo has to cut in all the time. A proper left back would give us much more tactical flexibility.
