Superpants82 Posted 18 August 2018 Posted 18 August 2018 Just seen someone post on twitter saying that Ndidi is the leagues best midfielder? Not being funny but I've thought for a long time he's overrated and I'm so glad Mendy came in and did that. Kept it simple when passing, put the tackles in and has got an eye for a forward pass, very Kante esq. Promising very promising
Guest Kopfkino Posted 18 August 2018 Posted 18 August 2018 He looked good today, looks like the player we wanted after Kante left (obviously not on the same level). Think him and Ndidi were great together second half. Hopefully he gets a run of games without an injury and can keep it up.
Mark Posted 18 August 2018 Posted 18 August 2018 He was just ok, I’d have concerns playing him against the better sides
LCCFox96 Posted 18 August 2018 Posted 18 August 2018 Had a good game today and certainly grew into it. Hopefully this helps him really get going at Leicester after his initial struggles.
lgfualol Posted 18 August 2018 Posted 18 August 2018 Did not look like the Leicester reject most of us thought he was. Kudos to Mendy and Puel for picking him.
foxfanazer Posted 18 August 2018 Posted 18 August 2018 Good decision to play him did well. Thought Ndidi was the real star though
tsintskaro Posted 18 August 2018 Posted 18 August 2018 ya Ndidi was fcking beast,Mendy was fine He did one very stupid challenge tho,2 weird passes as well but still Mendy>Silva>iborra
Tuna Posted 18 August 2018 Posted 18 August 2018 Did well today pleased for him. Bold move by Claude that worked.
Clever Fox Posted 18 August 2018 Posted 18 August 2018 Mendy done well today, He just needs to get up to Premiership pace. I thought the game was a bit quick for him at times. But he will improve more with more games. Hopefully he stays fit. A good foil for NDiddy who although played well needs to improve his passing greatly. If he wan't to step up to the next level.
Farrington fox Posted 18 August 2018 Posted 18 August 2018 Shouldn't get too carried away, it's one game, but what a great performance today. Really hope he can stay injury free and kick on now. How old is he ?
whoareyaaa Posted 18 August 2018 Posted 18 August 2018 looks composed on the ball and can pick a pass, seems to get around the pitch well and had a solid game, made a few errors but the whole team was liable to that today. Him and Nididi worked well I thought
srbfox Posted 18 August 2018 Posted 18 August 2018 So do we think Mendy is going to be first choice every week (I haven't had the chance to follow the pre season as much as I had hoped so not too sure about him yet). Didnt make ale it to the game today either. , so if anyone can answer my questions about this player that would be great. Is he our best option alongside N'Didi? Will he perform constantly? Can he pass? Not just side to side, but quality chance creating passes. Does he have potential and ability to move to a "big six" side, or is he at his level? Cheers guys, I would do my homework a bit more on this lad but life just gets in the way

Cheers guys, I would do my homework a bit more on this lad but life just gets in the way I’d say Mendy’s performance today is better than anything i’ve seen from Silva/Iborra but that’s just my opinion. Probably forgetting some Iborra performances to be fair, but overall Mendy looked solid.

Statman Dave for example is a United fan
adamkhalifa Posted 18 August 2018 Posted 18 August 2018 His style of play suits the way play at the moment. Not surprised he had a decent game. Would like him to lose some mass, and get a little leaner though.

Jaspa Posted 18 August 2018 Posted 18 August 2018 Lads got a resolute attitude, sat on the sides for about two years through injury, went out on loan, looked like it was over for him here and he rolls back into contention and shows all of his best attributes. Composed with the ball, controlled our tempo, sprayed passes around and a couple of last ditch, perfectly times tackles. Very happy for him, should be a boost to Silva & Iborra having more competition to get starts.
DerbyshireFox Posted 18 August 2018 Posted 18 August 2018 Thought as a pairing today they were very good. Mendy looks like he’s got something to offer after two tough seasons for him
Guest Col city fan Posted 18 August 2018 Posted 18 August 2018 He just looked to be back to full fitness. First half he was everywhere.
egg_fried_rice Posted 18 August 2018 Posted 18 August 2018 The place next to N'didi is his to lose now.
