Nampalys Mendy

[Tuna]

I thought he had an excellent game today and looks like the player we thought we signed in 2016.

 

Together with Wilf we look like we have a good midfield partnership moving forwards.

 

 

[Tielemans63]

Mendy and Wilf were excellent today. They were brilliant at snuffing out Liverpool's counter attacks. Shame that we were a bit of a mess up front.

Class performance once again

[Charl91]

Very impressed with him.  I thought he was very Kante-esque that game. 

 

Probably our best midfielder at the moment.

[STUHILL]

He is always on the move. Passes and then moves into space to receive the ball again. A really impressive performance from the little guy!

 

Wilf was Wilf, an absolute monster in breaking up the play but also a little careless with his passing again.

 

The two of them looked excellent overall though. So happy that Mendy has improved drastically, as Silva really is struggling to show his quality in this league.

 

Thought we bossed the midfield with these two and that's against 1st/2nd best team in the league! Very impressed.

Two fine players and with madders we have a strong midfield... just need Vardy back now, he would have loved to be on to take some of the chances we made today

[Izzy]

Phone the Nom Police. We was robbed

[Stadt]

He was one of our better performers but that doesn’t say too much.

Why, there were a lot of good performances today ... I’m not sure if people expect us to be Barca or real

Honestly, he is a superb player. Him and Wilf are a big reason we nulified Liverpool for 60-70 minutes after their first goal. He can tackle and he can pass, my kind of CDM. 

 

Credit to Puel for bringing him back and giving him a new lease of life.

I am really pleased for him @Tuna

 

plenty were writing him off and he is obviously a decent enough player now injury free etc

 

up the Foxes

[StriderHiryu]

He was brilliant today and a song is needed for him stat! I was surprised how many tackles he made despite his size and his passing and decision making is very good indeed. I feel one of his biggest strengths is that he has improved Ndidi who no longer has to always be worried about the turnover which has allowed him to get more involved in the game. As a result offensively Ndidi actually contributed decently today in bringing us forward and spreading the play. 

 

There are many promising signs with the team right now. Remember this whole setup is quite different to last season and it takes time to understand how each player fits into the team and to get on the same wavelength. Mendy is clearly going to be a big influence in that improvement, his distribution and recycling is very good and he even dribbled past some opponents today. 

 

He must be the biggest surprise of all and honestly he’s been both great individually and as a team player. Well done Papy

What a ****ing hero 

[smitha]

No one mentioned him at the start of the season, but for me he has now jumped ahead of Silva and Iborra, like a new signing all credit must go to him well done.??

[Spicer]

They are good at breaking up attacks and both had good games. However neither are great on the ball. I think we should be playing both Iborra and Silva with either Mendy or Ndidi

[Osavo]

Surprised with his passing ability, actually. Very composed on the ball and him and Wilf look a great partnership. Like having a new signing.

[Fox92]

Been impressed with him so far this season tbh.

[Samilktray]

I like him a lot 

[lifted*fox]

yep, very impressed with him today

[Livid]

I think we have central midfield sorted. 

[Frost]

Quality today - was everywhere.

 

Same can't be said for some of the fans sat around me - one bloke genuinely said 'get Mendy off for Iborra.'

 

[iamafox]

I'm guessing he's already gained more minutes on the pitch for us this season than the last two combined?

Lets be honest, some people really don't see or understand what is happening on the pitch. They enter into the game with preconceived perceptions about certain players & really can't follow the intricacies of the game.

Also strange is that this group is usually the most vocal.

[UPinCarolina]

Remember when everyone wanted to see him banished from the club?
