Suffolk exile Posted 5 January 2020 Posted 5 January 2020 I really feel for him. He is so unlucky to have Hamza, Wilf etc. Ahead of him. Definitely good enough.
MrsJohnMurphy Posted 11 January 2020 Posted 11 January 2020 For me he would have been a better option today playing against the high press, always keeps it tidy, always makes himself available for the pass and rarely gives it away Is he our go to man with Ndidi out for so long?
Guest An Sionnach Posted 11 January 2020 Posted 11 January 2020 He and Hamza should play together while Wilf recovers and Tielemans takes a break.

Well you’re going to see him in the Burnley game or West Ham .....

Neither of them are great progressive passers of the ball. I fear that if you play both alongside each other then they wouldn't be able to find Maddison and the players in front of them much. Mendy is more like a holding midfielder compared to Choudhury though, who presses a lot. So he may be more suited to Ndidi's solo holding midfielder role than Hamza is.

Personally I think Hamza can contribute creatively as well.
Lambert09 Posted 19 January 2020 Posted 19 January 2020 I truly hope thats his last game for us. He is just Puel as a player!

sdb Posted 19 January 2020 Posted 19 January 2020 He was absolutely fine. 7/10 as always. Other players were below par today, not Papy.
Dr The Singh Posted 19 January 2020 Posted 19 January 2020 He did ok, made no real impact to the game, no real great tackles or Interceptions or passes. Acceptable 3rd choice. For a team wanting to be atleast 4th, he probably is not good enough
Meat and 2 veg Posted 19 January 2020 Posted 19 January 2020 He’s okay. But he’s the best we’ve got without wilf.
lgfualol Posted 19 January 2020 Posted 19 January 2020 Thought he was fine considering it's his 3rd appearance all season.
Guest An Sionnach Posted 19 January 2020 Posted 19 January 2020 Mendy is short but plenty strong however with our lightweight forwards he has to take too much physical pressure.
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 19 January 2020 Posted 19 January 2020 He was absolutely fine. Any criticism is looking in the wrong direction.
Leicester_Loyal Posted 22 January 2020 Posted 22 January 2020 Give him another 2 year deal. He'll make an excellent squad player next season, especially with all the extra European games we're gonna have.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 22 January 2020 Posted 22 January 2020 Hopefully not out long, looked the part today and seemed to be enjoying playing
urban fox Posted 22 January 2020 Posted 22 January 2020 Mendy really is a good player, came here with big expectations but never really had a chance when he got injured right at the start of his stay here. Long road to recovery, a loan spell to get his confidence back in his body and then of course the Wilf factor. When you have someone of Ndidi's class holding the position then they are going to be very hard to shift (bit like any striker when you have Vardy). He, like every other player in the squad has had a few poor games, but generally whenever called on has been professional and put in a decent performance.As there has been no hint over a new contract it looks like we are going to lose out, as he will want more regular games and will be a free agent.
Babylon Posted 22 January 2020 Posted 22 January 2020 Won’t be popular, but I’d have him every day of the week over Hamza. Just has a more rounded game. Excellent tonight.

I agree. Hamza is not the finished article, still has a few rough edges. Mendy reads the game better and keeps a cool head. Besides Hamza is not strictly a holding player like wilf and mendy, i would describe him as more of a deep central midfielder rather than an out and out DM
