He’s a decent player, and worthy of a place in the squad for the remainder of the season imo. id like to see him and Ndidi in against Liverpool away, shielding our shakey back four. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His physicality is a constant though, he just doesn’t have the legs to put enough pressure on the opposition midfielders so defensively it’s an issue. He offers nothing (positive) in possession either so he adds very little to the side. Ndidi and Mendy together puts us under more pressure because they can’t get us up the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sunbury Fox Posted 2 February 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 2 February 2022 I always think that Mendy is a useful sub to bring on when we are leading in a game. He's very comfortable receiving and on the ball and is good at retaining possession through quick and simple passing, which helps to take the sting out of games and run the clock down. Given our hideous game management in his absence this season it's worth bringing him back into the PL squad for this alone! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds' third goal shows up his total lack of physicality that was pretty common when we played him in the Wilf role in a 4 2 3 1/ 4 1 4 1 season.where we pushed further up the pitch and would be very vulnerable on the counter. Played well earlier last season when we were playing 5 4 1 sitting deeper on the counter but not effective in the solo CDM role. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs at home would be my guess. Massive error in hindsight to put him on rather than Amartey as it took Ndidi out of midfield. If a player is only good when he's in an ultra protected system then that's because he's not actually that good, is the bluntest way I can put it.

At the time, it didn’t look like he had another choice as he didn’t think Amartey could play in a central pairing rather than a 3 man defence. Choudhury would have given us more physical presence and came on in the FA Cup Final but didn’t come on first vs Spurs after what happened in the Man U game the season before. Like I said, and other posters have, Mendy is good in possession and could make an important impact off the bench for game management given our weakness in that so far this season.

Vardinio'sCat Posted 2 February 2022 Share Posted 2 February 2022 (edited) Pleased for him, he has done well to be in the kind of shape he is. When he wins AFCON, could the miserablists just have a day off for once. Edited 2 February 2022 by Vardinio'sCat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stories around the cars are what make them special. Cars used to be the difference between a tolerable existence and an enviable one, especially for men, but their role in liberating women was huge. Men were allowed motorbikes, of course, but girls not so much. I don't think we had the Bubble car long, it wasn't a long range car, but it made a big impression on us kids. I always remember the air of incredulity when we got in and the door was shut. It didn't seem right. No reverse gear! The Messerschmitt's are my favourite because they obviously didn't do a great deal of retooling in the immediate post war period! Just used what they had, I guess. You don't really see bubble cars in the UK much, the rot and the salt got them, but I think they were assembled here for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't really see bubble cars in the UK much, the rot and the salt got them, but I think they were assembled here for a while. An ex German colleague, about 12yrs ago, was looking for bits & spares for his old Messerschmit ( he Rebuilt old cars,he loved his MG) He looked around France,asked around scandinavia, obviously Germany, But low & behold the Bits he needed he found in the far North of England... Did the whole worming Type of Business over internet & from also an enthusiast who had 4-5 micro-cars, & Bubble cars spares .But only One Working car...2 years later he came over, to have a get together, my Friend- ex-college invited me to his place...was Really looking forward to it.. Unfortunately I had to go in the hospital. Then like how life drifts, I Met him only once since,then upto now Not since.... What the fk this has to to so with Mendy I dont know, But it gives the poor lad some respite from the unnecessary OTT critic from this forum... I like the lad, & havent forgotten when he Stepped in & stepped up last Season & he helped us to those dizzy heights, where in difficult circumstances we still Drove & pushed for those covetted Top 3-6 placings.. Picking out individual Games and solitary moments in any game, is Really OTT... Lets do that with any of our stars ,or other clubs Star players....!! Then why bother to support any team they all have crap periods, I mean for ffs, how did Ronaldo or Messi become Ballon d'or candidates, they also dished out crap performances, and had periods of going missing... Tielemans hasnt been showing of late... People go far Too deep looking & grinding out individual mistakes. Part of the game is taking it in ones Stride its Nature of the beast, 85% of Footballers on show are not wizards,they all fk up, then have superb moments.... Some Posters should Step back & Enjoy the Great & frustrating moments... This word "Blame" has a lot to answer for....Its become more than the shining light, than support & encourage...I 11 man go out, its rare 11 have a Good game,more often 4-6, will be off par..But still have their moments.. Mendy has Never Let this Club/team down when called upon.. Edited 3 February 2022 by fuchsntf 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
