Pretty much what we thought so far. Struggling a little defensively, very good when able to play. He'll need awhile to adapt to the premiership, defensively.
This is interesting. His overlapping was a fantastic feature of his at Monaco. His pace and power opened up so many opportunities when he saw space to attack. As a wingback, he doesn't really have a winger to overlap.Think he can't use his pace well in a 3-5-2- formation.

I remember Evra saying years ago how being a winger or wingback is so different because you lose the ability to overlap as consistently.
Playing against a very poor Rotterdam team he looked very good.. He has been very hit and miss in the league..Looks a very good player.
I hope at the end of the season we dont regret our decision not to acquire a FB like Aurier or Mendy.Of course he does, just like Aurier. We should have bought one of them, good and available fullbacks are rare.
He is only back from an injury, but offensively he is a weapon. Defensively a bit suspect, but if he can improve there, he will be a massive success and an improvement on Clichy and Kolarov.Playing against a very poor Rotterdam team he looked very good.. He has been very hit and miss in the league..
Think he's played just two league matches for them though, he's a pretty good attacking fullback and was bought for that reason, I'm afraid Poop will make good use of him.Playing against a very poor Rotterdam team he looked very good.. He has been very hit and miss in the league..
Indeed. That was really stupid not to invest in a full back IMHO.Of course he does, just like Aurier. We should have bought one of them, good and available fullbacks are rare.
Yes, because every United supporter loves watching City players interact with their fans.I love him. He's a class player and going from Kolarov/Clichy to anyone after last season is obviously huge. He's brilliant with the fans though, you should follow his twitter.
Yeah. Sure.I love him. He's a class player and going from Kolarov/Clichy to anyone after last season is obviously huge. He's brilliant with the fans though, you should follow his twitter.
He's only played two games so far.Playing against a very poor Rotterdam team he looked very good.. He has been very hit and miss in the league..
Yeah very good attacking not so defending...He's only played two games so far.
I don't disagree, but my point is you can't really say someone has been 'very hit and miss' based on two games.Yeah very good attacking not so defending...
No I agree looks like he could become a fantastic player.. Still early days..I don't disagree, but my point is you can't really say someone has been 'very hit and miss' based on two games.
Can tell you're gonna be a full member soon.No don't like him as he's is shite obviously because he doesn't play for the mighty Manchester United, GGMU. Plainly Mendy is not as good as Darmain, Daley Blind and the world class Luke Shaw. As soon as Luke Shaw comes back in 2025 we will show them what a world class full back can do, in the mean time, we have quality left backs like Daley Blind, Darmain and Rojo so no need for another left back. I am sick of people going on about the need for crosses but let me tell you crosses belong in churches not on football fields. We haven't had crosses at Manchester United in the last 5 years and long may it continue. GGMU forever champions!
lol yup reading this thread is hilariousThe caf So basically he went from shite to world class in 30 min time?
Aurier is much better defensively than Mendy. Mendy has never shown promise as a defender and based on that I don't ever think he will. He has world class potential going forward though.Of course he does, just like Aurier. We should have bought one of them, good and available fullbacks are rare.
A lot of people were upset we didn't get him before he kicked a ball for City, myself being one of them. Our LB position is nothing sort of a shambles, with makeshift midfielders and we missed out on one who could have transferred that position for us. Aurier and Mendy and we'd have a complete squad, yet we've gone into this season with even more questions.30 minutes and it's now we fecked up not signing him. Never change caf.
I'd argue that there were many, many good available fullbacks this summer. In fact, probably more so than ever. It's just that we were cupping our ears and shouting "NO VALUE, WE'RE OK"Of course he does, just like Aurier. We should have bought one of them, good and available fullbacks are rare.
feck off with your sensible facts and measured opinions. There's no time for that hereHe's only played two games so far.
He's only played 2 games in the league, Bournemouth and Liverpool where I thought he was both excellent and last night was no different.Playing against a very poor Rotterdam team he looked very good.. He has been very hit and miss in the league..
Att 11 v 11 he was all over the place defensively against Pool. He is right for Pep's system though.He's only played 2 games in the league, Bournemouth and Liverpool where I thought he was both excellent and last night was no different.
That's how I remember it too, Salah was very good against Mendy and he was all over the place. Once Liverpool were down to 10 then City completely dominated.Att 11 v 11 he was all over the place defensively against Pool. He is right for Pep's system though.

I think he's trying to tell us something...Say what!
And I don't even think he's being subtle about it...I think he's trying to tell us something...
