He was superb against a shit team. Is that ok?
So superb against a shit team is only average?
No. Turn around and have another go. I said he wasn't superb. You are playing far too fast and loose with that word. If Mendy is 'superb' or his performance against West Ham can be considered so, then we need to invent a whole new set of superlatives to describe the numerous footballers and performances that are miles beyond what he did against one of the worst sides I've seen play in the Premier League.

He was perfectly adequate and played well. That's where it stops. If he's consistent and shows improvement over time then I'll be one happy bunny but let's not turn this into the new Iheanacho band wagon. Neither have yet proven they are anywhere near good enough for a top four Premier League side.
 
I might add that a certain Norbert Styles is 1.68 metres tall and Mendy 1.67.

The game has changed a lot in the 53 years though...

Although a better comparison might be that Kante is also 1.68m.

With Mendy, I think he's a decent player but feel like he puts in a good performance whenever we've not seen him in a while, sometimes even a few, but then it fizzles out and we remember why he's not been in the side.

He's been unlucky with injuries here and I think if it wasn't for that ankle injury he may have made it, but think his chance here has gone.

He was in the lineup because we needed him to be, and with the added benefit of putting him in the shop window. And he will probably play against Wigan for that reason too
 
Mendy sounds like

Isn’t this part of having a squad though? Mendy seems to have done what we need from a squad player and third choice defensive midfielder. We can’t afford to have Kante, Wilf and Fernandinho as our options, and none of them would exactly be satisfied with that state of affairs.
 
I said I didn't think he was good enough for us. I still don't.

Below in italics is what you wrote in the match thread.

Mendy. ****ing shambles.
Well he wasn’t.

He's been shite since day one.
Well he hasn’t.

There's a reason Mendy has been nowhere near our team for a while; he's not in any way good enough.
Well he has; and he is.

I'll still be the same cantankerous old bastard.
At least you got that one partly right but you should have added ignorant, as in lacking knowledge.

Okay. Let's start from the beginning seeing as you want folk to 'bite' at your trolling.

No.1. You telling me that a player is good enough isn't evidence of anything. Jump down off your high horse and stop pretending to be an oracle of all things football. You're just as much of a pleb as the rest of us whether you like it or not, sonny Jim. You were probably one of the numerous posters who used your superior 'knowledge' to tell me that Slimani and Musa were exceptional players who we had wronged somehow, that Silva was 'technically wonderful' and just needed a run or that Puel was 'transitioning' the team. They were all ****ing rubbish from day one and most of us could see it. I'm sure you can't wait for Diabate to come back and show us what a talented young man he is based in all your knowledge of having played the game at the top level for years (I assume).

No. 2. Other than yesterday, when was the last time Mendy was included? Oh, that's right, he's been nowhere near our team for ages, just as I had suggested. There was one poster who hadn't even realised he was still at the club this season! Making up nonsense to the contrary doesn't help your cause.

No. 3. What is this thing you have about being Billy Big Bollocks and knowing all there is to know about a sport? You've already made a complete cockend of yourself acting like a pre-pubescent school boy with your insistence on playground 'my dad's bigger than your dad' type arguments, why would you want to make it worse?

Just settle down and be happy that you've made a compete tit of yourself with the 'you bit... so did you' shambles. Perhaps then you can be a little more sensible.

Let's see how many more appearences Mendy makes in which he is 'superb' (something he has never been for ****'s sake) and then we can make a judgement based on evidence. I'll stick my neck out and say it'll be very few. If he proves my thoughts to be inaccurate, then that's great but I'd rather see it than take the word of a 'genius' like you as sacred. As of yet, he has played a handful of games during most of which he's been average at best.

Yes, I bit. Now use that stiff flannel to mop yourself up and move on to the next bit of forum porn to satisfy yourself.
