Manchester City fans are furious with left-back Benjamin Mendy after his performance in this evening’s 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
City lost their opening Premier League clash for the first time in over a decade when Son Heung-min’s strike in the 55th minute sealed opening day victory for new manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
Benjamin Mendy’s performance against Tottenham Hotspur has come under fire his involvement in the game’s only goal.
The former Monaco man was regularly targeted by Tottenham and regularly beaten as the home side found a way past or through him far too often.
He couldn’t handle Son and Moura, who kept peeling out to his flank and Spurs got a lot of joy down City’s left.
The France international did not look comfortable, losing ten of his 14 duels, being dribbled past four times, losing the ball on 16 occasions and finding a team-mate with just one of his nine crosses (Sofascore).
The Frenchman didn’t offer much going forward either and was substituted for Oleksandr Zinchenko late in the game.
In reaction to Mendy’s display, plenty of Sky Blues took to twitter to express their disappointment, with some fans even calling him a ‘liability’ and others claiming he is ‘one of the worst LB’s in the world’.
Mendy should never play again, Zinchenko so clear

Mendy looks so uncomfortable as soon as he has to defend or gets pressed. He’s still got quality going forward, but he’s too much of a liability now

He can’t defend

Look at Mendy. Just look at him. I can’t believe what I’m watching.

When are people going to realise that Benjamin Mendy is not good enough?

Benjamin Mendy is genuinely one of the worst LB’s in the world but he’s somehow managed to win pretty much everything that there is to win. That’s the definition of a fraud, he’s sooo bad it’s untrue!

I can’t deal with another season of Mendy. I’m sorry. He’s so dodgy it’s painful.

He’s only 27 and his legs are already gone it’s only get worser and worser for the guy he needs to be binned asap

Manchester City have spent millions and millions and millions of pounds yet they have Benjamin Mendy starting at left-back. One of the worst left-backs I’ve ever seen, he simply can’t defend. Disaster signing.
