Senegal in the final. I had them as winners before tournament but tbh they reached final without facing any of top 6 or 7 African teams. They will in the final. Also important for them to avoid any penalty shootouts with Mendy.

they are pretty loaded tbh, the only thing they lack is a great pure AMF, but they have many wingers who can play there

many of these CF's can play winger, many of DMF's can play CMF

What a year for the big man. Just needs to CWC and he’ll be champion of everything.

Cech won POTY in 10/11. Mendy is actually better this season.

10 years ago we also did not have some crazy attacking players: Anelka 16 goals, Malouda 14, Lampard, Drogba and Kalou 13, Ivanovic after that with 6 goals.

Usually attackers take all the credit and awards but surely there must be option for GK or defender to win POTY? 

I dont know what more should Mendy do to be considered? His standard cannot be higher. VVD won POTY when Salah scored 27 goals, we did not have outfield player on that level this season.

And our defense is second best in the league (best under Tuchel) and attack is 7th so I think this award should go to Mendy but Silva and Rudiger should also be candidates. 

 

So I thought Mendy should have won POTY but also should be benched for Kepa? @MoroccanBlue

Another trophy added to his collection within the past year.

Silva lost Copa America final so Mendy and Jorginho most successful.

Thanks a lot. I hope Tuchel absolutely kills him because he killed our chances.

last season may have been world class but this year mistakes keep on coming

Sick of him if I am honest

No where near Kepa. Never was.

Playing with the ball at his feet is an obvious weakness which we have seen for time and needs work on, but probably something that is hard to coach a player. If they are just not technically gifted, then yeah but saying that there are goalkeepers that have improved with ball at their feet. Another concern is his hesitation in coming out of goal. He is rooted way to deep and the goalkeepers at the best club now regularly come of their line to clear a ball. He puts us in danger way too much. Top keeper but yes a lot of work needs to be done with the way we are looking to play. Because the ability to play out from the back is key to majority of top teams now. Arsenal having Ramsdale has improved them big time, City with Ederson is obvious.

It happens even to the best goalies. Manuel Neuer had quite a few very costly errors vs Real madrid and Liverpool in the last 5 years in the CL as well.

the timing could not have been more unfortunate ofc. He has never been good with his feet but been decent enough for 90% of games. Now he has had his confidence shot maybe so that percentage goes down a bit. I do not see him improving this, given he is 30. But it also means we should keep our eyes open for a long term successor in the coming years if we want to continue playing a system that plays out from the back.
