cosmicway 1,333 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 This can't be real with Mendy. I 'm afraid it's over with him, Kepa is Chelsea's goalkeeper. mkh and Magic Lamps 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,983 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Absolutely raging. This performance in simply unacceptable. Mendy is a fucking nightmare on the ball. Stop playing it back to him. Norfolkblue1961 and bigbluewillie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is LESS than useless in a game like this where we don’t have 70+ % of the ball with him comfortably dictating things. This is the sort of game that screams out for a certain profile of midfielder. THIS is why the links to a calm, press resistant midfielder like FDJ make sense. Or Kova if he were bloody fit. opposition midfielders just stream past him like he isnt there....he is not agile, strong enough nor quick enough...he is becoming a liability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,156 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Mendy has been off form a while and is ability on the ball is just bad. Havertz and Mount not offering much at all. Jorginho and Gallagher off the pace. Would be tempted to chuck in Chukwuemeka at H/T. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,985 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Mount hasn’t got going yet this season 3 games in. Totally on the periphery in each game so far. Sterling has looked our only dangerous attacker so far this season. Don’t see where the goals are coming from with this current team. bigbluewillie, DDA and Laylabelle 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop playing it back to him. And they do this so many times! Going backwards isn't going to help near their goal! Leeds deserve this! They have been impressive and organised. This won't finish 2-0 they'll get more. Going to end embarrassing. Hopefully it'll change but we don't look like scoring one..

Blues Forever 1,232 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 So our problems so far: 1. Non-existent attack apart from Sterling 2. Non-existent midfield without Kante and Kovacic 3. A GK who is bad with his feet. Laylabelle, cfccrost and bigbluewillie 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork 1,794 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Mendy is a big problem and has huge impact on the overall team, his distribution is so poor that our CBs has to hold his hand make short passes. Reason you can’t high pressure Pool and City is that their defenders are spread out making the opposition hard to trap them. Superblue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Mendy is becoming a more regular problem with these errors. There's no shame to just launch that ball out for a throw in and reset. He isn't technically good enough to be doing things like that and it's completely turned a game where we had ridden the initial storm. By no means have we played well but we keep getting punished time and again for stupid errors. It happened with alarming regularity last season and is no different again today. And it was something I felt when watching him last pre season before he went to Palace and I still feel is true, Gallagher isn't technically good enough to be playing in midfield for us, particularly in a 2. He's far too slow and not composed enough on the ball. I was worried today about him playing in there and so far he's just confirmed my concerns with him. Personally feel we should have started RLC in there and brought Azpilicueta or Chalobah into the defence but hindsight is wonderful.
