Cropwellfox Posted 10 April 2022 Share Posted 10 April 2022 Thought he was exceptional today. Always showed for the ball, kept his passing easy and took opportunities to drive forward as well. Him and KDH made Gallagher look championship level. Hope he wants to stick around a few more years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enmac Posted 10 April 2022 Share Posted 10 April 2022 Mendy and KDH are our most consistent players. Always 7+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I hope he knows, that, in the end and longer than it should've took, he was liked, appreciated and rated by supporters He's been shat on big time with his PL and EL squad omissions. But carries himself really well ...those omissions are due to him have one foot out of the club door!!! Rodgers sees him every week in training and was happy to allow him to go. Now either Mendy has changed his approach to the game which has now forced Rodgers to look at him again, or we had no other option but to bring him back into the fold.

Popular Post HighPeakFox Posted 10 April 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 10 April 2022 On Mendy, I've always had a fondness for the underdog, and this guy should be retained for many reasons, not least that he's a proper professional. Look at what he's had to endure since moving to us - and yes of course he's been paid well - and he's never ever, as far as I can tell, kicked off or created any negativity. I so enjoyed seeing him make absolute mugs out of opposition players once or twice today, and as other people have said, he seems to play so well in this formation, and (and I'm sure this is no coincidence) with KDH being a powerhouse nearby. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesta2014 Posted 10 April 2022 Share Posted 10 April 2022 Is it me or does he look like he’s lost some weight meaning he’s more mobile? Point today he dribbled between two and showed good acceleration and won a foul, he wouldn’t of done that two years ago 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGFox Posted 10 April 2022 Share Posted 10 April 2022 Excellent game again. Does the simple things well, drove forward a few times. Retains possession well. Tidy player and very underrated by BR and previous managers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majaco Posted 10 April 2022 Share Posted 10 April 2022 3 hours ago, Tom12345 said: Ricardo has been injured a lot recently as well. Ndidi is also injured. And oh mine Evans has been injured a lot as well. They do not come back into the reserves, or as a result be not registered for the team roster. By your logic, they should count themselves lucky to be earning a paycheck let alone be straight back into the first team. So I am not sure of your argument there. The fact is he is way underappreciated. As for “his best years”, for a midfielder like him, he should really be at his best and be playing regular football between 26-30. He spent much of that with us. If he was not in the Cameroon national team, had an awesome tournament and was the African Cup Champion, he may well have been forgotten completely even as of now. Bit ignorant remembering his Cameroon success. Seems like you've forgotten him already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton Fox Posted 10 April 2022 Share Posted 10 April 2022 I thought this was one of his best ever games for us, he has looked really good in every game since coming back from the AFCON, but people who now seem to think he’s been better than ndidi and he should have been playing for the the last 3 years are either very anti Rodgers or just very reactionary based on a few good games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re lucky to have both with hamza and soumare as back ups! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
