The english media , always does this. No one is thinking of benching a champion league goal keeper in the middle of a World Cup tournament. If you do that you’re sending the wrong message to the team.
Bit weird to suggest the best RWB in the world and a CB who recently came to the end of a 30 game unbeaten run in the Prem only got their contracts by asking nicely.
If I was Mendy I would look for a stable club . His value is still high and most club need a champion league goalkeeper . With the new owner and the inexperienced manager , Chelsea are not the same. Come on they think they can rely on kepa for a full season.

It wasn't him. You might be thinking of Sane missing two and Salah coaching his keeper.
Edit: I was wrong. The stats didn't include shootouts and I forgot about the WC qualifier
This is the type of saves he is great at, though. He struggles at distance shots and generally situations where he has too much time to overthink. It's just that PL teams picked up on that fact and Chelsea's current defense cannot properly protect his weakness like in 2021
That's not true... He just has lapses in his concentration and makes silly mistakes... But his biggest crime is indecision with the ball at his feet. Takes too long and too often, seems confused
The attacker went for the header but the ball ended up hitting his leg. I find it impressive that Mendy reacted so quickly from such a close range, considering that it must've been pretty unexpected.
Not for me, it's good but it's a nice height and not that far away from the body - not that it isn't impressive but most keepers should stop that. There's been quite a few better ones, Neuer for example, Pickford too, and the best imo was Schmeichel's.
Game saving that. Qatar played pretty well in an attempt to get back into the game, if not for a little better shooting they would have at least drawn.

Mendy playing out of his mind
The rumor of him being benched must have really sparked him!

It came from the English media? Source?
MY BOY <3 (tho Mandanda is an absolute unit too)
Absurd reflex save
Redemption
Chelsea will now overthink about his renewal 🤣
Chelsea seem to be giving out 6 year contracts to anyone who asks nicely at the minute tbh
Hold on, gonna send an email.
one month contract would probably made my whole life much less stressful.
Oh no we renewed two academy products who have performed well at the top level
They've renewed 2 players...
James and Trev but Mount is also basically done
Do they not deserve? Being promoted from the academy they are probably being paid peanuts with previous contracts compared to bought players same age
Where did I say they don't deserve it? James is our best player, Mount (barring his current form) and Chalobah are very good at their job too
Mount deaerves more but definitely not more than james, and certainly not 300k..
Who's that then?

Hey, that's not true. If you're over the age of 30 you only get a 4+1 year contract on 300k a week!
If I was Mendy I would look for a stable club . His value is still high and most club need a champion league goalkeeper . With the new owner and the inexperienced manager , Chelsea are not the same. Come on they think they can rely on kepa for a full season.
He’s been shit this season, hence being dropped for Kepa. Doubt many CL clubs would be interested right now Name 5 who would want him as a starter?
Song
Save of the tournament so far, epic.
What a fucking stop! Credit to Qatar for putting up a fight today.
Will say…Qatar *is* being more aggressive this half! They had some actual chances to score…it’s certainly better than nothing…
Man refuses to get benched again
Mendy is still class. I just wish he could save PKs.
We need to be allowed to merge our keepers abilities, then we’ll have the best in the world
Worst PK stopper ever
He stopped 2 PKs against Egypt and from Salah nontheless iirc

What a save
Hopefully does Mendy well. I think losing his place to Kepa after his injury sapped some of the confidence.
This is the type of saves he is great at, though. He struggles at distance shots and generally situations where he has too much time to overthink. It's just that PL teams picked up on that fact and Chelsea's current defense cannot properly protect his weakness like in 2021

Their keeper has been on fire the last 5 min
Save of the tournament so far.
Either this or that one Neuer save
SK's goalie stopped quite the rocket from Valverde yesterday as well. Would conclude the Top 3 saves for me (and above all is Japan's save imo)
Valverde hit the post right?
Oh did he? I only saw it once live, might be my eyes were mistaken. ED: Sry you're right, my bad.
No worries, it was a rocket of a shot though.
Gonda's quadruple saves were pretty good, but I guess individually they may not beat out this one.
What am I missing here? This is an above average save, the attacker shoot in the middle with little power
Lol. I guess you didn't notice his fast reflexes and his right hand having to go out and be strong enough in zero time to push it past the goal
The attacker went for the header but the ball ended up hitting his leg. I find it impressive that Mendy reacted so quickly from such a close range, considering that it must've been pretty unexpected.
Noppert bottom left full 2 meter stretch takes the cake for me, but I'm biased probably
Not for me, it's good but it's a nice height and not that far away from the body - not that it isn't impressive but most keepers should stop that. There's been quite a few better ones, Neuer for example, Pickford too, and the best imo was Schmeichel's.
Insane clearance
His body double was in goal last game
What a save! What a save! What a save!
What a fucking save
Quality save
Headed that one with his knee lol
Save of the tournament imo (So far)
The way people wrote this guy off so quickly is amazing. Was an absolute wall in our CL run and in PL too at that time.
Edouuuu!
Love it, 0 points 0 goals please
Kepa-esque
Better
On r/soccer you're only as good as your last five minutes... Getting whiplash from these 180s
and people say Qatar is weaker than Costa Rica.
Great save but what in the shin roller was that attempt. Keeper should have no chance there
Crikey
Mendy redemption arc???
Great save, but how on earth are you missing that
This feels like a completely different Mendy from the Netherlands match
Save of the tournament right there
Game saving that. Qatar played pretty well in an attempt to get back into the game, if not for a little better shooting they would have at least drawn.
