Of course it does, pre injury Mendy was never getting out paced by Neto.
It doesn't excuse the errors though, but I'm not having that Traore shoulder barging Mendy in the back was an error, foul all day long.
All pre-injury:
38 seconds - Mendy caught in no mans land forcing the City player to make a foul on the edge of our area
1:30 - Mendy again caught completely out of position leaving Salah a free run at goal
1:36 - absolutely rinsed my Mane and Mendy tries to pull him back
2:34 - Mendy goes for the ball, kisses completely and now leaves Salah a free run at goal
4:03 - Mendy way out of position, manages to recover and make a tackle
4:08 - Attacker gets in front of Mendy and Mendy has lost him
In the interest of fairness he also got one assist in this match.
