Mendy has gone through some hardship en route to where he is today, as back in 2014 he was left without a team after departing French football fourth-tier side Cherbourg.

To me, he's given the defence more confidence going into matches and that, in turn, has also made fans relaxed when he's in the goal that if a chance for the opponents does come in a game he will be more than up for the challenge of saving it. Since arriving in August last year he's been a huge presence claiming crosses and saving shots. I don't feel the defence is as assured as a back three or five when the goalkeepers change. Kepa Arrizabalaga has done well under Thomas Tuchel at times but he doesn't give me the confidence and I'm not as relaxed as I am with Mendy in goal. This is likely to be something we need to keep an eye on but hopefully, it's just a case of bruising that needs time to heal but the fact he keeps complaining about it is getting me a little anxious to live without Mendy in the sticks.
