# Manchester City: Fans tear into Benjamin Mendy following 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion

**Following Man City’s [1-1 draw at home to West Bromwich Albion](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55225713) on Tuesday night, a result which means more dropped points in the Premier League, many Sky Blues ripped into one man after they couldn’t squeeze a last-gasp winner past Slaven Bilic’s side – with Benjamin Mendy at the centre of criticism from these supporters.**

Mendy, who started last night in place of usual makeshift left-back Joao Cancelo as the Portuguese was placed on the right, had been putting in some noteworthy performances recently – with the Frenchman scoring his first Premier League goal during a [5-0 romp at home to Burnley](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55025784) at the end of November.

The defender also played against Fulham as manager Pep Guardiola seems to call upon him regularly – appearing above fellow full-back option Oleksandr Zinchenko in the pecking order.

However, with the absence of his usual overlaps and powerful left-footed balls into the box on Tuesday evening, Mendy cut a largely ineffective figure – with Guardiola swapping him for Kyle Walker late on.

Criticising his performance, here’s what Sky Blues had to say on social media – find all of their verdicts down below.

> Benjamin Mendy is the worst defender we have… he’s completely useless and nobody seems keen on pointing it out. Needs to never play for city again

> Sergio Aguero back to Independiente is inevitable. Gabriel Jesus to have a stint in Turkey before his career is over and whilst I’m at it, Benjamin Mendy is no better than Gael Clichy.
