A selection of Manchester City fans on Twitter were left frustrated with Benjamin Mendy’s display against Tottenham Hotspur in their Premier League opener.

The Frenchman was picked to start at left-back ahead of Oleksandr Zinchenko and Aymeric Laporte, and he had a disappointing showing in his 79 minutes on the field.

Mendy was caught horribly out of position in the lead up to Son Heung-min’s goal in the 55th minute that created the space for the striker to curl his spot into the back of the net.

The 27-year-old was also guilty of misplacing several passes in his own half and it was clear that he was targeted by Spurs. He was dispossessed on 16 occasions.

Nathan Ake also had a difficult game at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, but Mendy received the vast share of criticism from some of the fans on Twitter.

When are people going to realise that Benjamin Mendy is not good enough

That Lucas Moura chance came from another misplaced Mendy pass, I'm tired
