Ashley Young v Benjamin Mendy
Ashley Young
Pace
7
Slowing down now as he ages, was very quick but is just quick now.
Crossing
8
Has the ability to cross the ball really well on his right foot. He can be very hit and miss though and is as prone to making a mess of it as he is to putting it into a good area.
Tackling
6
Young does give his all but he often tackles like the lightweight winger he is. Or rather was.
Technique
7
He does have very good technique, but it seems to be affected by his age as well and is fading.
Heading
5
Weak in the air, lacking height and power to win headers.

Benjamin Mendy
Pace
8
He does seem to have lost a step since his injury but he is still quick, very quick.
Crossing
8
More like a driven pass than a cross, but they are excellent.
Tackling
5
The defensive side of his game is a real weakness. While he is very strong, his tackling can be weak.
Technique
7
Very good technique. Well suited to the way Man City play.
Heading
8
Very good in the air, his strength, leap and height is enough to beat most widemen he faces.
