Supporters across the world have blamed goalkeeper Edouard Mendy for Senegal's exit from the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar.
The Lions of Teranga's journey in the global competition came to a halt on Sunday after goals from Jordan Henderson, Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka propelled England to a 3-0 victory in the Round of 16 fixture at Al Bayt Stadium.
The overall performance of the 30-year-old Mendy, who turns out for Premier League outfit Chelsea, has elicited debate on social media with a section of fans opining he should have done better to stop Kane and Saka's goals.
Others have questioned Mendy's failure to keep a clean sheet in the competition. In the group stage, Mendy conceded in the 2-0 defeat against the Netherlands, Senegal's 3-1 victory against hosts Qatar and the 2-1 win against Ecuador.

Edouard Mendy lost all his confidence. Feel bad for him, being goalkeeper is such a pressured position. - @ThatDudeBroly

One of the overrated goalkeepers has been exposed, his name is Mendy. - @saidat_salau
Can we now agree that Mendy is overrated? - @gani_jonathan
Don't blame Mendy he is not the only one to play without a good defense you can't do anything that's why Kane has scored a reckless goal. - @shemnyachio1
I'm sure those blaming Mendy for England's second goal are listening to radio commentary. - @kwamebenaiah
Why would you blame Mendy for those two well worked goals? Unfair to me. - @aviitweets99
If you blame Mendy for the goals Senegal conceded then you don’t know ball. - @_mfkent
Cant even blame Mendy, Senegal midfield. so so bad. - @sarrislighter
I can’t blame Mendy for the goals. His defense line has been poor all game. - @SkysilverLORD
I don't understand how anyone will blame Mendy for any of the goals. Koulibaly has been suspect all game and no one is saying anything. If anyone is taking the blame, should be him. - @Khunlhey_Avatar
Has any player scored more goals against Mendy than Bukayo Saka? Or has Bukayo Saka scored more goals against any goalkeeper than Mendy? - @WelBeast
Saka has given Eduoard Mendy HELL EVERY TIME he has faced him 😂😂 - @ClockEndH
Bukayo Saka owns Mendy forever 😭😭 - @AfcGabeast
Arsenal players humiliating Mendy? Not the first time😉 - @bradysikolia
Edouard Mendy must absolutely hate Bukayo Saka. - @AFCMet
They once compared this Mendy guy to Marc-Andre ter Stegen, your apologies should be as loud as your disrespect. - @Founda__
People actually disrespected Alisson Becker for Edouard Mendy over 1 good season, the disrespect to the best keeper in the world. - @SamueILFC
Chelsea fans compared Mendy to De Gea. Funny. - @kobiwaynejr
Mendy is better than Alisson is potentially the worst opinion on here I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂😂 Never forget Chelsea fans tried to tell us that hahahahahaha. - @LFCBXN_
I'm no Chelsea fan, but I agree with the fact that Mendy is still a world-class goalkeeper. - @SirIsaji
Mendy is a world-class goalkeeper and is just on a bad form due to a recent injury. This is normal for players but to say The Best Fifa Goalkeeper of 2021 is not ‘very good’ is screaming agenda for me. - @kelvinbossman
Watching Mendy makes me think Lawrence Ati-Zigi is a prime keeper. - @_mrbio
Ati-Zigi is better than Mendy. Who says No?🤨- @Emmashakurr
Ati-Zigi has been better than Courtois and Mendy combined in this World Cup. - @Tef_lon_don
Ati-Zigi is better than Mendy!!! - @brah_kwadwo8
Ati-Zigi is better than Mendy but Chelsea fans will not accept this🤪. - @official_ADB2
Ati-Zigi is better than Edouard Mendy in my books. - @thisisceekay
Leave Koulibaly and Mendy in Qatar, don’t want them to come back to Chelsea. - @CFC_Ali10
Mendy is a mess, Chelsea need a new keeper, I pray Kepa gets back better. - @afrosouthi
I just really really hope and pray Kepa gets fit by the time club match resumes. Mendy is not it!!! - @uniquely_PAM
Chelsea needs to sell Édouard Mendy next summer. He’s getting worse 😭 - @IbzSpeaks
