Summary

Nathaniel Ménendez-Laing made his first appearance of the 2026/27 League Cup season, playing 57 minutes in a single match. He recorded one shot, which was on target, giving him a shots-per-90 rate of 1.58, higher than the baseline of 0.97. Despite no goals or assists, his contribution in attack is reflected in the single on-target attempt. Defensively, he registered no tackles or interceptions, resulting in zero tackles-per-90 compared with a baseline of 1.84. His key-pass output was nil, below the expected 1.33 per 90, and he failed to complete any successful dribbles, again falling short of the 0.68 baseline. With an average match rating of 5.7, Nathaniel Ménendez-Laing’s performance so far illustrates a player who has yet to translate his shot into a goal or create significant chances, while his defensive metrics remain below the competition average.

Nathaniel Méndez-Laing has played 57 minutes across 1 appearance in League Cup, at 0.00 goals per 90 against a positional baseline of 0.14, converting 0% of 1 shots and averaging 5.70 a match.

Per-player totals for 2026/27 from API-Football match stats, across 20 players. Click any column to sort. Goals/shot is conversion - goals divided by shots taken. Rating is API-Football's own 0-10 composite for each appearance, averaged here; it is their proprietary score, so treat it as a summary rather than an input. A blank from the provider means the player recorded none of that event, so it counts as zero. Form is 0-10: each appearance is scored as a per-90 composite of the stats that matter for that position, then the last 5 are compared with the player's own season baseline. 5 is their normal, green a hot run, red a cold one – it measures a player against themselves, not against the squad. Under 6 appearances shows a dash rather than a number off too small a sample.
