Riyad Mahrez

[Holcombe bloo]

Seeing as he's coming in to cover Sane, can he play down the left? If not I'd think it's not a great move, every time I see Mahrez he looks a great player but on the right wing

 

[Woody135]

Signing Mahrez gives the kids at leicester a chance at more game time. We dont hear about that though. Doesnt fit the narrative

 

[Zenmanc]

Then the performance drops

Dude we've hardly played the same 11 all season... Start now then?

No he's not really effective on the left

He has done before, and Sterling can play on the left so if Bernardo finally get's a bit more CAM time (which we all want him to get).

Sterling/Sane/Mahrez competing for LW and RW with Diaz gettin a youth run here and there

3 players for 2 spots in 4 comps aint so bad

 

[Thorin Oakenshield]

So you want us to play the same 11 every game?

As much as possible. Surely this creates better team chemistry. Case in point the midfield. KDB and Silva play well together because they know each other. Would we be as effective playing them together every second week?

 

[cleavers]

Arguably been their best players the last few games, just the fact he's regularly starting now is pretty impressive considering his age.

He's played twice.

Anyway there is a thread for Sancho (and Diaz/Foden) so can we keep comments there please.

 

[St.Pauli support]

The difference with Sancho is that he is taller and physically stronger than both Foden and Diaz. Watch the few minutes of game time Diaz has been given and you'll see that he is easily nudged off the ball. If Sancho were still here I reckon he'd be getting game time. That's what really hurts about his move away.

The age is not so important. All three have the technical abilities to play at a high level, but Foden and Diaz are not physically ready just yet.

Spot on mate!

Been reading bits of the Foxes forum. One minute they're saying he's worth nothing less than £100 million, next they're saying he'll be on the bench when Jesus and Sane are back. Make your mind up, which is it

 

[Zenmanc]

Sterling to left then... Not his ideal but he covers it better than RM does at left.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Can somebody please explain to me how the team would like up if Mahrez joins and everybody is fully fit?

Depends on the opponent.
Rotation mate.

 

[City_Sean]

I'm kind of baffled that people are suggesting we don't need another forward. We currently have one winger in Sterling as I don't think it's Bernardo's best position, that's before you factor in Sane and Jesus will both be out for a long period AND Jesus hasn't scored in his previous nine games prior to his injury. We need the firepower and the last thing we want is to trip ourselves at the final hurdle by not making sure the horse has enough to make the jump. We're on the verge of achieving something incredible and we need the depth.

That's what we are doing at the moment and we don't seem to be doing to badly.

You play in all comps you need that kind of option... Foxes not well versed in that.

Never seen the rags melt down like this it's comedy gold just shut up and be happy with Sanchez instead of being so bitter lol

 

[cleavers]

He isn't.

(if) He's coming, its to replace the player we didn't get having chased him for 12 months, Sanchez.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

No doubt about the rags on here. Stand out a mile.

Think there hurting again mate the sanchez high didnt last long.always in there shadow my arse .

They can't help themselves, so worried about little old City.

 

[Peggy's a blue]

To me it’s obviously a good move, we have players out for lengthy periods. Mahrez can play right or centre attacking midfield. Not withstanding the injuries, the squad needs beefing up to cover loss off form/fatigue
I think when players of this class become available it’s a no brainier when you are in our current position.

I agree. We are on the cusp of something truly unique this season. Laporte and Mahrez would only add to this amazing and nearly complete squad. Shame it doesn't look like Fred will join them yet.
