Positives - We took a point away against our biggest rivals for the league without our best player (KDB).
I thought Stones and especially Laporte looked rock solid. Laporte had one of the better games I've seen a CB play in a City shirt. The whole back 4 and GK looked compossed and confident. Mendy could have done a bit more going forward, but I understand he had Salah to worry about. In the midfield I thought D Silva was a bit off today, B Silva and Fern weren't at their best, but were decent. I thought Sterling did well to not let the crowd get in his head. Aguero didn't have much to do, but guarantee he wouldn't have missed the penalty. Sane did well when he came on to draw the penalty. Jesus didn't do all that much when he came on, but pressed hard and did well to put pressure.
Negatives - I'm sorry, but I never understood why we signed Mahrez in the first place. We didn't/don't need him. I think he actually makes us worse, with Sane/Sterling/Silva out wide we're more dangerous and free flowing. Mahrez is a good player, but doesn't seem to fit our style with the ball. Yes he has a decent defensive work rate and applies pressure, but it's not nothing spectacular. With the ball he is a bit selfish and many times breaks up the flow of how we play. We pass, pass, pass, pass and pass then when Mahrez gets it the whole thing slows down. Yes, at times the same thing can be said of Sane, but Sane makes things happen. Yeah, Mahrez has a few goals recently, but overall since he's been here be hasn't usually produced great end product either. Sane, Sterling and Silva are all better players, plain and simple. No wonder Sane has bad body language, he wins young player of the year, and then we bring in a lesser player who now starts ahead of him.
THE PENALTY- When Leicester won the title I remember Mahrez taking penalties away from Vardy. He does not have a good record (7/12 in PL). I don't know if it was a coaching decision or if Mahrez decided to step up. Either way, he should have not taken that pen.
Oh well, we're top of the table. I'll take it.
