Can’t stand him, feel like every time he scores it kind of dilutes my hate for him in our team but it never fully goes. Just don’t see anything from him when the going is tough, more like he adds a cherry on top but that’s useless when we don’t play well as a team

Fucking hell, with “fans” like you, who needs enemies?!

I’ve just never liked him in our team! Had people argue with me about it this season with goals on his side but just feels like all he does is pass it back to walker or our right center mid. Does the odd trick to cross it in the box or gets a goal when we are playing well. Just think we could have a better player there who is more suited to our team

Don't need to say it, since it's painfully obvious. You only point your nose here when you think that you can take a dump on him.

Not liking a player is fine, but this type of hyperbolic nonsense is totally unnecessary.

Fair enough, I don’t mean it against him as a person. Simply as a player, just don’t think he is that good and certainly not a match winner for us going forward.
 
Mahrez has come up with some important goals this ssn, but I'm very worried about his overall play if we're going into next season without getting a winger who can challange him. Way too many times he either runs into the opponent player, delays a pass until it's too late or goes backwards and giving it to Kyle. We have to figure out if he's up for it to be in the A-team because Sterling clearly isn't and if Mahrez has bad season next season, we're f*cked.

Who does Mahrez have to pick out though? We have no striker.

Three years ago Sane and Sterling were on fire with Aguero up top and KDB pulling strings in behind. I am confident Mahrez in that team would have had better goals and assists returns than Sane and Sterling.

I've just never been impressed with Mahrez since he came here. He can have his moments here and there but his overall play is not suited to a Pep side that depend on the wingers in the final 3rd. Mahrez is better suited in a team like Leicester or Chelsea that defend deep ans hit teams on the counter attack. He struggles in this system where he has to shine when the opponent has 11 men behind the ball.

Not a match winner ! Are you serious ? He is the main reason we reached the final. As I mentioned it in Raheem thread, il is all Pep fault. He has never played without a defensive midfielder, he handed the game to Chelsea. No player is to blame. Besides, Riad was our main threat in the second half along with Walker.

You hate a City player who has been playing his heart out, loved by his team mates and loves the club to bits ! how dare you say that he does not deliver when the going is tough ? You are clueless and your hate for the lad or your dirty hidden agenda are apparently clouding your judgement. He scored three goals in the semi, he has been pivotal in CL and has either scored or delivered an assist in every game in the knockout stage. I am not stating these facts to remind you about his brilliance but to remind the genuine fans that may get misled by your non-football assertions.

Man for man, they were better than us all over the park.

The frustrating thing was that man-for-man they worked harder than us and won every battle all over the pitch. They displayed that they wanted it more than us.
 
I've not always been a fan, but he's totally proved me wrong this season. He's worked hard, and has often been inspired going forward. One game doesn't change that.
 
annonymous again in the biggest game....has had a decent season but for me we should cash in on him. He doesnt have the fight required when the chips are down
 
He’s had a very good season and last night he like others didn’t play well due to the set up. He’s incredibly talented
