#26 | Riyad Mahrez - 2019/20 Performances

[bluealf]

Doesn't seem to fully grasp our system yet... maybe he needs a run of games but its hard to displace the ever performing Bernardo

I think the fact that he played well in the first game of the season and then got benched anyway has again maybe sparked the thought that he needs to show what he can do in his limited minutes, hence the bit of greed, which is really the worst thing for Pep I'd say, he likes a team player, a hard worker etc.

That being said I thought he was unlucky to be dropped for the Spurs game but his 10 minute cameo in that game was poor and it wasn't a shock to see not in the team today.

Needs a few starts-looks very one dimensional when coming on as sub on the right wing. Its cut in left and look for an opening & defenders just know whats coming.

That's a fair counterpoint to what appears to be greediness, maybe he is trying too hard to impress in his limited minutes. Fair enough.

Well played today, very influential.

Well played today, very influential.

Spot on. He looks more comfortable with every game...linking well and his passing is excellent.

Some sublime bits of skill today

 

[mccity]

Unselfish Mahrez is a sensational player.

Was very good today. It's pretty unfortunate he can't do that off the bench as well because he could be such a weapon for us. Hopefully that consistency is the next step for him

Had a great game today: very team-oriented with his decision making, tracked back well when needed, and was involved in the build up for most of our attacks (either directly or indirectly).

Only way he could have improved on the day was getting a goal and/or assist, but those will come in droves if he continues to play like this.

Enjoyed his performance today very much. He has played very well in both his starts this season.
