#26 | Riyad Mahrez - 2019/20 Performances

I’ve found that this has crept into our game a bit more this season. Taking a shot when it’s not the best option available. Mahrez isn’t the only guilty party in fairness.

I agree. However, it seems that Mahrez is the one who does it the most, but I have no proof for that and I could be wrong.

Taking the shot when there are players wide open for a tap in isn’t a great trait - certainly not when the shot is often poor.

I cannot disagree but like I say, it is good that he has the confidence to have a go as I feel we were becoming too predictable facing 9 behind the ball

Creating assists and shooting with both feet now.He looks better when he comes off the right wing where he has to pass back or sideways .

So far I think Mahrez is too inconsistent. And tbh thats about the only aspect in his game he needs to improve.

The modern day Navas at City. Creates multiple chances per game that go unnoticed because they wasn't taken.

That's disrespectful to Mahrez. He is 100 times the player Navas was.

We would have been better off, had Pep played him more often; especially when he was on fire after winning AFCON. He was almost behind every single goal in the games he played early this season, then Pep decided to drop him unexpectedly against Spurs, Sheffield, United and Liverpool. Fixtures that ended with either a loss or a draw !

“100 times the player”? What does that even mean? Something being 100 times greater than something is is a fucking huge mark-up.

Navas was a decent player, not great, but consistent for us for two of his years with us.

Mahrez is a cracking footballer but if he’s 100 times the player Navas was I’d expect him to be a mix of Garrincha/Pele/Cruyff/Maradonna/Messi and about twice as good as all of them put together. That’s still might not be 100 times the player Navas was.

A measurement issue?
