#26 | Riyad Mahrez - 2019/20 Performances

[Cobra]

I thought he was lazy and greedy when he came on, but he also took his goal well. Don’t think he’ll start against Madrid though.

He can strike the ball. Fair enough. But I'd be happy to see him sold and replaced by someone who has the same skill level but can make better decisions.

It's the same with Walker. He can run fast. Fair enough. But I'd be happy to see him sold and replaced by someone who has the same physical attributes but can make better decisions.

A good few of our players need some Omega 3 for brain development.

 

[mccity]

Well I like him.

Foden gives us more on the right Mahrez as super sub

 

[kaz7]

He is not a sub,much better when he starts

Yeah suppose but rather have Foden on the right than him.

I read these threads and wonder. We need to sort out defensive issues. That is all. We just scored a ton and Mahrez smashed one in with his wrong in.

I thought he played fine, but there's no denying he's a liability defensively..

Offense has never been our issue. 3 seasons in a row we have scored a ridiculous amount of goals, but in 2 of those seasons we won thr league our defense was amazing and this season it isnt.

But with Sane and David we simply need players to continue our attack prowess. Mahrez frustrates, but also has magic at the same time. If he stays I'm okay, but if he leaves I'm also fine with it too because of the frustration.

Sometimes people see our 1-0 losses and blame the offense, but in reality its really hard to score against 10 members behind the ball because our defense gifted a goal.

Well, Pep did start that skinny kid instead of Mahrez in the last 2 matches.
Mahrez has to take care or he finds himself behind Phil in the pecking order.
Maybe he already is.
Esp. as he doesn't offer a 2nd or 3rd position to play on, like many others do.

And as I said, depending on a better alternative.
That said, he has 3 more years on the contract and I want him to work harder and show more commitment.
Scoring the 4th in a match is nice but not what I mean.

I think that you and many others will never warm to him even if he scored a hat-trick in the CL final. Might be the price tag, might be his hair, might be his toes, who knows. You lot are nowhere to be seen when he has a good game and only here to jump at his throat at the slightest mistake.

For the record, he's is the second best player behind KdB, who's absolutely untouchable, and had a good season. Now I'm not saying he's perfect but the amount of bashing he gets is really unwarranted.
