No bile, I'm just able to spot a player who does not turn up regularly enough or work hard enough for my team., while you just clap along clearly completely oblivious of his overall performance. I don't know one City fan who thinks Mahrez has been worth the record money we paid for him. Sure there are a few keyboard warriors like yourself who shout abuse at others after he plays well saying I told you so. Well done you! But we both know he hasn't done it regularly enough. Good job there's an ignore button. Adios happy clapper.
 
Big improvements this year compared to last year, if you check on websites his league stats they are pretty good actually( started 8 games, 5 goals, 4 assists, and 4 to 5 MoM performances). Consistency is a big issue for him, but actually even when he was in Leicester he used to have quite games but he did not have much competition there so he will start the next game, this is not new and this is what we paid for, if he can play every game like yesterday that will make him a 200M player not a 50M player. Another area of improvement for him is to score those tap-ins like Sterling often does, he tends to stay outside the six yards box when you can feel a cross in coming in.

Pep clearly explained it yesterday in the press conference the consistency issue, it has to do more with how we play as a team and how teams setup against us. I think he fits Peps vision, he will prefer to have four 50M players instead of one 200M player, that's why I don't think the Mbappe thing will ever happen while Pep is here. Overall I think he has a role to play in this team especially against teams that want to take a go at us and don't park the bus.
 
He did very well yesterday and it was great to see him finally going forward by challenging the fullback. I hope Pep starts him against Wolves as he need to continue like this. It's the only way he will find his form and consistency. No more stupid rotations please.

Although he did great, he still has to cut out a few behaviours where he seem more keen on doing things neatly instead of just playing easy. This is at 47 minutes, four against three, where KDB has all the space in front of him, and Mahrez feel that cutting inside here instead of just playing an easy throughball to Kevin seemed like a good idea. He still has to polish this because against better opposition, we won't get many chances and I hope they analyze stuff like this. It's criminal to not pass Kevin here as he comes running at fullspeed.

Would have pictures of the many actions where he left two or defenders looking for the ball? Thank you in advance.
