#26 | Riyad Mahrez - 2020/21 Performances

[Craig]

you're FFS, you've had 7 touches when 2 would do. Do you...

(a) stop, do a flick/step over and then pass back to Bernie.
(b) chip a ball into the box for a defender to easily head away.
(c) chip a ball over the top that skips harmlessly out of play.
(d) Take 10 more touches, dribble into the box and get harmlessly dispossessed by a bottom half level defender.

Fucking hell mate, I get you probably can’t stand him but he had a very decent game tonight and worked hard too.

Grew into the game and was good in the second half. Unlucky with the ruled out goal

 

[ninjamonkey]

Why would your first thought be to come and bash Mahrez after tonight's game? Take away any personal hatred and he had a very good game tonight. Looked threatening, few things were just the smallest percentage from coming off and him having a stormer. Can't complain about him tonight could easily have come away with a goal and a few assists.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Admittedly my attention span is shit but I thought he played well tonight.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Much better,the appetite was far improved and his link play very good.

His first touch is a thing of beauty.

Still not the long term answer though.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

I thought he was decent enough tonight, but I wish he would get his fucking head up. The pass/cross to Gundogan for the non-pen, was on for him about 20 times.

 

[mccity]

He's better when he's patient. Same goes for the rest of the team though, which I think is a big reason for the uptick our form lately.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

His first touch is a thing of beauty.

I've just come here to say the same. I don't think I've ever seen a touch like his, on the run and out of the sky.
It's like a butterfly landing on a baby.

I thought he was very good yesterday and I hope this continues for as long as possible. Before yesterday I would have preferred Sterling to start against Pool but it’s not an easy choice now,
