#26 | Riyad Mahrez - 2020/21 Performances

[Sky Blue Thinking]

He has the best first touch of anyone I've ever seen in nearly 50 years watching football

He has an amazing ability to control a ball travelling a distance or dropping from height.

He has an amazing ability to control a ball travelling a distance or dropping from height.

Or spinning. Or deflected. Or hit too hard. His first touch is so so good.

 

[Bobby the blue]

I think he's been playing really well this season. His technique and first touch are on a different level to most others.

 

[OB1]

Offers something different to his team mates.

Class is permanent .

Wow, fanboi much? Unfortunately Mahrez, although playing well at the moment has shown previous little of his current form in the 18 months prior to his little purple patch. Class may be permanent, his form isn't.

Can't deny he's playing well at the moment, but a little too early to be declaring FFS player of the centuty just yet.

 

[Metalartin]

He's been great recently. Is it me or has he been notably less selfish and started to rack up the assists from positions he normally would try and work a shot of his own from? He's even starting to show more fight in a City shirt on and off the ball which is a good sign in my opinion. What a player he can be if he can take a leaf out of Bernardo's book for effort for the team and desire to win.

 

[Badensbluemoon]

He is been so good this season, I love how classy he is on the field

 

[Blue Theatre]

Riyad's first-touch is a thing of beauty.

Said this for ages. It’s just ridiculous at times. One of a few players who make me just laugh out loud at their skill.

I've called him FFS for over a year now because I expect a better output and more goals and assists. Been superb the last month
