#26 | Riyad Mahrez - 2020/21 Performances

[Stelea]

Wonderful performance today and over the last month. I think that is the 1st positive post I have made about him. Hopefully many more

A top talent and one of our very best for a couple of months now.

Two magical goals from him and he was only a few inches away from making that three.

He's so infuriating precisely because we know he's capable of that level when in form. Which unfortunately is around 25% of the time.

I always think with the way Mahrez plays, it’s a fine line between him being lauded or abused. Take his 2 goals tonight.

The 1st he has runners off him but goes alone. If the shot is blocked or goes wide/over it’s “FSS Mahrez, you greedy twat” but it flys in the corner and it’s “wow, what a goal”.

The 2nd, he seems to hold on for an eternity, and it half looked like the chance had gone. Then he pulls out a ridiculous finish.

I think most games his overall performance levels are pretty similar, and how we perceive him depends on these 2 or 3 big moments in games. When it goes for him like tonight, it looks like we have a real player on our hands. When the moments don’t go his way, he looks selfish and not a team-player. For the 1st few months of the season, more certainly went against than for him. The last month or so, the moments have been going his way. Long may it continue.

We know his quality but he used to turn up once every six games , he is doing in nearly every game now , absolutely brilliant player on his day , and we are getting more of those days.

Brilliant AGAIN

How many points has he won us now?

 

[CmonCity92]

He's doing what Salah/Mane have failed to do recently and that's take over games and get the team points. He's won us a lot of points in the league with his goals this last month.

He was arguably our 2nd best player last season.. And he's moving up the list this season.. He's brilliant and that's why it's frustrating when he goes missing for like a month at a time or the see-sawing between World class one week then useless the next. The only thing he lacks in his game is consistency.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Wonderful finisher in that far corner.

 

[WestGorton]

Brilliant today. I think winning player of the month was a spur for him. He was on Messi level with the two goals.
