#26 | Riyad Mahrez - 2020/21 Performances

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Amazing and one of our absolute key players this season, one of many but still

 

[domalino]

His work rate and effort in the two PSG ties were absolutely next level. I don't know if it's because he's a Parisian and it just meant a bit more, or if he's just desperate to keep his place, or thinks this is his last big chance to win the CL with the club obviously pursuing Messi, but I don't care! I just hope he's got 1 more game left at that level.

I would imagine he's nailed down his place for the final tonight.

Incredible and has been for most of the season.

Think many at the start of the season would of said he was most likely to be sold at the end of this season if any of the front players would go, well he's unsellable now.

Of course he's got the skill and the confidence, but I can't overstate the work this guy puts in, to being a player who didn't seem to fit in the system during his first season, to a vital cog that scored 3 of our 4 goals in the champs league semi.

He's a baller and I love him.

That only happened in the head of some fans tbf.

Pep ain't a lunatic and it takes at least two seasons for his players to assimilate his system.

Ramadan Riyad is the best winger in the world

Took deserved criticism and now deserves all the praise in the world , he contributes so much more now he fights for every ball and is a sublime footballer , a lot of credit to Pep for his perseverance , he noticed something a some of us missed.

Everyone talking about Neymar & Mbappe before the game.

Mahrez:

I take it all back, last month or so it’s obvious he has pulled his finger out and great to see he does actually care too

 

[ninjamonkey]

Brilliant again. Really bought into the defensive side with the defence, bernardo and others. you can see his face light up with pride when one of the other players praises him for some fine defensive work and it's spurring him on even more. Undroppable

He said last week he prefers the games coming thick and fast, looks like he benefits from being in a rhythm.

I never thought I'd say it but some of his displays this year have made him undroppable. He has completely transformed his game defensively too. I think he has possibly took longer to settle in and Sterling's drop in form has given him the time to build his confidence and find his feet. What a fantastic player Mahrez is and full credit to him.
