#26 | Riyad Mahrez - 2020/21 Performances

[Ashleymcduff]

Every player starting 11 and subs shit their pants

 

[Mr HJ]

So you think that Bernardo, KDB, Foden and Sterling were better than him tonight ???

Yes I think our two wide men were the main problem tonight. Raheem should have not played but I think Pep gambled on him having a big night and once again his second touch was a tackle and like his recent form he failed. As for Riyad it wasn't his best game, he could not shake Chilwell off and in the first half in particular I would say he was very ineffectual. We created nothing on our right and that is why I was disappointed - Recently he has been superb at finding pockets of space he just didn't tonight. Maybe credit goes to Chelsea as they marked him very tightly. I thought Foden played ok although I think he would have been better playing where Sterling was cutting past players. Bernardo had a very quiet game and played too much sideways. Kev still created our best chance and I thought he had to put up with some cynical challenges. Just gutted but tomorrow I will look back on what has been another really good season.

At least realised KDB Foden Sterling were on tbr pitch.

Ok enlighten me where exactly you thought we lost the game.

 

[Gundog’s Gundog]

He was well marshalled by Chilwell tonight and it’s not a criticism of Riyadh but he doesn’t have the turn of pace to keep the defender honest in a game like tonight where the defender is getting touch tight to him. Anyone who saw Mahrez absolutely destroy Chilwell at our place a couple of years ago would have to pay grudging respect to the progress he’s made since joining Chelsea

After building up the level of his performances round by round in the CL this season, Riyad was bullied tonight. He showed a proper meek side to his makeup, poor to see.

Can’t stand him, feel like every time he scores it kind of dilutes my hate for him in our team but it never fully goes. Just don’t see anything from him when the going is tough, more like he adds a cherry on top but that’s useless when we don’t play well as a team

 

[GaudinoMotors]

I'm turning inside, just toe the ball away.

 

[Metal Biker]

After such great progress in the past few months it just pains me that he contributed little tonight.

He had recaptured our hearts.
