#26 | Riyad Mahrez - 2020/21 Performances

[Stelea]

Lazy bastard. Totally anonymous 1st half and garbage 2nd half. WTF was he going when he hit the byline and took the ball out? He was particularly shit when he played in a central role for 15 mins

 

[cjn]

Abysmal today, a total passenger.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Lived up to his nickname today, not a player to rely on.

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

Incredibly frustrating player to watch

Dear Riyad:

Thanks for replacing me as the most overrated City signing ever.

Your friend,
Wilfried

My dislike of Mahrez is very much on the record but to be honest...West Ham play 2 Left Backs in Masuaku and Cresswell, and Ogbonna is a left sided centreback, and Declan Rice is on that side too.

So I'm not really surprised at all that Mahrez did nothing in this game. I don't think anyone would have done much on that side of the pitch. When the formation changed up and we went into a more desperate attack mode he was much more effective and almost won it at the end, which I guess is why he stayed on.

For me the big problem was that Bernardo was playing his usual RW role and standing about 3 yards from Mahrez at all times. This is exactly what happened in the Porto game and it's fucking shite. So why didn't Pep fix it? Why was Bernardo not told to stay central, why was Mahrez not told to go wondering?

Anyway, my heart sinks every time I see him on the lineup, it just immediately saps 70% of my enthusiasm away for any game.

Hey, best young players in the world, sign for city and Sit on the bench to watch mahrez play every fucking week.

 

[Feed the Elk]

The sad thing is that he’s here to stay. No need for Pep to keep picking him there but he does every single fucking week.

Oh how I long for the days of Jesus fkn Navas

 

[BlueTG]

Back to Leicester, please.

 

[Blue Hefner]

How is lasted 90 minutes is beyond me. He simply isn’t consistent enough. A few good games and it looks like he’s cracked it then back to performances like today
