Just scored an absolutely brilliant goal. First touch was ridiculously good
Was a good goal,wouldn't say brilliant !
Defending leaves a lot to be desired there as well

his first touch is something else, when the ball is fired out to him you know hes going to control it
His ability to take down those long high balls with his 1st touch is up there with the best I've personally seen.his first touch is something else, when the ball is fired out to him you know hes going to control it
You obviously don’t like him but to say that wasn’t brilliant is just silly. Put it this way I doubt anyone else in our squad could have done what he did with that first touch and then finish it off with his right foot so we’ll.Was a good goal,wouldn't say brilliant !

THe difference between Mahrez scoring this goal, and Mahrez doing his usual get the ball, step-over, fuck up for City is that he's playing Zimbabwe.
He's a professional footballer playing against semi-pros. He's stronger, fitter and faster than them. Against a premier league defender, the initial flick is likely cleared up, but if not, they just show him down the outside instead of falling for the cut inside that no one in this countries fallen for since 2018.
The defender he beats is a backup for Notts County in the conference.
Now there is something to be said for knocking in a nice goal against amateurs, but with Mahrez it just means we suffer when he spends the next game trying to recreate it vs. Spurs.

That was an obvious reply,but each to their own,Zimbabwe's free kick is what you call a brilliant goal however.
Back to Mahrez,always has had the touch,but not so much the finish,unlike others in our squad

Hopefully this isn't removed off of Twitter
WOW!
He can be frustrating from time to time but when all is said and done, the guy's a wizard with the ball at his feet. Goals like that are why I fell in love with football before VAR stole it away from me.
