26 | Riyad Mahrez - 2021/22 Performances

Always thought nasri went under the radar for what he produced, yet mahrez for me is twice the player but gets twice the grief, always gotta be a scapegoat I guess

I always thought Mahrez would've been such a fan favourite if he was playing for us 15 years ago.

He would be another Kinkladze if it was 25 years ago.

Not sure he would at 16 ;-)

Personally, I’d be prepared to let him go to Barcelona or PSG or wherever if the right money came in. He has scored some goals, but he is a little one dimensional for me. Other than the right side of a front 3 he does not play well anywhere else from what I have seen and lacks the versatility of others in our squad. He’s 31, not overly quick and is one of our worst pressers / defensively. I do acknowledge that this year and for about 2-months last season he has scored some important goals, however i don’t think his all round game and contribution to the team is irreplaceable and I feel that some others, if given a consistent run in that position could have similar output (amd better all round performance)!and provide a little more defensively than what Mahrez brings. The above may not be popular, especially given his goal tally this season, however if we want a return for Mahrez, now would be the time.

Lots of whataboutism in your post. Mahrez’s overall play has been excellent and he tracks back very effectively now. His issue has been his selfishness at times but that’s completely different to saying he doesn’t have a good all round play (you said it isn’t irreplaceable, I disagree, city look completely lost at times without him)

Brave choice of mother in law.

Brave choice of mother in law.

A mother in law is a brave choice for any man though I know what you mean in this case.

 

[TheAlgerianMagician]

Well, hopefully he retires from the national team.

 

[RonnieColeman123]

Horrible referees. CAF makes fifa look benevolent. Some of the match fixing is just blatant and the Algeria-Cameroon game is not even the worst of it.

 

[Hart of the Matter]

Wtf. Some posters need to to take a good hard look at themselves. He is, was, and always has been one of most effective players.
Some 'happy' to see him and Sterling leave while bigging up every ordinary Grealish performance as world beating. This place is crazy.
