100%. Have said it for years. He basically does nothing of any note for most of any game. But he plays wide right in arguably the best side in the world. It’s inevitable he will get moments. Today was just a prime example. His overall performance was a disgrace but he gets his one, big moment. He scores and everyone loves him…his goal involvement record 100% gets a mention, or how he has more G/A per min than Salah. That kind of nonsense. However he fluffed his lines and then he becomes a prime target because it’s almost unheard of that he has a missed moment, but has the fallback of having had a great game overall. I can remember loads of great Mahrez moments…I can’t remember too many great Mahrez games overall.Probably means when he was though at the death at the Etihad. Should have passed it to Foden but can forgive him for not seeing how easy the pass was in the heat of the moment, but he absolutely should have scored himself as well, no excuse not putting it past Alisson. Mahrez biggest problem is that he gets judged on these moments because that is what he is. A moments player. He is a passenger for far too many big games
