26 | Riyad Mahrez - 2022/23 Performances

He moans when he’s not selected then turns in a non performance again.

You know exactly the game you are going to get in the first 5 minutes. Sadly, not a good one today.

Too weak in the 50/50 challenges and made no real effort to tackle imo. Too much passing backwards.

He won 4 tackles against Fulham. Our next highest player won 2

I don’t think it was a 10/10 performance from Mahrez or anything but let’s at least stick to what happened

Yes, for me it was one of those performances which looked average on the eyes but stats tell a better, and likely more accurate story.

It wasn’t Mahrez’s best game yesterday but for sure he was far better than people say here.

He got an assist, he gave a good pass to Alvarez leading to the penalty. He gave a very good pass to Gundogan who shot on the goalkeeper. And also a long ball to Haaland but unfortunately Haaland control wasn’t good enough to try to score.
And he cameback at least twice defensively, making good tackles and gaining the ball back (once was after losing the ball).

But I’m not saying he had a wonderful game, just he wasn’t as bad as people say.

Of course I’d love to see Mahrez play every time like he did against Liverpool or the 2nd half against Tottenham. But no worries he is still able to do that and he will be very important for us for the last remaining games of the season.

He helped win us a penalty in first 5 minutes :) Fulham were really good and denied him any sort of space but despite that he had a decent game

Bit of a stretch lol.

 

[Sir peace frog]

seems to have a bit extra in the champions league, can see him getting the crucial goals when needed .

Thought it was Alverez who won the penalty?

Well from watching he should have won more, I don’t look at players and think they should have done better for no reason. Let’s face it, most people felt he had a shit game.

The goal assist was a nothing pass aswell, Julian had to do all the work, wasn’t as if it was put in a plate for him.
