26 | Riyad Mahrez - 2022/23 Performances

[Deleted member 81382]

His first touch, close control and dribbling were all immaculate today.

When he combines all three with a willingness to run at defenders he's almost unplayable.

when he looks interested, he is really good. good game today

He's underrated by many on here I feel.

Yet again he deliverys

He is a different player when he attacks full backs. It’s criminal to have that level of ability and not use it.

He's not given license to do so and it certainly has something to do with the manager's instructions and his ideas about not losing the ball. It's a very different Mahrez than the one who helped us winning the PL in 2015/16.

It's criminal that he's never allowed to use his flair and magic at Man City. He's just a puppet who strictly follows Pep's instructions now.

 

[Constantine]

Exactly, his game has lost that flair, freedom, rebellion, outrage, street smartness and joy. We see some glimpses on rare occasions. He has totally surrendered his soul to managerial and marital establishments.

Oh well, there is always those old videos on Youtube.

I was preferring Foden to start but im leaning more towards Mahrez now on Wednesday, he just has something in his locker to open the game up.

He very much does,but he is just as likely to go missing.

In fairness he has shown better appetite and bite of late,so hopefully that is the version we see on Wed should he get the nod.
