26 | Riyad Mahrez - 2022/23 Performances

[Don Karleone]

think hes got enough in the bank for us to not slag him off but barring a complete turnaround in form hes definately getting himself into the sterling bracket of one whos time is almost up in this team.

I think we're closer to that territory today.

 

[K-Bo]

It really feels like his last season at city, and yet he just renewed for two more years lol.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

If this fella has anything about him, he will give his wages to charity.

That 60mins he was on the pitch was an absolute disgrace. No more excuses for him…no more “oh well we attack a lot down the left”, or “he doesn’t have a full back to help him”. The biggest thing he doesn’t have is a set of balls. Standing on the right wing with his finger up his arse week in week out for £200k pw must be the easiest job in world football and I am sick of watching it.

 

[Lavinda Past]

The club should make Mahrez pay for parking and entrance to the ground. He'd be more useful serving on the concourse than he is on the pitch.

Useless. Again. How many times must he turn in a shit performance before Pep gives up on him?

 

[Kamaro011]

Getting Sterling treatment, not saying he is been all good this season but the treatment for him from some fans is appaling.

 

[nellyonthewing]

One of our most talented players and the most reluctant to share it.

 

[Cobra]

Getting Sterling treatment, not saying he is been all good this season but the treatment for him from some fans is appaling.

His performances have been even more appalling

 

[Trojan1962]

Has become a liability recently. Needs to up his game when he starts. Definite frostiness from Pep when he was taken off today

 

[Kamaro011]

His performances have been even more appalling

Doesn't matter, he doesn't deserved it.

 

[mosssideblue]

Offering little atm

 

[K-Bo]

Doubt he'll play till the dead rubber vs Sevilla now tbh.

 

[Georgian Maestro]

Shite. Will go down as one of our most talented yet ineffective players. Thanks for the memories but time to go in the summer

 

[FantasyIreland]

We got what the majority expected today,the bloke is on easy street.

 

[Mr HJ]

Nearly cost us the game with that bad miss - no doubt he scores that if we were 4-0 up. Then made it worse by giving a poor foul away in a dangerous position. We looked more alive & balanced once we put Phil on which tells us a lot.

For the Mahrez fan group that always say to me in recent matches "Well Kev also had a quiet game" you look at the important moments, just at the right time that Kev gives you even when he's not at his best. That 3rd goal today was key as Brighton were really coming at us - instantly killed the game - that's why he earns the big bucks.

There is clearly something on his mind and I do know form is temporary etc but I think he really needs a spell out to regain his focus - we will need all of the squad and there is no doubting a Mahrez on form gives us something but those moments feel few and far between this year.

 

[Stelea]

Awful and can’t do anything right

 

[malg]

Wasn't his best day today.

 

[carlosthejackal]

Looks unfit and totally disinterested

 

[super_city_si]

Time he was behind Palmer in the pecking order.

 

[Gobshiight]

I think our best front three is set in stone, but surely Palmer is due a chance when Foden / Grealish need resting. Does Mahrez really offer much more right at this moment?

Having said that, I thought he had a good first half, so he can still come good. Desperately needs to get in shape

 

[Lavinda Past]

Getting Sterling treatment, not saying he is been all good this season but the treatment for him from some fans is appaling.

Sterling contributed more during the half time break than Mahrez has been during games this season.

A blatant 'down tools' performance today. Shocking.
