The combination of him and Vardy was as dangerous a combo as the Prem has ever seen.
Mahrez playing through the lines to a dashing Vardy in behind.

Would be delightful if we can see something similar here.

Not sure we’ll ever see it though. I’m in agreement with many, could be his last season with us.

I’m trying to say it’s better to have someone taking a penalty who wants to as opposed to someone being forced to take one. He’d still be in Peps first 5

For sure, but how would you know what the others are thinking? Or what Pep's current thinking is?

Mahrez has been spectacular for us, too. He has just lost a step over the past two years, or maybe two steps. And his confidence probably isn't as high as it used to be.

But if his success rate is as poor as it actually is then why would you let him take a penalty let alone want him to? At the next penalty we win if he steps up to take it then whoever is the captain that day needs to step in and tell him to stand down. A number of our players are the elite of world football. Surely one of them can step up and score from 10 yards out? Anyone can miss a penalty that is agreed. It has always happened and it always will. However an 80% strike rate should be the very least.

So why don’t any of these elite players step forward and stop him?
 
I think Mahrez is done, age has caught up with him all of a sudden.

Seems to have lost a yard of pace and because of that he doesn't have the option of taking the defender on the outside, he's always cutting in and then recycling the ball into midfield.

He's very predictable now, easy for defenders to play against.

I don't think he will be here next season

Obviously I can’t know what anyone else is thinking but in my opinion he’d be in the first 5 for a shoot out based on he’s a regular penalty taker

Fair enough, but you can't say because others aren't keen to stepping up.
 
Decent goal at the end doesn’t cover up from what was a shockingly bad performance at times.

5Live commentators pointed out several times how Pep was getting incredibly angry at him on the touchline, didn’t have a great view of it from TV but I’m sure some posters who were in the stadium will be on later.
 
First touch a joy to watch as always and a lovely finish. Hopefully boosts his confidence a bit.

Lol, so you are saying a shockingly bad performance based on radio commentary... YCNMIU....
 
Classic Mahrez goal after the game is won.

Hopefully he kicks on from this but I would still prefer to see Palmer in his position as it stands.

No I watch the game with radio commentary so I don’t have to listen to BT commentators…the clue was when I said “didn’t have a great view from TV” which I thought gave away the fact I was watching on tv…

Don’t tell me you thought he played well?
 
He was abysmal again. Nice finish for the goal but nobody should be fooled by that.

He has moments in every game. Whether it’s a pen, or his chance tonight. Some people judge him solely on those moments. He misses…he’s shit. He scores…he’s great. Others judge him on overall performance and impact on the team and both have been dire all season.

Hopefully his goal tonight kickstarts his season but I wouldnt put any money on it.

I think once the games start to have more on the line we will see the better version of mahrez appear. Seems to me since he has got his new contract he is lacking a bit in motivation. He usually turns it on in the champions league and it’s no surprise seeing as it’s the only club trophy he hasn’t won.

That said thought he had a decent game tonight but for sure he can do more
