26 | Riyad Mahrez - 2022/23 Performances

[sir baconface]

Summary of the thread: a useful squad player with excellent technical skills but deficient in balls and consistency. Not someone to depend on.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Yes. Can we please not do that thing where just because a player's been crap we pretend they're out of position? It's like when United fans started saying Rashford isn't a natural striker.

Lol

 

[snorky]

The only reason City fans have suddenly started pretending Grealish isn't a left winger is because they can't think of a single other excuse for his lack of output.

Once more, I wasn't, and I was just asking a question in good faith.
I make no excuses, but I still don't think he was crap second half.
Just my opinion.

He really annoys me when he's playing and he puts no effort on defensively. The ball is in the air and he doesn't even jump for it. It's lazy play. At least make an effort

I don't think anyone is saying that Jack was crap second half. The problem is that his second half against Leeds, right after an awful first 45, was probably his best half for us ever.

Man, I must not be watching the same games but whenever I watch Mahrez play, seems to me that he puts in as much shift as anyone else. I also don't think Pep is one to suffer anyone who's not chipping in defensively.

Thought he had a much better game than in midweek, but clearly him and Grealish in the same team just doesn't work purely on the basis that neither of them are likely to get you a goal

Mahrez scored 24 last season and already has 5 this season.

The only one that isn't likely to get you a goal is Grealish.

Will never ever put a foot in,and today putting a foot in was needed,a lot

 

[Delphinho]

Great assist, but should have been subbed off at 60
