I might get crucified for this but Riyad is *effective* even if he's not flashy except his first touch. He can dribble, he can keep the ball, he can set people up.
The only thing is he goes through periods where when one thing is successful, he goes to it too much and becomes predictable.
Sorta like his first season sucked till the last day when he adapted and made a fool of the defender and padded the then 1 goal lead with a brilliant dribble and goal.
He learned to use that and had very good 2nd, third years for us where he took us to the CL final, in the 4th year (last year), he was the leading scorer and pen taker but he became predictable by always cutting inside.
That's why his season sucked till he adapted and showed a different side in the last game. As long as he keeps adapting he is effective!
I've always thought Mahrez and Laporte get unwanted hated, they're both really good.
Mahrez always worked good in tandem with Foden, Jesus and KDB. Currently KDB is in a funk, and Foden is being rested and Grealish isn't getting goals. Which means Mahrez and Haaland will get double teamed. Need 1 other player fit and firing and then it'll unlock the others!
