26 | Riyad Mahrez - 2022/23 Performances

[SebastianBlue]

That was a FFS masterclass.

When the second half of the season comes around, he'll come alive. I know it!

 

[Chak19]

Destroyed them in the second half, his best ever performance for us and one the best from anyone in a City shirt in a long time, this probably means Pep will bench him on Sunday.

 

[DATOIA]

Since "World Cup" pause he is our best attacking player without any doubt..

I would even say best player in the team, but Rodri is untouchable in that term..

 

[I'm With Stupid]

If you have that level in your locker, why the fuck are you spending most of each game facing our goal and passing it backwards? That 2nd half was nothing short of sensational, absolute world class level that was. If he played like that most week, he would be my favourite player. There are few words for how fucking good he was in that 2nd half.

Let's be honest though, playing like that is a higher risk strategy. There were definitely times where a bad pass would have massively exposed us. But obviously if you're already losing, you've got nothing to lose. When we got to 3-2, we went back to the more controlled style of play.

He’s just said “we ( him and Jack) tried to be more direct and aggressive with the ball”. That’s the key. Stop fucking passing backwards and go at the full back.

You’re right but they are wide forwards in a front 3. It’s borderline ridiculous that our wide men spend more time facing our goal than the oppositions. At our best we are the best side in the this league and possibly the world, why would we be shit-scared of anyone? Why would this team, under this manager be worried about teams that are massively inferior to us? Every now and again, it would go against us, just like it did in 17/18 and 18/19 but just like those seasons, most of the time we would fucking destroy whoever is in front of us.

Fucking Fully Sublime

 

[Stelea]

You still look like a right clown. Take that.

Have done before and probably will again. I’m sure Mr Mahrez isn’t a member of BM and I will get by despite my shame.

 

[Brad mcfc]

Both finishes just world class.

Ice cold to deal with the pressure and finish both of them and make it look easy.
