[yankblue]

Have said it before hundreds of times but will never, ever understand the hate he gets. Half the forum was saying Cole Palmer was better than him a few weeks back

That's what he can do when the handbrake is off.

Clearly both wingers were allowed to take more risks in the second half and while Grealish looked brighter, Mahrez was just on a whole other level.

Forget his goals tonight his work rate & body language was brilliant all match. Gives that every week he’s in my first 11

I know. Laughable

 

[OB1]

They said he shouldn't have had a new contract...

Well all you have to do is assess his 2nd half tonight against what’s gone before. There’s not a City fan on here that is unaware of how good he can be and in the 2nd half we saw it. Unfortunately, that 2nd half hasn’t been the norm from him, if it was, nobody would have a bad word to say about him.

Pep even said he was on holiday before the world cup.

He was shite.

This Mahrez found something in him, like a realization that he can toy with defenders if he wants, and be aggressive.

 

[skillman]

Some second half, that. Involved in all 4 goals.

The difference maker. Again.

 

[Goldust]

Hats off, I criticised him but boy he was good tonight. Showing the application with the ability he has and we have some player

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

He's stepped up massively. He was being carried before the world cup, now he's the one carrying. Brilliant.
