I think it’s a bit early in the season to decide Mahrez will be a bit part player. He had a really good season last year, good pre season, poor at Spurs with about 9 others and has looked superb in his 2 sub appearances since. Fair play to Jesus he’s had 2 really good games on the right but let’s wait a little longer and see him do it against a half decent team before we go hyperbole.Not announced yet but he’ll win our first player of the month. I expect him to play first choice and Riyad to get the cup games / 30 minute token subs after the break. That’s our modus operandi.
Same for laporte over stones.
My bad. It was unintentional hyperbole. Jesus did get the PotM as deserved. I meant that he should retain his position after the break and then we go from there. It’s a weird reversal as Jesus was always first choice in group stage CL games and usually came off the bench for the prem. I’d like to see Jesus getting the starts in the prem and Mahrez getting 60/30 of the minutes in the CL. With gabby getting 30/60 in the leipzigI think it’s a bit early in the season to decide Mahrez will be a bit part player.

Good cameo. Some nice through balls and a goal.
