Good lad Mahrez

[Bluesince1979]

Not great that he missed. Hes been our pen taker now for a few and had seemed to have got past his few misses and was rifling them away.
might knock him this

I think the fact that he was the captain will weigh heavier than the missed penalty.

Absolutely no need to rush him back for Saturday.

We've got more than enough options. I'd give him the next week off

 

[DMA's]

Fair play to him. He is desperate to be apart of the squad tomorrow. Think pep will tell him to take it easy mind but still great to read he is so committed to the team.

 

[Whether or not]

I think you might be underestimating the mood of the Algerian nation and their sense of anti climax (remember how we felt after losing the Euro Final)

He'll be fine, but the Winter Break will help.

I agree. Having watched their 3 games, they played like the weight of expectation as defending champions was way too much for them. As captain Mahrez will particularly feel it I suspect, but hopefully the frustration felt will benefit us between now and May.

I guess he should be in quarantine for couple of days just to be safe?

 

[dickie davies]

I cannot see him starting for another 2 to 3 games

Three weeks!

Waiting for Van Dijk and Tuchel to say how lucky we are to get players back from AFCON so quick....

 

[Bobby the blue]

Good commitment that. I like mahrez. Best first touch of a ball in premier league history. The way he controls those 50 yard diags is something else. Noticed we tried it once or twice against Chelsea but without casting shade on Sterling his touch isn’t the same. Such a great outlet to have.

Great to have him back.

Methinks hes keen to get home to the new Mrs
