Jack Grealish

They are both exceptional players.

Agreed!

Agreed!

Some folks think Grealish is a cheat, a diver, a snide etc. Will you speak to this? What say you?

I would say Mahrez is the best dribbler I have seen. He has got an unbelievable ability to take a ball down and control it with one touch on the run. It took a long time for Mahrez to settle at City because at Leicester he would have the freedom to roam and he didn't have to do the dirty work.

Foden has got everything in his game. Fearless and direct. He will get better. I hope there are more like him in City's youth team.

I would say Messi is better than Mahrez when it comes to dribbling.

Marvin doesnt rate messi

This is dribbling. Foden destoyed some of the best in the business. Pay particular attention around the 36 second mark where you will see him ride heavy tackles in quick succession, summat Grealish never does.

I'd forgotten myself just how damn good he is.

No but he called it bang on about Sanchez when most on here had a terrific hard on for the shite Liberace coming here. But every dog has its day ;-)

Mahrez was an absolute beast in 15/16. A lot more minutes played though, to be fair

1) His per 90 stats in 19/20 were better than Grealish's last season in terms of xA, Chances created, dribbles leading to shot creating actions, fouls drawn that led to a shot attempt, and probably more. He was really underrated that season. He was unlucky that De Bruyne had an incredible season that year and beat him out.


2) I don't have those stats on the 15/16 to the same detail, but I'm willing to accept those were better than his later Leicester stats. In which case, my bad. But boy was he good then.

I'm using fbref.com to be clear.

Agreed on both points. Mahrez has had a very respectable output for us for at least the last two seasons, certainly much better than his last two seasons at Leicester. He was utterly superb in their title-winning season though, and hasn't consistently hit quite those heights since

Indeed, but he plays in La Liga. The question was who was the best dribbler in the Premier League. Past and present.

 

[spacecadet]

Mahrez has incredible ball control. Doesn't matter how high, how hard, his first touch is up with the best ever.
