Yeah I suppose you could look at 6 month old results, or you could just look at the shit shows that were Southampton, Chelsea and Arsenal in the FA Cup to see 3 perfect examples of us not breaking down a parked defence with Mahrez in Foden's place - because actually, Mahrez checking back inside and slowing the game down isn't that helpful when you're against a set defence and Foden's much faster game works.

Agree, I've noticed this as well.

Against packed and deep sitting defences Mahrez can do a job on the wing.

Disagree, against those teams, we have been shut out 6 times this year, Mahrez started 5 of those.

That is a really tough call. But I prefer Mendy, just.

After 3 games there cancel looksuch better. Decisions, balance and first touch alluch better and he'll be fitter. Saying that, mend had his best game for is last time he played. I just trust cancel more defensivly

2-1 City if the game goes ahead. Heard nothing on the beeb site yet about it, but the motd theme tune is 50 years old today, get fucking in.

Why wouldn’t the match go ahead?
