Mahrez is a integral player in our squad. I honestly don't understand why people are so desperate to ship him out.
There is so much more to his game than finding the net. For a start, the opposition will 9 times out of 10 double up on him which then opens up space for others, so even if his play is not directly leading to a goal his presence on the pitch is still contributing to the outcome of the game.
He also plays the percentages very well. His touches are often risky, but the reward is always positive if they come off. Also in the position he plays on the pitch, him losing the ball is rarely costly.
