Riyad Mahrez - 2018/2019 performances

[Colin Bells Boots]

I don't think anyone can make a case that he's been anything other than ordinary since he joined us. A couple of times you think it's starting to click but the next time he plays he is anonymous again.

He can't be written off on this basis however (especially as he cost 60 mill) but I'm not expecting much more out of him this season. Next season will be different as serious questions will need to be asked if he doesn't hugely improve.

He isn't the first expensive signing who has not taken off immediately .

Hopefully he will get more accustomed to what Pep wants from him and start to show his quality.

Underwhelmed is the best I can say about him , slows us down as well .

Agreed - but what is a fact is that he needs to get a lot better than he currently is. If that happens next season and he becomes a key player then I will be delighted.

what I've seen of him seems he aint a leader doent take charge the amount of free kicks we have around the opposition box where he goes over has chat and then walks away with his tail between his legs! He need grow a pair take charge/responsibility of a game

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

I think what I’ve seen of him so far is mediocre needs to up is game big time.

Riyad Mahrez: "When you arrive the first six months it's always difficult to adapt to everything. I'm very good. I'm still new to the team. I think more months are going to pass and I'm going to be better."

Didn't he say that quote a few month's ago Kaz?

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

Gash most of the time. Luxury signing who is lucky we went back in for him after failing to land him in Jan. Given that we did, you'd think he'd put in a bit of an effort and a few decent performances.

If you outlay the amount of money we did for Mahrez he should be pushing to start games. He has shown nothing so far to suggest he is any better than Sterling or Sane.

By signing him we’ve also stunted Diaz’ development and opportunities who we look like losing to Madrid in the summer.

His play is all to predictable with him checking back inside to deliver a cross that is easier for a centre half to attack.

Our most expensive signing can't get a place in our starting eleven !
