Riyad Mahrez - 2018/2019 performances

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

pull your finger out lad you have loads of potential so knuckle down and show us all why we paid all that money for you

 

[Blue Til Death]

Bernardo Silva wasn’t great in his first season but he’s awesome now and really settled into the City groove, confident Mahrez will do the same and be just fine, he has the talent in abundance but he’s finding it hard to be a smaller fish than the MEG he was at Leicester. Lets give the lad the same time and patience to adjust... We owe him that much ...

 

[SWP's back]

Hindsight eh.

Yeah from us it is. Not from Dortmund, they scouted properly, for them it was foresight.

Probably why their scouts and director of football get paid decent money. Not as much as ours like, but decent all the same.

So this topic has grown to 17 pages on the revelation that a football player who is not playing is reportedly unhappy that he's not playing.

You might be able to criticise his performances but really you can't criticise him for wanting to play.

 

[SWP's back]

Like tied him up and kept him in a room until he signed a new contract?

No, like played him a bit and shown him a route to the first team.

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Not alot of sympathy on here for our record buy.

Which is a bit sad and hopefully very premature to write him off this early.

I’ve said it before, he’s a £60m signing in the current marketplace. The fee is kind of irrelevant.

Sane and Sterling are currently easily worth DOUBLE that.

He’s been signed to provide competition and I’m sure it was hoped he would move up to a new level of performance. That’s not happened (yet) but ala Bernardo he might just get with the Pep Program and become an integral part of the squad.

I hope he does because he has fantastic ability.

Head up Riyad lad, and prove the doubters wrong!

To add, there is nothing in the article suggesting Riyad has said or done anything major. That said, Pep has made a statement with his actions, it’s up to Riyad to respond in the right fashion.

In my day that would be adopting a “I’ll fucking show you” attitude in training and on the pitch.

 

[Jordie]

No, like played him a bit and shown him a route to the first team.

Imo he will be like Suarez who left us a couple of years ago for Barca and is now on his way out of there. Only time will tell with them two and Sancho also.

Yeah from us it is. Not from Dortmund, they scouted properly, for them it was foresight.

I agree but no one knew that Sancho would develop into a top player so soon. I suspect Diaz may start ripping up trees at Madrid once he's settled in.

 

[avoidconfusion]

Not arsed to be honest. I don't understand why we bought him to begin with and since he joined he has not set the world on fire if I am honest and I still think he was a dick for missing the penalty against Liverpool.

 

[inchy14]

We want people who are happy to take their turn on the bench!

That I’ll accept but I don’t want them to be happy sitting there or not even in the squad, I want our players to WANT to play every minute but accept they need to rotate.
