Riyad Mahrez - 2018/2019 performances

[deano ou812]

He just simply needs to pull the finger out and that starts tonight ..

Honest question karen, why do you think he didnt travel to Huddersfield ?

No idea,neither do you

If that penalty miss at Klansfield turns out to be the difference between the two teams at the end of the season I have a feeling he'll find out what it means to be unhappy.

And I thought it was Dippers who turned on their own.

Honestly had huge expectations on Mahrez, but he hasn't really lived up to it. I remember Pep said his ability to beat defenders one-on-one was one of his strength, but I find that both Sterling and Sané are more efficient in that department with their acceleration and pace. He is a good footballer but kind of disappeared in our star team.

He's been playing fine, just needs to mix it up a bit and go outside sometimes instead of always cutting inwards. Most are judging his penalty miss and thinking cheeky fooker with the comment of not enough play time.

He has been here all of 5 mins

Did you? That's absolutely fascinating.

You're not the first person to say this and it feels like people are quite looking forward to giving the guy a kicking over that penalty miss. Are we all going to blame the manager for insisting he take it?

We took 4 points off Liverpool this season. That's mission accomplished as far as that task is concerned. The two lacklustre performances over xmas against Palace and Leicester are what hurt us and those are the games that could cost us the league title. We lost those games thanks to a couple of world class goals but we didn't properly turn up in either of them. The selection of John Stones at DM set the tone for a pretty anaemic performance from the off and I think we left it too long to change things up in that game.

As for Mahrez, he hasn't consistently hit the level required for us yet but there's still time.

Fair play, but if his bottom lip is going he can fuck off.
