Riyad Mahrez - 2018/2019 performances

[mccity]

Is it not reasonable to suggest that reason he wasn't brought on was that Bernardo, Jesus, and Gundogan are all equally capable of being fantastic players who can change a game at the drop of a hat?

How was it telling? his form is bad and, had he had brought him on Ric would have needed additional servers

His form isn't bad though,he might not be a contender for player of the season but he's contributing well when he gets the chance.His form is certainly no worse than that of Merlin,Sane or Sterling.

Why is it? his goals and assists are good as are gabby's but he didn't start either,we needed help in the middle so gundy and bernie came on and we needed a goal and gabby is the striker,you can bend it anyway you want as you are obsessed with us buying him and you didn't like it,blame pep for wanting him and not the player

As others have said, look at the context for his goals and who he scored against. As the clubs record purchase he should be doing much better.

Not sure why you and Mossideblue get all upset whenever anyone says any criticism of him.

What he costs is not his fault,he is learning a new way to play whilst contributing to the goals and assists,the idea he can just hit the ground running because he cost so much is rather naive,it can take a whole season to learn peps style and the intensity of it,you would think he would be given time ,people who right new player off look rather stupid later on

I dont get upset and I have criticised him when he has played badly, but there is criticism and outright vitriol.

What is telling today is that he never played last night and he has pages of "fans" calling him shit, yet when we win and he hasn't played, his thread is usually left alone - wonder why that is?

Save this post as a template, it'll keep you from typing it out again in the Gundogan, Walker, Jesus, Sterling, Silva, Danilo, Delph, Zinchenko, Mendy, and Otamendi threads at various stages this season ;)

Not sure anyone is giving him vitriol.

When we lose it brings into focus that he was bought to really kick us on and be even better than last season and that has failed to materialise.

I suggest you read through the thread.

Vitriol is putting it kindly.
