Riyad Mahrez - 2018/2019 performances

There were two occasions in the second half he did well, one time he took Dummit on the outside and put a cross in and the other he took two players with him and slipped a ball outside to Walker who put a good cross in.

Other than that he did the same thing fifteen odd times and was read like a nursery book by their defenders. Poor for the most part and disappointing to see.

He painfully slowed the play down too much, he doesn’t make himself available for a quick break (which he was good at at Leicester) and his pressing from the front needs to improve.

Struggling to find his identity in this team. Needs to find his role quickly as when we have a full compliment to choose from he may find himself confined to a substitutes role. I'm sure he will work it out but for me yesterday was not so good as he lacked the dynamic forward play I was expecting, opting for the basic slower pass instead. But as others have said it's very early days. One thing is painfully clear - we are a different proposition with Kev in the side so once he returns I can see everything clicking into the well oiled wrecking ball of a team we are.
 
He will be fine in around 2 months once he gets to grips to how Pep wants him to play and yesterday he was a solid 6.7/10
 
Thought he would hit the ground running especially as coming from PL.

However us and Leicester do play a lot different.

Amazing the difference when Silva came on.

We need to show patience and he needs chances but I think Silva needs to be starting
 
He's not had a great start at all but it does bode well that we will have Kevin and Mahrez firing us on post Christmas
