Riyad Mahrez - 2018/2019 performances

[pudge]

Jack Gaughan seems to be in competition with Sam Lee for most articles about unhappy City players.

It seems you're all buying it though.

The correlation between those who believe Mahrez is a "clown" and their high regard for who he keeps out of the team is no surprise.

No idea if it’s true or not, but Jack Gaughan is generally a decent journalist, and not one prone to just make stuff up. If there is something in it though, I can’t imagine Guardiola would take kindly to that.

Gaughan was also first one to report Puma deal negotiations back in November 2017. I think he gets decent info

Doesn't sound like Mahrez. He has been exemplary and a team player. Utter bullshit like so many things said about him and some of our other players by these click-baiters with no scruples.

although I doubt anything any pundit says on social media, If those comments are true, I’d be surprised if he’s around much longer.
Plus didn’t he come out recently in an interview and state the opposite? That he’s knows he has to fight?

I think this is a shit stirrer who has smelt blood

IF Gundogan willing to leave, then Mahrez can fill in there.

As you have made a comment that makes no sense to the majority of us.....Please provide your reasoning as to why you believe Mahrez can perform the same role as Gundogan.

So not only has he been shit, but he's openly complaining about not playing enough because he deserves more.



Goodbye.

My thoughts exactly. Regardless of who you are it takes time to get used to how we play and that goes for any player - even bernado was used similar in his first season, did he start griping about his technical ability warranting more starts

If mahrez is doing this then Pep should boot him out the door

 

[BLUE THUNDER]

He wants more time on the pitch doe he ? Is this so he can make up for jumping the que and taking the missed penalty at Liverpool ?
Tells you a lot about him.

He's bang average !

Pep showed Deco, Ronaldinho & Eto'O the door at Barcelona so I doubt very much that he will hesitate on Mahrez. Truth is, I believe he has failed to live up to expectations anyway and that there is a degree of buyer's remorse with him despite not being a poor acquisition. Riyad simply hasn't been the protagonist enough when given opportunities to be decisive.

Considering his absence in the run of biggest matches tells you quite a bit about how much trust Pep has in him. The right offer/suitor comes in, would be a good move for all involved to part ways IMO - even across town to United

It's probably bullshit. Preys on the preconception people have of him as a lazy, arrogant type.

He's not been good enough to warrant more games with only 6 goals and 3 assists in his 13 league starts so far. But the idea of him complaining about game time is probably made up. Just remember that before jumping to conclusions.
