Just needs a couple of full matches now he is used to the system. Coming on as a sub disrupts any players game.
 
I thought he looked to be trying to take more responsibilty to create when he came on.

If he keeps doing that rather than just turning inside playing nothing passes or lumping it to the oppo cb, we will soon see his quality.

I think being at City is a reality check for him. At Leicester he didn’t face the kind of continual doubling up and bus parking he’s having to contend with now. He was getting the ball 5 to 10 yards infield and frequently up against a lone full back who he could turn inside out. Now he’s finding himself tight to the touch line with defenders (plural) reducing his space and options immediately. He’s got bags of ability but we certainly haven’t seen much of it yet
 
Not sure why, Zaha is:
1. Faster.
2. Younger.
2. Counts as league homegrown.
3. Has attributes that complement our playstyle and existing players better.
4. Is a superb crosser and dribbler.

Mahrez may have a slight edge technically in terme of passing but the gap the small. He is a great set piece taker but that alone isnt enough. We shoulda been all out for Zaha instead of Mahrez but we backed the wrong horse. Zaha would have been an outstanding complement to Sane with him on one side and Sane on the other.

Mahrez is a good player, he just doesn't suit us and that has always been my argument.

Ill take Pep's and Txiki's view on which horse was backed over yours.
