Riyad Mahrez - 2018/2019 performances

[Ban-jani]

Wish he would have trusted his right foot to pass to sane on the counter,thats where raz would have been better but he does wonderous things with his left foot so that makes up for it mostly

Raz couldn’t have played that ball to Sane for 1-0 or played Jesus clean through in what should have been 3-0 but I see your point.

All three wingers have different qualities and all 3 are absolutely sensational in my opinion.

I strongly suspect that's why we signed them ;-)

With the success of Mahrez so far, and thinking how good he might be in a year's time; I wonder whether we'll look for another right footed wing option to have balance in our variety, if that makes sense.

A bit like they had at Bayern with Robben, Ribery, Costa and Coman (but hopefully our bunch would be even better).

Doesn’t always work out like that though.

All three deserve to start every week.

All three will be involved though,which,from the opposition perspective,is probably the bigger nightmare as they can't predict our approach.

It also keeps all on their toes.Win,win :-)

I think because of how dominant Our 3 are it might be tough.

You're not wrong, but I'm not convinced that's enough to be a limiting factor.

Of course that's assuming I'm right in that we may be interested in another player for additional balance and variety.

Doesn’t matter to me if people think Sterling and Sane are a bit better (or worse). Those are two cracking young players who set the bar high when at their best.

The important question is whether he is City quality ...and he’s starting to show that level more and more. That gives us the ability to perm two from three without a drop in quality. Over the whole season, with injuries and fluctuations in form, that could be pretty important. As can ringing changes during a match.

I'd like it :)

Mahrez is different, which is his strength & makes us much stronger.

It doesn't matter who is better, so long as we don't repeatedly play any of them if they are playing average or shit.

When KDB comes back, he should only play regularly when he hits form, then we have another different angle for opponents to worry about which wil also be like having another new player. Many will now have forgotton how.we play with him. Then they have a wild card with Mahrez & a total wild card in Phil Foden. And Jesus has another 50% to come.

Great options.
