He went down in the area on 5 minutes, there seemed little contact, perhaps on arm on his shoulder? He rolled around a lot and he stayed down. The ref gave no foul.

After some treatment from the sidelines he played on, apparently OK for 20 minutes. Bayern scored 2 goals, one after 13 minutes, completely against the run of play, and another on 25 minutes. Bayern seemed on top, we looked deflated.

Almost immediately he sat on the floor and took his boot off. Perhaps he was p*ssed off at going behind and didn't fancy pushing it, with a sore ankle, as the most senior outfield player amongst a group of kids in a friendly? We had lost the previous 2 games, and at that time things didn't look good.

I have no problem him coming off if he had a painful knock. It worked well with Bernardo leading the comeback. I just hope he has the character to dig deep when we might be down in important PL or CL games? I do wonder if he would have come off if we had been 2 goals up and cruising? Being behind in games can effect some player's minds more than others. Some players, like Zab, are perhaps defined by their mental strength and resilience.

Well thats an awful lot of assumption from absolutely no evidence, ever thought of getting behind your team instead of giving unfounded insinuations of being a player being a soft arse.

What I described initially was all facts from what I saw. I then made a legitimate comment based on what I saw. This is supposed to be a forum for free and open discussion about our club and the players, we don't all have to be clones spouting the same "party line".

I think Mahrez is a brilliant player, but not all players have the same mental resilience. That was my concern before we bought him and it still remains.

Always makes me laugh when someone posts rubbish, gets called out on said rubbish, and then comes out with the ‘party line’ schtick.
People are rightly calling you out because it was a steaming pile of bull

Terrible slant on a players integrity whichever colour you try to paint it.

That's just not true, there's no integrity question. It's an undeniable fact he played on for 20 minutes and came off almost immediately they scored their second.

Suggesting a player might not have as much mental resilience as say Zab is not questioning their "integrity".
