By far and away his best game for us.In that first half he made some very telling long balls into the area for both David and Sergio.I agree that at times he can be a little selfish but he does appear to be on the same wavelength of our more established players.
A great player who will only get better under Pep.

Agree with this. Hit some sublime long passes yesterday and scored a beauty. Hopefully he is fully settled in now - signs are promisingBy far and away his best game for us.In that first half he made some very telling long balls into the area for both David and Sergio.I agree that at times he can be a little selfish but he does appear to be on the same wavelength of our more established players.

He certainly looks like he is starting to tune into the teams frequency, and his long range shooting is going to cause teams all kind of problems

I thought he became much less selfish as the game grew, the less selfish he became the better he got.
I also agree, he's certainly on the same wavelength as the players.
Think he'll start to really impact week in week out soon.

Three of them were inch perfect to Sergio as well.

I`ve noticed before that when he cuts in from the right (right by the touch line) he`ll always try and beat the keeper at his near post.Yes as the came wore on he certainly brought players like Foden into the game.I thought he became much less selfish as the game grew, the less selfish he became the better he got.

Could never understand the shit that Mahrez got early on in the early part of the season.The lad is playing a whole different ball game to his Leicester days and it would obviously take him a few games to bed in,not the one or two as some Mooners seemed to indicate.
I agree he`s now looking at grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck and showed his true ability yesterday and he will get better and better.
I was one of the people who was genuinely delighted when we signed him and I`ve not been too disappointed.Well apart from that penalty miss at Anfield but by the same token I`ve seen Sergio and Gabriel miss `em.
Some people are crazy in the sense they expect every single cross to be on the money. If not, then in their mind the players crossing has been shit. It’s impossible to get every single cross bang right, the fact he created two absolute sitters which were missed tells you he did his bit.Three of them were inch perfect to Sergio as well.

Great game by Mahrez - he's finally starting to click for us.
We've got 2 of the 5 :)His close ball control and first touch is something out of this world. Messi, Isco, Mahrez, Bernardo have the best close ball control in the world of football.

Ok Fantasy lol. There were a few comments arround me at HT where fans said they thought he would be subbed 10mins into second half. I'm glad he wasn't.

At the moment he just doesn't fit into the team, the word team being the operative word. He is playing for himself, wanting to be the main man to the detriment of the end result. Yesterday he shot probably three times from very narrow angles when passing to a teammate may have won us the game. Pep needs to impress this into him very quickly or he will be restricted to a role from the bench until.he learns.

Using the analogy that people were convinced alligator's lived in the underground in New York to say my post was rubbish lol?
I believed it to be correct at the time of posting it. He came from Leicester where they allowed him to try and do everything on his own as he was their one and only creative talent. A combination of this and probably trying too hard to make his mark had led to some selfish decision making at times. Yesterday was a marked improvement barring one shot from an impossible angle in the first half when only 1-0 up when a cross would have been the better option. Hopefully onwards and upwards now.

Its not even November, how anyone thinks a player can come into Peps magical kingdom where things tend to be quite different than other clubs and click straight away is beyond me.
I would generally expect any player coming here the best part of a season to even approach "getting it" and therefore able to produce their best stuff for City. Mahrez will be no different and could be quite special next season. In the meantime I expect he will improve even more as the weeks go by.

Bernado being the prime example.Its not even November, how anyone thinks a player can come into Peps magical kingdom where things tend to be quite different than other clubs and click straight away is beyond me.

Very much so, lets face it it took all those already here a season collectively when Pep arrived. I suspect it is so different than any other club it really will take a good amount of time to take it all in and most probably for Pep to complete the job of turning a new arrival into the player he Pep wants him to be.
I have high hopes for Mahrez but dont expect much from him yet. Anything good now is a big bonus, and all things considered I think he looks pretty good already.
He could easily have had 3 assists in the first half with some brilliant passes. Without doubt he is one of the most talented footballers around....we have some amazing Mahrez moments to look forward to in the future. Give him another 6 months under Pep and the sky is the limit.
