#26 | Riyad Mahrez - 2019/20 Performances

[Colin Bells Boots]

For a player that came through a French second division academy, who was signed by a Championship club, he’s one fine player!

Well done to Leicester’s scouts, that is one hell of a scouting coup!

They appear to have a very good scouting set up there.

Amazing that the dippers haven't hacked into their system ……………….yet .

I don´t know about others,but there is one guy in Barcelona who probably has better touch

Lenglet.

He's alright but he's no Mahrez that lad

Riyad is finally starting to make more right than wrong decisions in buildup with us, which is substantially improving his impact on our play as a whole, beyond just getting goals or assists. That is what sets great players apart from good ones, and what really saw him get the PFA POTY honours when he was with Leicester.

If he continues on that path he could be one of our most influential players, even if he is top line stats don’t necessarily reflect it, which I can assure you is exactly what Pep and co want. You just have to look at Raheem to see how that is valued.

Pep has always valued overall contribution (to the team) above all else and I think Riyad is finally understanding that demand and seeing how he can fulfill it.

Long may it continue.

There isn't a player in world football with a better first touch. I'm confident he could bring a safe down lightly.

Never seen a City player with better ball control.

One of 2 options for our player of the season so far.

Never thought i would be writing this , but alongsdie KDB probably our most consistent player over the last 3 months , and if everyone is fit , on current form he is a definite starter , Pep has changed his mentality from being billy big bollocks at a top ten team , too being an essential cog in the best "football" team around

It’s not so shocking though considering his consistency at Leicester.

I think the reason it’s taken him a little longer than your average player to settle is that while he is adjusting to our team, Pep has had to adjust to him as well.

He no longer has this fixed strictly wide right role that Sane and Sterling adhered to last season. He has freedom to drift all over, similar to the freedom Kevin has.

Hope this isn’t the kiss of death but I’m transferring him into my fantasy league team.

Surprised you haven't seen KDB and David Silva play?
