Riyad Mahrez reportedly in line for new contract

I’m convinced they’re all FIFA players. On that game pace gives you a big advantage so they think that translates to actual football. Very naive view of the sport.

Unless you play counter attack, agreed. Even then it’s not actually needed if players make the right decisions at the right times.

Yeah. We have Haaland anyway for the rare occasion we have some space to run into. The whole team doesn’t need to be greyhound’s.

Give him plus 2 until he's 34, I'm sure we'll manage. He is not dependent on pace or physicality.

 

[Chi-town blues]

He’ll have a record assist with haaland up front .

Some people seem to be hypnotised by pace. It’s almost irrelevant agains low blocks.

There’s a reason Adama Traore will never play for us.

This is not a good argument.

How many teams get a low block set up against a counter?

0.

Guardiola just likes to control every facet of a game, possible. This is why pace isn't strictly important when a player has that control of the ball and, therefore, defender.

I see you adjusted in a further response, so edited.

Maybe it’s time to embrace Twitter as a useful tool? It’s what you make it to be. You don’t even have to post anything.

It's all opinions. I agree with some of this. He isn't the best at pressure. He doesn't lack pace. Just doesn't have extra like Sterling. He can play multiple positions even if he is best at RW.

He is an accomplished finisher and producer. Who can start or come in to Change a game. It strange to consider him a luxury.

Hes a perfect squad player. Like you say, some games we will want to press and we have other players for that. Other games we want control and mahrez is perfect for that. He fits a role in our squad
