Looks like I touched a nerve, but yeah I was more specifically referring to those who just comment about Mahrez on posts about the team, rather than the team itself.
Listen mate, we are a global brand and growing. That means our fan base is going to have many constituent parts, for example,
Die hard Manc blues who have been to hundreds of games home and away over the years down to people who just like a particular player down even to a City daft kids Mum whose willing to spend a load of money on kits etc and even if not interested in football, when pushed would say they are a blue.

At his best, he was really good but one of his faults (like Cancelo in my view) is he wants to be the star, the main man. That’s his personality and I feel Pep and the staff (basically as Pep admitted) had a struggle sometimes to balance that against the team needs.
