Admittedly my metaphorical glasses were a bit "tinted" regarding riyad because of the immense poty season, but after i had a decent time thinking about him, I can say, if he has a bad game while the other players do well in the CL, then I'm all for benching him for gray, and my reasons are logical (enough). if he is leaving this summer then I want gray to start ahead of him (if he is underperforming), and that's because I want to have the final verdict out on gray, if he proves that he can carry the team (I know it is not fair to him, but what can you do?) Then the club shouldn't bring any expensive players to just hold him back. Mahrez' gravity is undeniable, but, right now, gray with no end-product> mahrez with no end-product. So, mahrez needs to start producing or sadly, he will be dropped from the starting 11. Dropping Mahrez is like dropping a magical spell which might - and often does - win you a match. You can do it, and sometimes it's for the best, but you do it knowing you may have made a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 8 April 2017 Share Posted 8 April 2017 I really don't think he's been bad at all recently. Not his unstoppable best but still a real threat. Opposition teams cack themselves when he's on the ball and his first touch is still the best in the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlgerianFox Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 Make or break game for his career. Is he really special??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenny_fox Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 In a team that wouldn't really on him tracking back all the time, yes he really would be special. You look at possesion based teams and the way they pass and move, then compare that to our 'pass and move' standards. The trouble is with Mahrez this year for us is that teams realise that if you stop Mahrez you more than likely stop Leicester, whereas if he was in a team with more creative players (like man city, chelsea etc) he would flourish as the emphasis wouldn't be on him (take last year for an example when he was still pretty unknown).

Pretty much. This is why I can still see the big clubs coming in for him. He was amazing last season but I think he could be even better in a team where the players don't either poo their pants when the ball comes to them or they just fall over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the fox Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 its definitely a legacy match for him. I truly think that if he brings his A game and get us to the semifinals he will be remembered as the best Leicester player in this era by many (including me). Please mahrez, leave it all in the king power, it could probably be his last European match in the city shirt and he should honor his time here with a heroic performance. COYF!!

If they did they would leave another quality player to do the business. Get a quality RB and a quality CAM he would look great for us. He could not be double teamed so much.

No point in paying such high wages for a player that is unable to contribute as much anymore. Plus, that transfer fee can be better used elsewhere.

Immigrant Deutsch Rap is not my preferred taste of music, and the video only supports my notion. It's also tough to follow the rhymes because they swallow a large part of the lyrics, making it almost unintelligible. Suffice to say, the refrain is "Überraschung wie Leicester - surprise like Leicester". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutted that he didn't pass it earlier, but people accusing him of the Madrid goal are weird, the play stopped and he was actually there defending and tracking back.

Agreed but we have to free him from defensive duties of a typical flat 4-4-2 as he should have closed down Luiz's cross and he should also be further up the pitch and not have to be back defending, which he doesn't do that well anyway. Let's see how he does in this formation change now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but that comparison doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
