Mahrez has improved under Shakey, even if it's less than others. Drinky on the other hand has shown no improvement and probably got worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanchflower78 Posted 14 April 2017 Share Posted 14 April 2017 Drinkwater was dreadful in madrid and a couple of games before that. Needs to up his game or risk being replaced in summer. He is proving to be a liability at the moment. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinky hasn't improved at all under Shakey. His season is abysmal since the game against WBA ages ago. If i had to compare, I'd say that Mahrez improved under Shakey a bit better than him. all in all, both are actually shit but curiously I don't find the same dedication from you. And don't come at me with the "carrying a knock" excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one said jack when he was sitting at 0 goals for first half of the season. Never seen a "Drop Vardy" thread... There's a little bias, don't you think? Worst part is, Mahrez isn't even play bad. He's just not on the same form as he was last year. 9 goals, 4 assists in about 30 games isn't too bad for a winger... WHERE AS ALBRIGHTON, has only 3 goals and 5 assists in about the same amount of GPs as Mahrez: For me, Mahrez is the second best in attack right now after Vardy. He just doesn't have as much liberty in the attack anymore, since every time he gets the ball, he gets pressed by 5 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cannot do a thing right at the moment to the point where if there was a viable alternative Drinks should be dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the CL games (5 & 6 months ago) may make up a big portion of those figures? Lets stop this tete a tete now, we disagree; let's leave it at that;life is too short.

Wymsey Posted 14 April 2017 Share Posted 14 April 2017 I agree with Mahrez and Gray not being on the pitch at the same time, as they're still both trying to get to grips with the defending aspect of their positions imo - hence why I thought it was correct in playing Albrighton instead of Gray on Wednesday with Albrighton vis his experience knowing when it's time to defend but also when it's fine to go up further the pitch. Mahrez seems to have bulked up a bit and looks more stronger, but am quite disappointed he's not being as effective as he can he (although that could be down to the way the team is set up in terms of formation).

Well, what's the point of a messaging board if we all circle jerked each other. You have an opinion, you shared it, and i shared mine.

Dan LCFC Posted 14 April 2017 Share Posted 14 April 2017 I am a massive advocate of a flair player and can appreciate exactly the kind of magic he has up his sleeve, but the case for giving him a few games off gets stronger. There just isn't that magic as much nowadays. Don't think he's helped at times either though. The movement around him could be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midland_red Posted 14 April 2017 Share Posted 14 April 2017 This is a tough one. There's a song case for saying that we should play Gray instead of an out-of-form Mahrez on Tuesday. But..... Mahrez at his best is world class, the one guy in the team who can conjure something up out of nothing, like he did last year. The price for that may be some indifferent performances other times. The chance of that one-off brilliance is what keeps him in the team. I'm not even sure what I could do in Shakey's shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WigstonWanderer Posted 15 April 2017 Share Posted 15 April 2017 Problem with Gray is he tends to go missing for large portions of matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is coz he needs to mix up his game a bit.... his main move is to come inside from the left and shoot. .. if they close him down or keep him to the outside he needs more tricks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxinsocks Posted 15 April 2017 Share Posted 15 April 2017 Form or not... mahrez attacts a lot of attention.... so that's a problem for our opponents. I think its good to start him. Yet he needs to mix it up more... play an early ball in rather than always try to skill the defenders.. by showing this they will have to stand off him. Imo he needs a personal coach to work on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
