I don't get the comparisons tbf. Mahrez is 5 years older than Gray. Gray is only 21 and the best run of football he got was at Birmingham in the second tier.

If you've got time babs, could you do one of those squaka comparison things, per 90 minutes. I'd do it myself but I'm no use at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The variable being the disjointed amount of game time combined DG played, it would be interesting to see how he performs if given 8-15 consecutive games of 75 plus minutes.

You've filtered out too many things Babs ... can you add the following ... Missed Penalties. At least trying to stop the player who is running past you as if you wasn't there. Releasing the ball a bit earlier. Encouraging your team mates. Not having a face like a slapped arse all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 25 July 2017 Share Posted 25 July 2017 1 hour ago, Ric Flair said: There aren't many teams that drop their best player who's suffering from a loass of form. They might do it the odd time in a hope to kick start their season but ultimately the very best players get chance after chance. Vardy wasn't dropped either and his form was arguably way worse than Mahrez's for a large part of last season. The thing with Vardy was it was purely confidence and the team around him just failing to get the ball in the right areas and Vardy just froze for months. Mahrez it is different, he's always the focal point of our play, there are many reasons I'm sure for his poor season but no manager in their right mind is going to leave their best player out even if it's farcical to keep an underperforming player in the team. But that's football. The fact that Mahrez is 'always the focal point of play' is the problem. Teams just double (and treble) up on him. Again, this isn't rocket science. If he plays for a team where he isn't 'always the focal point of play' he'd get far more room to do what he does. We don't need to replace Mahrez' creativity, we need to add to it.

Of course, but on the flip side, the game time he has he's fresh and up against tiring defenders. So it's swings and roundabouts. He's always seemed to make more impact off the bench than he was when he's started for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 25 July 2017 Share Posted 25 July 2017 Can see Roma having improved bids turned down but will also probably make a very taste bid near the end that will make our club think long and hard about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good prospect, but he's nowhere near Mahrez's quality. A half arsed difficult season for Mahrez and Gray still didn't show more than him.

Wdywd Posted 25 July 2017 Share Posted 25 July 2017 Oh yeah, he's not as good as Mahrez obv, but Mahrez is amazing and people (not suggesting you) are down on him as well. But he clearly has something, he just gets virtually no opportunities. Hardly any starts, and a decent chunk of those 1000 minutes would be when he was brought on with the game already lost.

Then it should be a close call then ... perhaps we should have played them both at bit more ... couldn't have been any worse. 35 minutes ago, AKCJ said: You might not like Mahrez and that's fine but there's no way you can dislike Mahrez but like Gray. I do like Mahrez ... I like him a lot ... and its too early to make a call on Gray ... he has a lot of potential but does look like a miserable ble*der half the time ... sorry its not all black and white like you seem to want it to be.

the fox Posted 25 July 2017 Share Posted 25 July 2017 Riyad Mahrez 'not slacking' despite wanting out of Leicester, says Wes Morgan By Sky Sports Last Updated: 25/07/17 8:37am Riyad Mahrez remains a target for Roma this summer following a rejected bid Riyad Mahrez is "not slacking" from his Leicester commitments despite wanting out of the King Power stadium for good, captain Wes Morgan has insisted. Mahrez is the subject of interest from Italian club Roma, who had a bid of £20m rejected earlier this month, having declared in May that he wanted to leave. The Algeria star started in both Leicester's Asia Trophy games against West Brom and Liverpool last week and Morgan is pleased with this team-mates efforts despite uncertainty over his future. uoted in the Leicester Mercury, Morgan said: "Everyone knows about Riyad Mahrez. We've seen what a difference he can make. He's got the key to unlock defences. "I think you can see on the pitch that he's not slacking. He's putting in a shift for the boys. He's a Leicester player and that's all I can say." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
