the fox Posted 19 August 2017 Posted 19 August 2017 Riyad is being praised by a lot of people on social media for being professional and actually putting a shift in. You will come to understand that people have it for the guy, if he skins people like today, he is playing for a move. But, if he has a game like the arsenal one, he is sulking. There are agendas on foxestalk, not only for mahrez but for many other players. The positive agendas like marc's and vardy's, where a below average performance is ignored and an above average performance is considered very good. And you have your negative agendas, for the grays, riyads, musas and slimanis where anything except a 8/10 performance is criticized. Hypocrisy is a funny thing.
Jimmy Posted 20 August 2017 Posted 20 August 2017 performances like today are win win for everyone, we benefit from an inform Mahrez and it does make a move more likely for him, as for people having an agenda, that's partly his own fault as he looked so disinterested for so long
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 20 August 2017 Posted 20 August 2017 7 hours ago, Kitchandro said: Danny Murphy completely missing the point on MOTD. The reason he's not 'injured', Danny, is because he needs to play himself into the market. Which is exactly the situation I've been predicting. Nice of him to show the real Mahrez today, that's certainly not the one we've been seeing over the last year, and it's not the one we saw last week either. It's interesting how they only notice and highlight his good performances and base their disrespectful 'opinion' that he's 'too good for Leicester' on those, instead of picking out the many lowlights and using them to question his commitment. Obviously, Leicester, and their more consistent players who have obviously been carried by Mahrez's 6 goals and 4 assists over the last year, are too worthless a club for that sort of objective analysis. Danny Murphy (who I otherwise like) was banging on about the same thing towards the end of last season, Mahrez too good for us etc,a touch of the rose tinted spectacles I feel.
st albans fox Posted 20 August 2017 Posted 20 August 2017 Has Murphy commented that coutinho should be allowed to leave for 'bigger' club? If not then he, too, is a hypocrite. EDIT: he has said they should sell him so he isn't! we really should have told Riyad's representatives weeks ago that a late move would not be sanctioned and they need to get the message out to potential buyers that his window closes before now. there were mutterings about this start of the season cut off. For all we know this may be the case (unless Barca come in as we may have agreed he can move to them whatever the timescale ).

He was great yesterday and i'm delighted I can say that. He is being praised for putting a shift in, rightly so, it's something we've not much off from him in the last year or so, that's why people are so frustrated with him, but credit where credit is due, if he's bad people will note it comment about it, if he's good he'll get rightly praised. I think he is playing for a move, I'm happy about it though because it's a case of you scratch our back, we'll scratch yours (You play well, get interest, get bids of our valuation, you can go, this has not changed at all, it's been the case all through the scenario). Do I think he sulked last year? Does he come across as 'sulky'? Given the evidence of last season, there is a case. Agendas - Did I call for Albrighton to be dropped last year? I don't think I did because he was one of our better performers imo, even when we were really poor. Did I call for Vardy to be dropped? Yes I did! Did I question he'd had his head turned and regretted not going to Arsenal? Yes I did Have I called for Gray to be played and Mahrez to be dropped? Yes I have. Have I slagged Gray off for being too greedy/not giving a '8/10 performance'? No i've not, I accept those things as part of his learning curve, but he showed more than Mahrez last season which is why I want Mahrez dropped/Gray given a chance. Slimani I agree i've slagged off, alot, I don't have an agenda against him though, I simply comment on what I see and he frustrates me. Musa, not seen a great deal of. Fuck your 'agendas'. It seems that you're not allowed to simply comment on what you see and have an opinion on it nowadays, nope, there has to be an 'agenda' or you 'hate' them (That isn't aimed at just you, its aimed at alot of people) What really irks people is Mahrez being pisspoor last season (Like most of the players) then coming out with such a statement wanting to leave and causing this shitstorm (Which the other players havn't done), I want him to stay, I want him to play well, if only he had last season, he'd have probably already gone, probably with most people's blessings.

Against a poor Brighton side, yes, but superb. I personally do not have it for the guy bit he has brought it on himself looking so down for so long. That's why people get annoyed. I don't think people bother that he wants to leave but he's still got to be professional (as you put it) and for many games towards the back end of last season he looked like he wanted to be elsewhere. Everybody gets slated. You've got this idea that it's just the players you name there but that's wrong. Vardy took unwarranted stick last season (lots of people calling him to be dropped), last year I saw people say Drinkwater is "England's best midfielder" but now those people wouldn't mind selling him, Albrighton still has lot of critics (somehow)... I can go on... so move away from your biased attitude you seem to have. I don't know what to say about Musa.... he gets criticised because ... believe it or not .... he's shit. This time next week when we've been battered by United and Mahrez didn't "skin" anybody he'll be one of many to get criticised so I hope you're ready for it.

Are you insinuating it's a race thing or is that coincidental? What about all the crap that's spouted on here justifying his poor performances "quality of his teammates" has that changed? No "needs a better right back to overlap" has that changed? No He had his best game for a long time, only he knows why he upped his game. i think a lot of you need to work out the difference between a forum and a fan club, Stick to the latter if you want to constantly see praise and positivity even when underperforming 100k pw players want to leave.
Grebfromgrebland Posted 20 August 2017 Posted 20 August 2017 Riyad played well because Brighton didn't double up on him so he had the time and space to express him self. He is also on form.

Yes quality of his teammates has beenimproved so much, this start of season. Whate, in the last season, they played like a shit around him. A mildfield weaknened by the departure of Ngolo and the very weak relounch of deffenders. In a team Dominated in such way, like yours last season, Mahrez spent all his time to run behind the ball and the result; a decrease of its offensive contribution because exhausted by its defensiive efforts. In a team that holds the ball, he will touch much more and he will definitely perform better.

Just a coincidence, there is nothing racial about it as far as i'm concerned You can argue that riyad would be better with better player and a RB that can play to his strength. You can start by pointing out that he wasn't double teamed, that would explain why he played this good.

But please continue with your myth that he'd "play better with better players around him". I'll just sit back and point to our 2015/2016 season. That usually puts an end to the argument rather quickly.
foxinsocks Posted 20 August 2017 Posted 20 August 2017 As per the vardy situation last year.... once these things drag on the enthusism goes. Maybe mahrez can count his blessings if he sees his form coming back

Let's be realistic, with better players he will play better because teams won't double him. That's just what happens with flair/technical players I want riyad to stay for the good of the team, I call for better players so the club progresses and becomes a club that plays for a European football, I don't want the team to invest time on players just for the "big" clubs to strong arm the club (which will happen with Ben, n'didi and Maguire)

The second part of your statement right after that sentence ("That's just what happens with flair/technical players") makes no sense at all. No matter how skilled you are, you still have to beat the man in front of you! You make it sound so easy, but even the most skillful players can have a stinker of a game from time to time. With a few exceptions (Messi and Ronaldo spring to mind), there's not a single footballer in the world who can replicate the same form or excellency every single game. They are rare. And Mahrez, no matter how good he is, does not belong to that category. Then again, with your background, I can see why you see things the way you see it...
