cityfanlee23 Posted 20 March 2014 Posted 20 March 2014 Let's not get carried away... christ when I made the thread about mahrez signing and jokingly made a few tweets I got told to "Calm down" Lets just remember he's had a few decent appearances, Blackpool he was quality... but he was against a team that have not won in 17, Have a feeling some of us could have played well.... No disrespect to mahrez, but he's not proved himself properly yet, He's not good enough for France, Infront of him in algeria are: Bentaleb - Tottenham Feghouli - Valencia Brahimi - Grenada Taider - Inter Ghilas - Predominantly a striker but has played as a winger a few times for porto Yebda - Udinese All would walk into us IMO - He's got a long way yet, I see many who are being cautious but seen a few that I think are letting biased opinions in, I'd love to see him there, but let him prove himself for us first.

Yebda, Taider and Bentaleb are all centre mids though. He has Feghouli, Brahimi and Boudebouz in front of him from what I can see.
cityfanlee23 Posted 20 March 2014 Posted 20 March 2014 Yebda, Taider and Bentaleb are all centre mids though. He has Feghouli, Brahimi and Boudebouz in front of him from what I can see. Bentaleb is a CM/RM He plays on the right wing frequently when he comes on Yebda and Taider were in there purely because Mahrez plays a free role for us, And he may be considered anywhere in midfield Either way with all due respect, he's going to struggle to get into that team anywhere in midfield after a few good games for a championship club
MC Prussian Posted 20 March 2014 Posted 20 March 2014 Already making inroads by the looks of things... http://www.squawka.com/news/2014/03/18/he-created-he-scored-how-leicesters-dynamo-sparked-foxes-comeback/2014031884043 I really like that coverage, makes for an interesting and intriguing reading, especially the reference to a (possible) promotion: They call it "inevitable". However, I wouldn't consider 5ft 10 1/2'' to be "little".

There's a 7 minute video of his highlights from the Blackpool game and this lad really is quality. He's got a hell of a lot about him. Skill, pace, FLAIR, vision, he can shoot, cross - this lad was under half a million quid. I love Lloyd but unfortunately, sentiment and nothing else will get him in the side over this lad. Class above.
cityfanlee23 Posted 20 March 2014 Posted 20 March 2014 Is he really not a better prospect than Bentaleb? There is no reason why he cannot be a better prospect, However bentaleb is 4 years younger, And playing in the premiership at 19 (albeit not many appearances) He's playing stronger opposition at a younger level.... In all honesty I'd say they are similar prospect, both unexposed at the top level, young and hungry

cityfanlee23 Posted 20 March 2014 Posted 20 March 2014 Bentaleb gets slated left right and centre. Typical spurs fans, 19, played 11 games since he signed in 2013, gets slated... worse than leicesterf fans! Personally watched him twice and thought he looked good in his small appearance
Soar Fox Posted 20 March 2014 Posted 20 March 2014 Anyone seen KingFox? Last seen in Patrick Bamford's arse.
Jimothy Posted 20 March 2014 Posted 20 March 2014 Anyone seen KingFox? Did he question Mahrez's ability?!? Must have missed that. So that's another thing he's clueless about. I noticed he's stopped going on about Bamford now that Derby, and therefore Bamford, haven't scored for a month.

Xen Posted 20 March 2014 Posted 20 March 2014 https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1hswgx_riyad-mahrez-vs-blackpool_sport That long ball through to Vardy...
StanSP Posted 20 March 2014 Posted 20 March 2014 That long ball through to Vardy... That actually was like something Xavi or Iniesta would pluck out. Vardy should have buried it!
Agent Fox Posted 20 March 2014 Posted 20 March 2014 It's fantastic to have a video like this to watch, you have time to see everything the player is doing on the pitch. Sometimes you get caught in the emotions and don't notice the small, intelligent spells of football. Imagine if we had this video before he signed, we'd have been delirious!

Sometimes you get caught in the emotions and don't notice the small, intelligent spells of football. Imagine if we had this video before he signed, we'd have been delirious! Mahrez is sensational, for me. Has so much natural football nous and skill, coupled with industry, teamwork and strength. Is it too early to be thinking of him as a young Zidane-like player? Can't wait to see how he shapes up in the Prem.
kingcarr21 Posted 20 March 2014 Posted 20 March 2014 looks brilliant on the ball. Cant see Dyer getting back into the team the way hes playing
Steven Posted 20 March 2014 Posted 20 March 2014 That long ball through to Vardy... Too true plus all the passing, movement and options that the midfield have. Blue Brazil :scarf: :pearson: :wub:
Dan Posted 20 March 2014 Posted 20 March 2014 People will say 8 games is too early to judge a player but is it? He's been playing like this every single time I've seen him play and his goals/assists record (2 goals, 3 assists, mostly off the bench) is excellent and it'd be even better if it wasn't for others missing chances. I think we've been playing to a level even greater than before recently and I can't help but feel a lot of it is down to Mahrez. Class player.
Guest Basildon Fox Posted 20 March 2014 Posted 20 March 2014 He has started brilliantly but at the moment he is something of an unknown quantity. Let's see how he is doing at the end of this year against better players who will know his game before making him out to be a world beater.
