Mahrez

[Green & Blue]

Sick of seeing this lad getting a start. I just don’t see any consistency in his performances that makes him deserving of a regular starting place in the team.

On a bit of a rant here but I really feel we’d have been better off never signing him. Foden in serious form and this lad starting ahead of him it stinks.

[Dubciteh]

He does well when we are full flowing and team is functioning well. When he is expected to carry the team he never does. He is a luxury player to get the third fourth fifth goal in a big win. He did well in title decider game against brighton in his first season thats been his best contribution.

He is a bit of a coward and doesn’t work hard enough for a pep team and when hes bad hes really bad.

Considering the options we have its mind boggling he gets a start on current form. Torres sterling foden or bernardo would all be better options on current form.

Considering pep dropped him for dippers game, id love to know what hes done to be recalled. One of spurs best outlets is there new left back(similar to liverpool) no idea what pep was thinking starting him knowing hed never track back.

Time for a rest for him i think. Pep needs to make aerious changes, this can be the first.

I think it goes any further. There is no adaptability to his game in that he can be used in no other position than wide right. If he could be used on his conventional side with Sterling or Torres on their natural sides I think that would be sensible and practical. He is not willing to do this and in an ideal world he would be going to Barcelona as a makeweight to bring Messi to the club in January.

Whatever happens, it has been a signing of Mangala and Bony proportions and it has cost us badly over the last eighteen months to two years and we need to get rid as soon as possible.

Pep should try him on the left. Endless predictable cutting in means he runs into a narrow packed defence. Ditto Torres on the left. We must at least try playing our wide men on their favoured feet so we use width to counter the Mourinho tactic which of course is used against us by many other teams.

Never understood why we bought him and didn't think he was anything special at Leicester. I can only think he's being put in the shop window because he is awful.

We get the ball past a teams row of five in midfiield and this tosser ends up playing back to our defensive players , losing all the advantage gained.

Get rid asap.

[blues2win]

When he’s given space to cut in and get momentum he’s a very dangerous player. He usually isn’t. Walker should supply the overlap but you’d rather have technically more gifted players in the final third. Silva and Sane was a great combination with Sane cutting in so it can work well but we must avoid predictability.

Sigh....Mahrez and Mendy combined fees would have landed Haaland..let that sink in lads

[sheblue]

I agree Mahrez has been poor.
But look lads Mahrez doesn't pick the team.
It's not his fault he keeps getting picked.
Give the man a break.

[Mase]

Can only imagine if Sancho had stayed and we’d never got Mahrez. How wonderful.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Mahrez is a luxury player and not suitable for our style of play, he obviously has talent, but never varies his play. If I know he is going to cut inside to his left foot all the time I’m pretty sure well coached PL defenders do.
The idea of having left footed players on the right might work the odd time as a tactic, but to deploy this as a regular system is so predictable it makes it really easy to defend against, in short Mahrez should be no where near out first team.

I don't think he can even play on the left like sane considering he is as slow as a slug and rarely makes runs beyond the lines.

It's obvious that the rest of the team doesn't trust him. Yesterday there was a passage of play where kdb got the ball and was running towards the goal while mahrez was clear and ready to receive the ball on the right. Kdb went for the shot instead.

I would gladly trade him for Messi in January.
