Funny, I wouldn't have thought he'd had more apps for Man city than us. I'm rather smug that I enjoyed every moment of his time with us. I understood his desire to leave, tolerated his occasional childishness (tho the level if that petulance has been put in perspective now by that cnut fofana) and never let that cloud my enjoyment of his football. Simply the most graceful, most skilful player to ever play for us, by an absolute mile 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s outrageous but also completely believable. He’s SO underrated by football fans too. He’s utter quality. One of the best wingers in the world.

Popular Post Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 9 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 9 January 2023 I think Mahrez has the best first touch in world football, no exaggeration, float one over 50 yards over his head and it'll stick to his left peg like glue if he wants it to. Majestic. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 9 January 2023 Share Posted 9 January 2023 Always bugs me when insane wingers like Mahrez are essentially downplayed by simpletons as someone you can just "show them on their weaker foot" because "you know what they're gonna do" – Robben always got it n all. If it was that easy to stop they wouldn't be consistently competing at the highest possible level for such sustained periods. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadt Posted 9 January 2023 Share Posted 9 January 2023 Hope he gets 100 PL goals, on 79 atm. He's 32 next month so depends on how long he sticks around at Man City for. I think he'll just fall short unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking the same, he probably needs another couple of seasons after this one. The romantic in me would love him to come back for his swansong and play a season or 2 here, but never going to happen. If we could have built a better team abound him and Vardy, we would have had more trophies in the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahrez was too good to keep hold of, crucially he was 27 by the time he left too so he absolutely had to get his big move by then. At 28 or 29 no elite club is dropping £60m on him. We managed to get an additional year out of him, we never expected that 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’d kept Kante i’m pretty confident we’d have pushed high up the table the season after we won the title.

It’s crazy as soon as you see the centre mid open his body up to switch it out to Mahrez on the right, you know exactly what’s coming. Deftest touch you’ve ever seen and bang, straight at the full back. Then, feint inside or cut onto his right foot, equally as effective. He’s ****ing quality. One random bit of Mahrez skill I enjoyed on Sunday v Chelsea is when he was 1v1 with Chelsea’s young lad Hall. Mahrez just lured him in by the touch line, a few close touches and bang went by him. No pace needed, just impeccable ball control and timing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 10 January 2023 Share Posted 10 January 2023 Still not sure how he wasn't picked up by anyone before us. I remember watching him for us in the championship and had never seen anything like it in a Leicester shirt, the first time you see his touch, "that must have been a fluke". Best first touch in the game. My favourite goal will always be the one against Man City at their gaff in 15/16, always the one that sticks out in my mind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That assist against Man City where he laid off a long ball from Fuchs first time into Vardy's run through is goal of the season stuff. Unfortunately it always goes to the long range strikes when skill like that is rarely seen whereas long range strikes happen most weekends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
