Mahrez has been very good this season in fairness. I think it's the fact a midfield of gundo, daddy silva and Rodri has no real pace. It has to be too intricate, also none of them are great at beating there man. Too hard to play so intricately against the great wall of wolves. There is no directness there so if you defend the triangle passes its toothless.I watched the final 10 minutes and saw a fair few aimless crosses going into the box which seemed so unlike this City side, even when you're up against it. De Bruyne is obviously a huge miss but are players like Mahrez doing enough when they come in?
Despite his CL exploits sterling has dropped his standard last three or four games and Mahrez was due a poor one after his superb start.
If kdb doesn't play baby silva should always play in midfield (he should have come on for gundo not Mahrez, but he's not 100% mentally, totally his own fault) because we need someone who can take on and run away from a defender in the middle.
We just ran out of ideas with no pace/killer instinct in midfield and became desperate.
