Just moved to Asfordby and discovered the Partridgian joys of rambling around the countryside, stopping for a pint in Frisby or Hoby. Riyad would be a fool to leave all that behind.

Porky confirmed there's TM in Monaco. Given the good weather they experience down there, only a mad man would turn down the opportunity of a move.
 
I've been looking at the stats for the last two seasons to see if I can find out what was so different about Mahrez between 16/17 and 15/16.

Things that were the same: Appearances 37 in 15/16 and 36 in 16/17; Passes 1,034 in 15/16 and 1,065 in 16/17.

Where did he deteriorate: Goals 17 in 15/16 and 6 in 16/17; Assists 11 in 15/16 and 3 in 16/17

What changed:
  • He had 10 more shots from one more game in the title winning season - nothing very significant
  • His shooting accuracy was a bit less - 38% this season when it was 45% in 15/16 - both are very good, the 15/16 stat is exceptional
  • The key difference for me is in crosses and duels
  • He made many more crosses in 16/17 - 154 than he did in 15/16 114 - this suggests less direct play
  • He won 47% of his 644 duels in 15/16, whereas he won 41% of his 483 duels in 16/17 - this show he was far more likely to take on his opponent in the title winning season. This dropped off substantially despite his success rate not deteriorating too much
So, the stats show that he was as involved in both seasons but his confidence to take players on and go for the jugular was what was different. Such small margins between brilliance and mediocre.

I said a few times during the season that I wanted him to take players on, even when it wasn't working. The moment he stops trying to do that, he loses what makes him special.

What about km covered, out of interest?
 
Also, according to Marca a player named Ulloa featured - not sure if he's a world legend but I don't know who else it would be if not our Leo?

Has it really been that long since you saw Ulloa play for us?

I know exactly how long it is since I see Ulloa play. I actually turn up for games when I'm supposed to, rather than letting people down who have got tickets for me.
