MAHREZ CAN FILL HIS BOOTS

-

IT hasn’t been the easiest of starts for Riyad Mahrez at Manchester City but those two goals against Cardiff will have done him the world of good. He has not been given much opportunit­y to justify his club record £60million transfer fee, starting just twice in the Premier League. Coming on with the match already won and with half an hour to impress, Mahrez reminded us just how lethal he can be in front of goal. His aim should be to emulate what Raheem m Sterling achieved last season. After forcing his way into the side early in the campaign, the England forward found the net 23 times in all competitio­ns. With City fighting on four fronts, there will be plenty of opportunit­y for Mahrez (above) to shine. Given the chances this team create, he should be targeting double figures at least.
