Manchester City fans are loving the form of Riyad Mahrez this season following a notable improvement in his form.
The Algerian has had an excellent beginning to this season and is already on course to emulate some of the personal records he set himself at Leicester City. In his final season with the Foxes, Mahrez bagged 10 assists in all competitions and now Mahrez already has six assists after just 13 games.
Plus, if you combine this with his statistics from Understat.com, it goes to show how drastically he has improved this season. The stats show that the 28-year-old’s expected assists per game have risen from 0.34 to 0.78, whilst his key passes per game has gone from 1.62 to 3.99.
It does look like supporters are a huge fan of the 56-cap Algeria international this season, with one supporter saying he is a “whole different beast” compared to the last campaign.
Another fan simply labelled him a “maestro”, and it does seem as if his reputation is exponentially rising at the Etihad.
