    I actually agree that Mahrez is better than Knockaert

    Too early to say that

    One thing I would say is Mahrez has a better understanding then Knockaert of when its time to shoot, pass or try some tricks

    He is a more traditional winger but I'll like to see how he fares in the long term before jumping to conclusions.

    ... or to put it more succinctly ... he's better <laugh>

    ... indeed it is a little early to be speculating on who is better ... but Mahrez has already demonstrated to me that he is a more 'complete' player at this stage of the respective developments ...

    ... I'd start to get excited if I were you ... I started before Saturday ... posted on here that his pass for Vardy's second at Barnsley was 'exquisite' ... that sort of timing and pace of pass is rare in the Championship but fairly common from players loke Silva, Mata, Ozil, Oscar, Hazard and Michu in the Prem ... he's thetype of player that puts bums on seats ...

    In a handful of games he's scored two and created three ... special player this lad. Seems to be a nice character too from what I've seen so far.... happy days.

    Knockeart is helping Mahrez settle in, so they are both as important as each other, Mahrez isn't as good as Knockeart until he scores a goal like he did against Huddersfield last year <ok>

    Time will tell with him, he´s started his LC career on the right note. A really good buy at the right time of the season you could say.

    Let's not forget that Mahrez is older than Knockaert though. Only a little but they both still have a fair amount of growing into the game. The early signs for Mahrez are good though.
