foxile5 Posted 12 November 2017 Share Posted 12 November 2017 What a surprise. An entitled attitude. In his mind he should've immediately displaced one of the wingers who won us the title. It's absurd. I think he's a great player but I do not like him as a person. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably a bit thick and has a greedy agent in his ear convincing him he's the next CR7. Happy though he's in the team! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 12 November 2017 Share Posted 12 November 2017 its a rehash of the same interview and again he wasn't complaining when Albrighton and Mahrez were on top form, he got annoyed when they were playing like shit every week and were still given protected status when they were no longer deserving of it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that it people want to like him. But how many times can you say 'he's misunderstood...he doesn't mean it like that...he's just being candid.'

His interviews are, at best, cold and, at worst, outright disrespectful towards the club. did he say he should be starting or simply getting more then a 5-10 min cameo over 4th game or so? I know people like you want to hammer him for the slightest thing you can jump on but for pretty much the whole of last season our wingers were crap and he still wan't getting a game, he is doing this interview looking back so is basing the comments on how they actually played not what their reputations are. I will not criticize a player for being unhappy that he isn't playing especially if the people in his position are playing shit week in week out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save your sensationalist hyperbole for Facebook. It's unprofessional and it's not the first time he's whinged publicly. The old adage 'praise in public and criticise in private' springs to mind. But I suppose morons like you enjoy seeing dummies spat, fingers pointed and the giddy thrill of being able to slate the past. The salient point I've made repeatedly is that he's a good player, potentially great. But he's unprofessional and petulant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albrighton shouldn't be near the first 11 now. He's had one good game this season, maybe two at a push. Though he is good at hoofing the ball forwards constantly. I don't care if he "won us the league". We've got two attacking creative players in Mahrez and Gray and hopefully now we've got a manager who will play them both.

foxinsocks Posted 12 November 2017 Share Posted 12 November 2017 In my professional grown up life (away from ft) i have interviewed and hired many people. Hiring the wrong person is a costly mistake. To ensure i hired good people i often asked them about a challenging time or when things didnt work out well; and i asked them what their reflections were now. I marked up those who took responibility and showed what theyd learned... i marked down those who felt everyťhing was someone else's fault. .they were hapless. Here gray is suggesting that not one but two city managers wilfully held him back. I wonder if he can identfy what they wanted from him and how he could have shown this. I would hope both cr and cs would have told him. If they didn't he should have asked and worked on it. I hope that puel offering him this chance has not meant that he has failed to learn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he did help us win the league ... And he played most of the season .. And no one complained at all. Not only can he get back and defend but he puts the ball in the box (quite easily) for others to put it away. There was even talk of an England call up ... One of the most underrated players we've ever had. Bloody hero in my book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not denying what Albrighton (or any title winning player) has done here but ffs we can't carry on with them forever .... you have to move forward in football .. Fergie didn't keep Bruce year after year did he? Albrighton has served us well but I prefer to be attacking and we've two players on either side to go at teams now instead of concentrating on defending first.

Popular Post Koke Posted 12 November 2017 Popular Post Share Posted 12 November 2017 (edited) I actually like Grays attitude. He wants to play. It's not about salary but personal ambition to play football and win things and get England caps. Look at Musa and Ulloa. They'd rather rot in the U23s than push for first team football here or elsewhere. I love his attitude. Keep your attitude as it is Demarai. This kind of drive and ambition is what English youngsters should have more of. If you weren't like this they would call you lazy and money grabbing and unambitious. You can't win, lad.

I'm not suggesting we play any of em forever, but we also shouldn't be so quick to cast them aside ... Or play down what they bring to the team. Not really sure how I got into this one as I think Gray should have more game time ... When Riyad leaves in January it won't really matter anyway. If he stays well you pick the form player ... Easy as that really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the fox Posted 12 November 2017 Share Posted 12 November 2017 blaming former managers for you not having a breakout performance is as petty as it gets. i like gray, and he should start but, please stop making excuses for him! he, time after time when the manager played him opted to shot rather than pass 90% of the time! marc lacks gray's ability, but he knows what he has to do. i remember the sunderland game where gray started and didn't impress, he left the game 0-0, marc entered with slim, he assisted both goals and was just fantastic! that is childish from gray, he didn't set the pitch on fire when he was given time, and now he blames his former managers. smh! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arriba Los Zorros Posted 12 November 2017 Share Posted 12 November 2017 Think we have to be honest here, Albrighton is a very limited player with a good right foot and a set of lungs on him. In that he'd be better suited as a right back and he's not defensively strong enough. He offered good balance to Riyad on the other wing but he neither helps us keep the ball or beats a man to unlock a defence. He's not good enough, even when on form 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is simply a fact that neither Ranieri nor Shakespeare showed any faith in Gray to be anything more than a cameo sub to waste time in a game, in just 2 games Puel has shown more faith in him than either of the other 2 ever did 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
