It's not slagging players off, it's just being sensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 28 November 2017 Author Share Posted 28 November 2017 (edited) Would actually prefer to have Gray's speed and style-of-play off the bench when the team is level after half-time and when the yeam needs more pace etc, than see him being found out for much of a game imo.

WigstonWanderer Posted 28 November 2017 Share Posted 28 November 2017 Thank God Puel's had the balls to bench him. If he wants to act like a kid he can play with the U23s. Talented, but needs to grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit different to having multiple strops during a match like Gray at WHam, one of which resulted in stopping to remonstrate and missing a clear opportunity to score.

Larry_LCFC Posted 29 November 2017 Share Posted 29 November 2017 His decision making is really, really bad. Needs to learn when to pass the bloody ball and stop trying to be a hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyJones Posted 29 November 2017 Share Posted 29 November 2017 Personally felt a bit sorry for Gray when he came on tonight as we had spent most of the second half defending our lead and he clearly is not a tackling ball winning kind of player, plus his defensive positioning can be suspect. So a surprising managerial decision to reduce our defensive and attacking capabilities (to me Mahrez is superior in both aspects) but maybe Puel thought he needs the experience. So Gray was really in a no win situation and ended up basically contributed little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to learn when to pass the bloody ball and stop trying to be a hero. think he made all the right decisions when he came on tonight, for the Slimani pass you could argue that Slim should have checked his run more to open up the pass or you can say Gray put too much weight on it, depends what story you want to tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the years I think Mahrez has earned some right to patience, but yes, if his attitude is all wrong and performances poor then he should be dropped. Problem with Gray is that both his on and off the pitch behaviour is now starting to paint an unattractive picture, possibly even divisive and disruptive to team spirit. If that is combined with poor performances, then yes, he needs to be taken down a peg or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stick Gray gets is vastly over the top for the "crimes" he is committing. 1000s of players throw their arms up when through on goal and the pass doesn't come, 1000s talk about being frustrated about not being in the team when interviewed about it but only Gray is the devil incarnate for doing so. There are people questioning his decision making last night ,the only decision he had to make he made correctly, you could then either argue that he played a poor pass or that Slimani should have checked his run more to create a better angle, but that depends on what picture you want to paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livid Posted 29 November 2017 Share Posted 29 November 2017 I think Puel just realised we needed Shinji in there. Gray was just the one who was sacrificed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colourmy Posted 20 January 2018 Share Posted 20 January 2018 Never, never, never, never will he become a great footballer. He will leave us, bounce around for a year, go to the Championship briefly before settling on Solihull Moors or something. Not in a million will he get better than us.

Bryn Posted 20 January 2018 Share Posted 20 January 2018 He's not developed significantly in his time here but I think it's vastly premature to write him off just yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be reasonably happy to be proved wrong but DG is a reasonable quality footballer but not with Premier League players around him. A good quality Championship side would benefit from him, much less speed of thought defenders would suit him. Like Nugent, great at a certain level!
