Colourmy Posted 20 January 2018 Posted 20 January 2018 DG purchased as a gamble. He's been here long enough to not be a bit part. He isn't a PL standard player. It may come with age but currently, no chance. 1

We're massively riding our luck at home at the minute, not good enough. Sorry Ric but I thought he had a good game ... I know he keeps falling on his arse .. but .. he also kept winning the ball and was only one of a few players that swivelled round and went forward instead of the always easy pass backwards ... 3 1
dynamark Posted 20 January 2018 Posted 20 January 2018 Oka did great for his allotted 60 mins rarely fell over! but you always feel Gray lacks that level of performance different player really.\just looks as though he needs to concentrate a lot harder on being involved.We did win 2 0 though 1

He did okay to be fair. If he didn't go to ground everytime the clock ticked by another minute, he'd be okay. It infuriates me because unless he doesn't do it training, it must be his game!

Ian Nacho Posted 20 January 2018 Posted 20 January 2018 Seems to have faded away from the starting XI, Okazaki can offer way more to the midfield. 1

Thought we thoroughly outplayed Watford today 3
Fox92 Posted 20 January 2018 Posted 20 January 2018 I thought Gray did well when he came on but at times he lacked confidence - twice he played balls instead of just running into space.
lgfualol Posted 20 January 2018 Posted 20 January 2018 He's gone proper off the boil for some reason. No goals/assists in a while. Shouldnt write him off, but if he is Mahrez's replacement in the Summer I would worry. 2

We're massively riding our luck at home at the minute, not good enough. I always tend to agree with your posts because they seem to reflect my thoughts but I thought Okazaki linked play nice today. But as I said other day on here, he lacks pace which is a shame because, like he did today, turns players with ease but just can't get away from them. Vardy should have passed to Okazaki to score instead of shooting (first half).
sdb Posted 20 January 2018 Posted 20 January 2018 Could become a big player but lacks the game intelligence required at the mo. Not sure he quite loves our high tempo press either. See,s to prefer playing at his own pace. 1

foxfanazer Posted 20 January 2018 Posted 20 January 2018 Think people forget how young he is sometimes. The kid is learning his trade at the top level. Just don’t like us writing off young talent 2

baldeagle Posted 20 January 2018 Posted 20 January 2018 (edited) Hopefully signing Diabaté will give him a kick up the arse . He’s a talented kid but to me he comes across to be a bit lazy . I don’t necessarily mean in a game more the fact he expects to play and doesn’t come across as busting a gut to steal someone’s place in the starting 11. It’s as if he just thinks if Riyad leaves he will automatically take his spot . If he’s got Diabaté vying for his place he may just have to pull his finger out. Edited 20 January 2018 by baldeagle
Kinowe Soorie Posted 20 January 2018 Posted 20 January 2018 He lost the ball today and just stood there!? He needs to buck his ideas up, footballer's careers aren't very long. 1
chris_lcfc_85 Posted 20 January 2018 Posted 20 January 2018 Ridiculous criticism again. Granted he was average and granted he's lost his way a little but he's without doubt hugely talented that will blow hot and cold but still young and he'll only improve. Worse case scenario is he gets no better but he cost us 3.5m which is quite embarrassing really in this day and age so hardly a massive loss of money 1

Every time he got it though he wasted it, I can't have that as someone having a good game. It drives me nuts, but I can usually tell if he's going to play well within the opening 10 mins. When he's effective, he's one of my favourite PL players of all time as he's everywhere but when he's bad he stinks the gaff up. 2

AlloverthefloorYesNdidi Posted 20 January 2018 Posted 20 January 2018 Gray still looks a good prospect to me. Still an exciting player, looks to make things happen when he comes on, gets about the pitch well. Has great feet and is a good talent. I knew people would slate him because he didnt pull up trees today, but he was moving us up the pitch and looking to play positive football. Im still confident we'll see more and more from him
