He works hard and won the penalty but overall I thought he was poor or average at best. To be fair i'm quite surprised how divided everyone has been on his performance last night. I'm usually the first to criticise him as he has been crap this season but I honestly thought he was top drawer last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 23 November 2016 Share Posted 23 November 2016 Interesting to see Demarai playing a central role again last night, seems to suit him pretty well. Of course, I still think he can be effective on the wings but he's a good option to have in the CAM role should we want to play that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barky Posted 23 November 2016 Share Posted 23 November 2016 Looked fresh, lively and willing to try and make things happen but all those things should be a given really. There was nothing in that or his other substitute appearances recently that convinces me he's ready to start regularly, although I would support him being given a chance from the start one of these days just to see what he's like against defenders with fresh legs and when he himself starts tiring.

ARM1968 Posted 23 November 2016 Share Posted 23 November 2016 Gray is potentially world class. He needs game time and confidence. He has pace. He has skill. He can pick a pass. Needs to improve his finishing, but that will come with more pitch time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey ARM that's some build up....potential he has....world class potential ....not so sure Problem is his application and ability to listen/learn....Claudio doesn't trust him completely but time will tell I guess...

Mahrez needs to add another move now as people have that pegged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, his left leg is his strongest and we don't have two-footed wingers anyway. Mahrez is a formidable player with so many unsuspected skills. It is a delight to watch him play. His main issues are related to the team system of play rather than to his individual abilities. He is too isolated along that right side and hence heavily marked. This 4-4-2 system requires him to move the ball forward over a long stretch, which is too much to ask from any player. So, he has this tendency to cut back to his left to find someone to pass to, unless he wants to cross the ball to the box with his right foot. This is why I think an attack-minded midfielder would do a lot of good to Mahrez and the team in terms of link-up play in the final third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justfoxes Posted 23 November 2016 Share Posted 23 November 2016 Gray has to start on Saturday against borough the lad is brilliant some great runs last night and if he had more time on the pitch his composure might have been that bit better and he would have probably put away one of those attempts? but the lad is going to be a quality player for us and hope he shows his quality !

He also ran the length of the field to get in a tackle then played a great through ball to Vardy to set up our first, Honestly can't see how anyone could think Albrighton had anything but a very good game last night and was one of our best players.

RoyFox Posted 2 December 2016 Share Posted 2 December 2016 Looks like Demarai is up to his (not so clever) cryptic games again...liked this today, hopefully it's in error. However he's got a track record of this, I know it just be frustrating, but why express this on social media (again). Does he not think it'll get fed back to the club?

RoyFox Posted 2 December 2016 Share Posted 2 December 2016 Doesn't make sense, he'll definitely get 90mins vs Porto and AFCON is getting closer. Game time, exactly what he wants. Hopefully it's in error, have a feeling there could be problems with his attitude behind the scenes. He was late for training last week. Such a talent, would be painful seeing him leave without fufilling his potential with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
