It's interesting that he's playing the CAM role tonight. I believe he played there for the England U21's and also scored? So 2 apps in CAM, 2 goals, 1 assist.. Regardless of opposition that's not bad.

 

Could he be our back up for Shinji?

A question that occurred to me, I think that the shinji role requires a very unselfish and fairly mature character.  At the moment I wouldn't class DG as either of these. Not to say he couldn't develop under Claudio's guidance. (If he is prepared to)

agreed

 

however if we are planning to use musa primarily on the wing, I think 1 of gray or kaputska has to convert to cam, otherwise we'll be overloaded with wingers.

I was wondering that. Probably Slimani in terms of disruptive behaviour and pressing their players with the ball rather than Gray.

would like to see the lad kick the ball in the prem again soon! impact sub?

players will get there chance this season at some point with the AFCON, injuries and suspensions there should be enough game time for everyone and it is up to them to show claudio why they should be in the team

good to hear!

Anyone got any highlights of the u23s vs spurs? This is all I could find, nice assist by Kaputska and I'm guessing that's Gray who scored.

I think Gray will get his chance. Claudio is taking his time with him. Probably the right thing to do.

probably, but if it's not you'll make sure to say you weren't convinced!

I'm not convinced with Gray? I've posted this before. Sure, he's quick and keen but his final product needs a lot of improvement.

Claudio is doing the right thing with him I reckon. Having him as an impact sub in some games is the way to go with him until he's sure he's ready. And I think this is what Ranieri is doing.

Looks like Kapi was playing as a CM. Some good moves started by him. Who is this Kairo Mitchell, he seems to be our starting CF quite a lot.

Col, I'm really REALLY sorry to do this to you because everyone does what you did, but there is a certain irony in you stating a lack of conviction in a player then suffixing the sentence with a ?, thus suggesting a lack of conviction in your own opinion.

 

Sorry again, but it's a modern linguistic disease that drives me nuts. I will seek the wise counsel of @Izzy Muzzett...

i think he was referencing me, although he missed the point, i wasn't saying he's not convinced about gray, i was referencing his use of "probably" when talking about whether claudio is doing he right thing. if claudio's not, then he can say e was never sure he was doing the right thing. sadly I was being facetious.

For sure. I'm being a pedant about gratuitous punctuation, sadly...

Reminds me so much of Mahrez in his first year with us. I see no reason why he can't be involved more, he should be first choice to replace Mahrez or Albrighton when subsistuted or needing to be rested. I can accept he perhaps shouldn't start over them but Jeffrey Schlupp should be nowhere near him in the pecking order.

Kaputska was toying with them!! Would like to see him involved in the first team. Him or Gray to rotate with Shinji.

When we qualify for the last-16, I want to see both Gray and Kaputska play in the Brugges home game, otherwise there's no other opportunity for the latter unless Ranieri plays him in the FA Cup.

Posted

Kaputska's turn of pace looks a huge asset as well if we deployed him centrally. There aren't many central midfielders who move rapidly but it's a massive asset if you have it. He looks to me more of a central midfielder than a winger from the bits I've seen of him. Really hope he gets a chance soon.

Fook sake! I thought this was a thread about the sundry merits of Gray, not a lesson in prose or a master class in being pedantic! What is this forum coming to?

As mentioned, I think Gray would be a good option for us centrally, particularly in the CAM role where we could utilize his creativity & skill. It's good that he can play out wide or through the middle, gives us options. 

 

Kapustka looks like he could be a real player. He's young but from what I've seen and gathered of him, he's good at getting out of a tight spot, has a few skillful turns, can run with the ball. Exciting player to have and under top coaching here at Leicester, he's going to get better & better.

Might be getting mixed up here, but I thought he played more central for Poland during the European Championships?

Yes it seemed he did, but for his club he was mainly deployed on the left cutting in, possibly in a free role. I certainly think he's more suited to playing centrally from what I gather. He looks gifted.

Of course. But what you wrote made no sense... :)
