UPinCarolina Posted 24 April 2017 Share Posted 24 April 2017 I've been, at times, a critic of Gray. Not for his play or potential, but attitude. That said, this report is encouraging. I've been worried we would lose him in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 24 April 2017 Share Posted 24 April 2017 11 hours ago, Ric Flair said: It's a complete myth that he's got a poor attitude, the reality is he absolutely loves playing football and is so eager to make a name for himself. I think we'll see him mature next season when he's given Riyad's gig full time. The problem is that when he is sitting on the bench he most often has a face that looks like a slapped arse. People take that as having a poor attitude. Personally im delighted we have players sitting on the bench who are desperate to play. It means when they do they will most often give it their all.

But in the event we lose one of them it would be nice to have an athletic speed merchant like Schluup or Dyer to give us that extra option to stretch defences and reach the byline. Why. When do our wingers reach the byline. We play them on the wrong side so they hav to cut in. They never even swap over. swapping over would be a great move with slim or Ulloa on. Out swinging crosses would be so much better for them than in swingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes21 Posted 25 April 2017 Share Posted 25 April 2017 Imo I'd like to see him at CF, competing for Vardy's spot. He's played there for England, so the transition shouldn't be that difficult. Sign a new number 10 to partner Vardy & an Okazaki/Gray partnership could be solid back up. Just going to be honest.. He hasn't shown any of the qualities required to play regularly in our system, on the wing or at number 10. He's a liability defensively and going forward. Defensively he's inconsistent with his tracking back and loses concentration. Going forward he's selfish and lacks end product. It wouldn't surprise me if Tom Lawrence shows in the summer he's a better fit in our system on the wing. I don't see any harm trying Gray out at CF.

Redouane Posted 27 April 2017 Share Posted 27 April 2017 Why is there such a hype for Gray? He's a decent player, but he isn't amazing either. His crossing is terrible, he's sometimes selfish with the ball opting to shoot rather than pass, ect. The only thing I like with Gray is his pace.

He has delivered some great crosses as well as some desperately poor ones. Same with his shots and passes. He does have decent technique though and has the ability to go past players. If coached correctly he can become a good player in time. Don't underestimate pace either. It's a primary attribute for an offensive player. If you haven't got it, you are naturally limited. That said, if Mahrez and Albrighton are performing then few would pay much attention to Gray. But when they aren't, Gray gets hyped up as the best alternative. It happens frequently on FT whenever any given player does not perform according to expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well alot on here were wanting Leo to start because Shinji is underperforming lately and Slimani is unfit, but we've seen how it went with him on the pitch. Barely any impact yesterday. So the morale of the story, if a player is underperforming don't bring in someone worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxInTheBirstallBox Posted 6 May 2017 Share Posted 6 May 2017 If his attitude is to bitch and whine when ever he doesn't start them bin him off, he is a good prospect yes but he is no where near a starter for us If he can't see that he needs to sit down and look at Albrightons performance today and learn Either shut up and get good or **** off because I can't be doing with this shit attitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniFox21 Posted 6 May 2017 Share Posted 6 May 2017 What really summed it up for me today was him being on for 10 minutes and trotting back to get the ball Then there's Albrighton 80 minutes in his legs charging back to win the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 27 May 2017 Share Posted 27 May 2017 Urghh, surely we wouldn't sell him for that little. Though if he's rated as poorly by the club as he is by the fans then that's probably about right. I have no doubt he'd get more game time with Liverpool than with us. Klopp actually tries to bring through young players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al-aLondon-Foxile Posted 27 May 2017 Share Posted 27 May 2017 I can't see us allowing two contracted players in Mahrez and Gray to leave in the same window. Remember we don't have to sell either of them, but if RM leaves then the possibilities for DG to claim his desired first 11 place increases. He needs to knuckle down and train on, stop listening to the 'hangers on' and become the best he can as an actual football player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not had a choice, their squad depth is appalling - how many of their young players have actually broken through under Klopp in the season and a half he's been there? 0?

Not just DG people on here pass of there own thoughts as fact on every player. You only have to read all the Kasper is only going to one club bollox.
