JP the Fox Posted 19 June 2017 Share Posted 19 June 2017 So last two games in the U21 Euros Demi has only made two sub appearance against Sweden culminating in about 25 minutes of action. In the first game Jacob/Josh (One of them) Murphy was preferred by Aidy Boothroyd Murphy, who in my (slightly biased) opinion is half the player Gray is. And in the game tonight against Slovakia Swift (FROM FOOKIN READING) Was starting ahead of Gray and was finally subbed for Demi for the final 10 minutes. Demi had started pretty much every under 21 game in the past year leading up to the tournament. So why isn't he playing as much now? I have had my slight doubts about Gray's possible lack of effort and drive and maybe Boothroyd has seen this in training? More worryingly could this be Aidy Boothroyd telling Gray that he needs more playtime at Leicester or else he won't be picked? Sorry for the rant but just realised how odd it is that he isn't playing. ION Ben Chillwell has been having a quality tournament so far (apart from the pen against the Svedes) Hard decision who to play left back come August for Shakey.

Foxxed Posted 19 June 2017 Share Posted 19 June 2017 Hope he forces his way into the England team and picks up some form. Otherwise it's Musa and Albrighton on the wings next season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game against Sweden he came on for 25 mins and I'm not sure he even touched the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoof the ball again...etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spicer Posted 19 June 2017 Share Posted 19 June 2017 We do hype Gray up a bit to much I think. He clearly has talent and he is very gifted when dribbling with the ball, however his decision making and final pass or shooting is pretty meh. I think he is very similar to Traore at Boro, no end product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuna Posted 19 June 2017 Share Posted 19 June 2017 Gray's a bit of a sulker isn't he. Perhaps that's why he's not selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmarteyAndChill Posted 19 June 2017 Share Posted 19 June 2017 He just dosent seem to have the drive to get himself to the next level. As he's only 20 he could go down 2 paths. Work extremely hard and be one of the best players in league; or, be one of those average English wingers who are quick but don't have a end product ala Walcott, Chamberlain etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom27111 Posted 19 June 2017 Share Posted 19 June 2017 He was woeful today. We broke and it was 2 on 2, he could've simply squared it to Abraham. Tried to take his man on and the guy didn't need to put much of a tackle in. I think the attention has gone to his head. Linked with Liverpool, he thinks he's better than he is. Undoubtedly he's talented, but you need to put the work in. Ronaldo is the prime example of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucey Posted 19 June 2017 Share Posted 19 June 2017 Gray has also gotten even less playing time for us under Shakey than Claudio. Maybe he's just not that good? (And some people want Kapi in as well ffs ) Although Boothroyd appears clueless so might not be worth judging him on U21s... I'll let Shakey/Apples/whoever do the judging in preseason. Not against selling Gray if we can get a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual, some of the forum has bigged him up to be Ronaldo, when he ain't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't proved enough in the PL. Even with the english player tax I'd probably take 14m+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
