TheMightySystem Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 Did well today, less selfish, put the ball into the box after not giving up on a bit of poor control which led to the penalty and tracked back multiple times and put in a good defensive shift. Would start both him and Mahrez next week.
DennisNedry Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 1 hour ago, Koke said: Mahrez found a white shirt more than a blue shirt today but I'm sure you will have no probs starting him agsin next week. Gray didn't do much wrong today. He was as good/bad as the rest of the team. Go find another scapegoat for this week. 50 minutes ago, Fox92 said: Offered very little apart from draw the goalkeeper which led to Vardy winning the penalty. When Mahrez beat a player and then didn't pass to Vardy, instead tried to beat more..... if that was Gray it'd be picked out consistently on here. To be fair I've been critical of both. Mahrez was shite too. Also Vardy won the penalty, it was the defender selling the keeper short that led to it.
UniFox21 Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 Fair few times today he was in space on the left and wasn't found etc. But seemed fairly effective with the ball
Old Fox Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 I don't see it.......he was bang average at best......show pony at times takes too many touches and flatters to deceive .....would have to show a lot lot more to be in any starting 11 in my book something about his general demeanour and approach that bloody irritates me but I maybe a minority of one!!
DennisNedry Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 I'd loan him out to a top Championship side. He's not good enough yet to justify game time here, but he needs to be playing regularly to improve.
CosbehFox Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 Wasnt great today by any means but markedly working hard without the ball
funkyrobot Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 When he's not got the ball, he drifts in to the middle far too often when there's no space or reason to do it. It's almost as if at times he doesn't want the ball. He didn't pull up any trees for me today. Not many did tbf, but not many others have been constantly moaning about lack of game time to the press. Gray has added that pressure on himself.
foxinsox Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 He looked good today, several good runs, and our penalty was won by him as much as Vardy. He also got back and defended. Credit where it is due.

He had nothing to do with the pen apart from loosing the ball, vardy was the one who got in the right place at the right time and got the pen by looking for an opportunity to score

So yes he played a big part in the penalty
fleckneymike Posted 10 September 2017 Posted 10 September 2017 Thought Gray was ineffective at best. His passing accuracy was 60%. That's lower than Kasper!
Jimmy Posted 10 September 2017 Posted 10 September 2017 I thought Gray made the right decisions yesterday but didn't execute them properly, tracked back just as well as Albrighton did and provided more of an attacking threat and when he did lose the ball he was immediately snapping back to try and win the ball
chris_lcfc_85 Posted 10 September 2017 Posted 10 September 2017 Get off his back lads. He's barely featured and then gets 45 mins against Chelsea and people now saying he's not ready etc... Come on! He did OK when he came on, nothing amazing but certainly worked hard and tried to make things happen. Not to mention he covered Defensively numerous times. Hard to judge a player until he gets a run of games but people questioning if he's good enough, seriously have a word

chris_lcfc_85 Posted 10 September 2017 Posted 10 September 2017 To be fair, Chelsea nullified our wingers very well
Finley Parsons Posted 10 September 2017 Author Posted 10 September 2017 Thought he played well when he came on yesterday tracked back and tried to create chances, he did more than Mahrez and he was on the pitch for 90 mins.
Ted Maul Posted 10 September 2017 Posted 10 September 2017 He's absolutely braindead at times. Constantly making the wrong runs and being in the wrong place, drifted inside countless times yesterday when there was space behind their wingback. The lad's got plenty to learn before he can be anywhere near as good as he thinks he already is.

Would you rather watch a playing who's an exciting prospect, willing to learn (I believe he is) and adds a spark or player giving a half arsed performance who adds a spark but not half as often as he used to...I know what i'd choose.
the fox Posted 10 September 2017 Posted 10 September 2017 Him and Marc pretty much had the same performance, the game passed them by, but as the foxestalk tradition goes, good old albrighton did nothing wrong but "bad boy" gray cost us the game!
the fox Posted 10 September 2017 Posted 10 September 2017 Play 4-3-3 next game with iborra, James and n'didi in midfield and gray, vardy and !mahrez in attack!
Guest Danny Clender Posted 10 September 2017 Posted 10 September 2017 Forthwith, Gray has to start. It is that simple. No more sub, he hast to start in the first 11. Shakespeare wanted the big time, this is his time to prove it.
