Gray ??

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Don't think he's up to much and never has been TBH. Far too reliant on the same tricks and moves every time for a winger

[lcfc sheff]

He’s literally had one okay game and everyone is back to hating him again! What a load of plonkers

Bournemouth are 3rd

You know what I mean by top 6. I obviously wasn't referring to a table 5 games in! Also... even if I did mean current top 6, he was shit against Bournemouth so it reinforces my point

No argument that he is very poor just think  people dont give Bournemouth  any credit.

I'll give them all the credit in the world if they're still in that position in May

Strange ,he always seems to have a good game for England!

Against who though?

 

I'm not completely sold on him because he can rip Latvia or Kazakhstan's youth defenders to shreds.

I don't hate him but I find him difficult to like.

 

Football ability aside for a moment, I can't see much past his smacked arse face, thick brummie accent, Beats headphones and Louis Vuitton hand bag.

 

I'm sure he's a nice kid but his image represents all I that hate about modern footballers.

 

P.S. He's bang average at football

 

[Always Next Year]

Struts around the pitch, thinks he is a Champions League player, finished after 20 mins. Really good at giving out the oranges at half time.

Never have rated him, still don’t needs to listen and learn and stop trying to win the game on his own.

Been given more than a chance to prove himself but can not make the step up to required level.

[Shane]

He’s better at RW. On the left he’s too predictable especially against deep defences. 

 

When he’s playing RW he can just run to the bar line like Schlupp and cause some havoc. Also he had a few decent shots inside the box on the right which looked more dangerous than his usual curlers from the left which go wide.

I think there's a case for the three behind Vardy to all train to interchange position throughout games. Gray does cause problems both on the left and right but he needs to vary his play up more to pose more danger, likewise Albrighton and Ghezzal and even Maddison could be even more devastating by drifting across the front three.

[cropstonfox]

Definetley better on the right wing.He has to bomb on and cross as he don't have a left foot.Could end up as a right wing back in a few years

Well we looked better when he came on yesterday.

Ghezzal and Amartey should not be playing together down the right,

neither look capable of causing a threat. Gray on poor day looks

more of a threat than Ghezzal.

[HighPeakFox]

I don't understand - Ghezzal has one disappointing half and he's 'inept', 'poor', 'a waste of money'. He looked by far the biggest threat vs Bournemouth and did very well against Liverpool too. People choose their evidence to suit their argument so much, much like with Puel.

I mean they're different types of players, offering different things.

Ghezzal is Mahrez-esque predominantly 1 footed and able to drop the shoulder and drift inside with some skill and pick a pass. Gray is much more direct, runs at people and is able to do so without direct support from fullbacks. Whilst Ghezzal performs better with that overlap to almost prevent him being double marked

You should understand by now .

I don’t dislike either player but looking at the team sheet yesterday and seeing that combination as our right side was very underwhelming. 

 

As for Gray, great on the right running at people, his work ethic has improved noticeably, but he still has to work on his vision and variety of play. He shoots when there’s a pass on, drifts out wide when there’s gaps in the centre, hangs back when there’s space in front to be attacked. He’s got all the ability in his feet, if he can get it all to click then we’ve a gem, but we’ve said that for years now.

Amartey, Pereira, Evans, Chilwell, Mendy, Gray, Kelechi - all had this done to them in recent weeks.

People on here always have to have a scapegoat whether we win or lose with Morgan not playing Ghezzal took that accolade on Saturday.

you do realize its ok to say Ghezzal had a stinker on Saturday, as he did, doesn't mean anyone has written him off he was just poor

[UPinCarolina]

Gray provided a spark when he came off of the bench. Ghezzal was, as many have said, largely invisible. This will happen with a player like him from time to time. It's good that Gray is having to compete for minutes; I think that Puel knows what he is doing when it comes to bringing up these young players.

[fuchsntf]

I am happy that we ..yes WE have Gray...Albright on.....and Ghezzal,that no other club have them on their books.

 

one immensely experienced quality player,2 young guns making their mark on the PL...

anybody believing the nonsense  they ain't PL level......have to go really on some team bonding exercise and training.

and learn about other people......Always these really silly posts discrediting younger players,who haven't started their full

pl careers..

[Fosse93]

Trouble with Gray is he doesn't have the necessary qualities to be a top half premier league winger, don't think he'll make much of a striker either despite what Puel has been spouting.

 

I honestly think his best position would be a centre mid in a 4-3-3, his tackling and work rate has improved immensely over the last few months, and despite his flaws he does have 'something' about him. Think Oxlade-Chamberlain for Liverpool sorta thing... Gray is at his best when playing instinctively, and he wouldn't get anywhere near as much time on the ball in the middle of the pitch.

 

Just a thought...
