StanSP Posted 28 January 2020 Share Posted 28 January 2020 Really not happy with his (limited) contribution today. Especially given he should have been fresh and raring to go. What exactly is he doing for the goal? He tells someone to close Grealish down but then stands watching Elmohamady cross the ball? What's his impact there? Why no pressure on the ball? Also have no idea what else he did when he came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post baronfox Posted 28 January 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 28 January 2020 (edited) If you watch it again, you can see that Gray has an eye on Grealish who moves out wide. Gray is undecided on what to do. leave the lad alone. Bit harsh this criticism Edited 28 January 2020 by baronfox 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s Ricardo man, he’s at fault. Respectfully disagree. Instead of backing up all the way to Siberia, if he had come out to meet El Mohammedy and put a little pressure on the cross, even if he didn't stop the cross it would have been delivered hurriedly and with probably less precision. Everything else follows from that miscue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 28 January 2020 Share Posted 28 January 2020 Haha never Gray's fault. Chillwell keeps drifting inside. So Gray either leaves Grealish free or holds off. Happened 4 or 5 times in the game. It must be a tactical thing as Targett had that kind of space 2 or 3 times first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvaldo Posted 28 January 2020 Share Posted 28 January 2020 I’m done with him. I’m out. Last few mins in a semi final against his boyhood side’s arch-rival and he just stands there. Drop me out, I’m done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvaldo Posted 28 January 2020 Share Posted 28 January 2020 I’ve witnessed first-hand one of @GingerrrFox’s post space cake shîts put up more fight and endeavour attempting to stay afloat on the 5th flush in a dodgy Amsterdam hotel ensuite, than the effort Gray put in tonight to stop that cross. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhandfox Posted 29 January 2020 Share Posted 29 January 2020 He's no more at fault then Soyuncu or Riccardo, however because he has less in the credit bank, so he's easier to single out and criticise. Yes he could have stopped the cross, but the other two could have judged it flight better and dealt with it. In fact both Soyuncu and Riccardo were culpable for the first goal.

Yeah he lost two balls played into him from midfield consecutively. The second of which started the passage of play leading to the goal. He is either still not ready to play much part in the first team or is just not good enough. I'll add that Ive now seen the last 4 managers (I think) scream in apparent frustration at him when he just switches off and neither works to find space going forward or chases back when he loses the ball.

Muzzy_Larsson Posted 29 January 2020 Share Posted 29 January 2020 Never seen it with this guy, never watched him once and been impressed, the very definition of someone who flatters to deceive, would be amazed if he ever made it at Leicester, a championship player if ever there was one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect this had been drummed into him when he came on. Watch the move - gray is drawn towards el mohamedy but thinks twice as he drops back to cover grealish - that’s what effect a really good player has - he only has to stand still to affect the game !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows you didnt watch or understand the moment closely....Gray was Left alone covering 2 dangerous players..there was a Villa man also outside him, so he was stuck in Nomansland...Devil He does,Devil he doesnt situation..!!! If he would of gone in gungho on El Mohammedi,there was an easy pass to the Villa guy,free on the wing....!! Normally our defence, Ricardo + Soyu, would of have that Cross covered,but both missread the moment and Flight of the ball,Schmeichel Let himself Play for a deflection,Not the path of the ball.....All mistakes in the game of football.... should we crucify the other 3...???? Where Ricardo Shouldnt have tried the stretch,but made his whole Body big to Block or Head out the danger.he was slow getting there....but thats no negative critic,just what happens when players turn Off for a second... Its a painfull frustrating journey with Gray,its up to BR,to See if he can still Advance Grays potential....Nacho is turning his potential slowly in the right direction. There is something within Gray,if it can be harnassed by Rodgers,then Great ,if Not BR will know what to do..!!! My advice, "go on Gray lad Grab this chance,and Play your game,become more selfish,but still Heads up for other runners."... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But our defending was weak whole game so I'd wager it's a collective issue. Love Ricardo and he’s probably been our best player this season but he was weak for their winning goal but the blame seems to lie with Gray, if it had been Chilwell caught out like that this place would of gone into meltdown.
