shailen Posted 23 June 2020 Share Posted 23 June 2020 Maddison, Vardy, Mendy, Ndidi, Justin - 5 players that were worse than him today. You can't slate him for dropping points today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzFOX Posted 23 June 2020 Share Posted 23 June 2020 Rogers has lost the plot and the momentum. someone please ask him what his plan is to fix this situation? The spectacular fall from grace is entirely on him. Can’t live up the praise and not take the blame when it all falls apart. Not good and we expect much much better from him.

I think BR has lost us the 2 points today and that’s going to cost us There certainly were far worser players today, and he's not done enough to warrant taking majority of the criticism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuntman_Mike Posted 23 June 2020 Share Posted 23 June 2020 He was still woeful. Not putting his body infront of the ball to win fouls and to ease pressure. There was a few times the ball was there to be challenged for and he didn't try hard enough. Still needs moving on, we can't hide behind two slightly improved performances which only look better because of how poor everyone else has looked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im flabbergasted anyone is criticising him. For me he’s got himself a starting place away to Everton, if we set up our midfield better today we’d have won the game. The reason he, Vards, nacho and madders were living off scraps is because we’re playing 2DMs, 1 of which is league 1 standard at best 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paninistickers Posted 23 June 2020 Share Posted 23 June 2020 What a strange post match reaction. He was amongst on three or four players who turned up today. Kept ball in tight situations, some nice touches and a nice cutback cross in second half which someone should've read. Him, Chilly, Evans and Barnes when he came on were all half decent. Soyuncu and Kelechi and maddison about a 5. The rest a sub par 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the fox Posted 23 June 2020 Share Posted 23 June 2020 (edited) Gray is the kind of player that will always get the blame because the expectations are just too high. He would develop if he played regularly in a bottom-10 team in the PL where he can try things and get the experience. He is in a situation where 5/10 and 6/10 performances are not allowed in the eyes of some and he lacks thae game-winning moments (for now) that would make most people look beyond 89 minutes of average football.

matty98 Posted 23 June 2020 Share Posted 23 June 2020 Gray was fine today. Our problem was not getting the ball forward quickly enough. What's he supposed to do when he gets the ball and there's no movement and their team are all in position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 23 June 2020 Share Posted 23 June 2020 I'd say he was probably in the top half of our performers but that isn't saying much - and ultimately produced nothing, again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bert Posted 23 June 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 23 June 2020 The whole team yet again produced little. Gray tried to be positive. He worked hard. Some people will always hang him out to dry regardless. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no point in Gray being ‘fine’ or ‘working hard’ - the fact is yet again that he has been given the chance and he simply hasn’t taken it. This is not hanging someone out to dry, this is accepting that it’s not working for the lad when he starts. He is an impact sub for us and after all this time I’m afraid that’s as good as it’s going to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 23 June 2020 Share Posted 23 June 2020 Same old story, earns his place in the side on merit and then fails to deliver. (I’m thinking back to Man U away too). I thought he was one of our better performers today but I have no idea what position he was playing and what system we were playing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However his stats compared to Gray’s speak for themselves. It’s all about influencing the game when you are in a creative role (Goals, assists, chances created) and Maddison influences the game much more than Demi Gray. Simple as that.

He always received the ball surrounded and blocked by 3 players,only in the 2nd half could he stretch his legs,but again too near the line...

Ian Nacho Posted 23 June 2020 Share Posted 23 June 2020 If you think Gray was the worst player on the pitch have a look at yourself. Probably the best attacking player we had but that is me clutching at straws when saying attacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyrobot Posted 23 June 2020 Share Posted 23 June 2020 We were at our most attacking after he’d been subbed off tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
