CosbehFox Posted 7 July 2020 Posted 7 July 2020 Summed in his sub appearance Brilliant assist. Four minutes left sticks a cross in the chest of the Arsenal keeper
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 7 July 2020 Posted 7 July 2020 He did well tonight, well he created the goal which is more than perez managed who was utterly dreadful. I'd start him over perez without doubt if it's between the 2. 1
Lesta2014 Posted 7 July 2020 Posted 7 July 2020 Just now, Blue and white said: We never recovered after that stupid foul he gave away just into stoppage time when we were completely dominant. Correct needless foul and killed all momentum I said that at the time and game fizzled out, arsenal were looking for any excuse to go down
Paninistickers Posted 7 July 2020 Posted 7 July 2020 I like him. He's dangerous and he's unpredictable and opponents don't like him.
chris_lcfc_85 Posted 7 July 2020 Posted 7 July 2020 Like it or not, he's having much more impact currently than barnes and he cant be worse than albrighton 1

Whilst we all sometimes see games differently, to say he was utterly dreadful is ridiculously harsh 2 2
Leicester_Loyal Posted 7 July 2020 Posted 7 July 2020 He'll only ever be a squad player here, but occasionally he does something worthwhile like the assist tonight. The difference is at the minute we've got 5 subs, rather than 3, so he's getting used more. Fair play for creating the goal tonight though.

Would start any of our wingers/attackers over him next game after that performance he was our worst offensive player on the pitch I thought. 1 1

Apart from Iheanacho who obviously started tonight he’s the only player I look at on our bench who could come on and impact the game offensively when we’re losing/drawing. Although that probably says more about our options rather than his ability

Arriba Los Zorros Posted 7 July 2020 Posted 7 July 2020 Gray is awful. Sorry. Whether he created the goal or not, every dog has his day. I'm fed up of us building up moves for minutes, getting players forward only for Gray to put a terrible inswinger straight into the keepers arms. We can do so much better for an impact sub. 2
Nick Posted 7 July 2020 Posted 7 July 2020 Gray was a breath of fresh air when he came on. Confidence in the ball, forward thinking great work rate and good skills.

I like Barnes but he was terrible when he came on. I'd still start him over perez though as I get the feeling barnes might be able to create or do something, I just don't get that from perez. It's clear we aren't exactly blessed with a wealth or winging talent.

Leicester_Loyal Posted 7 July 2020 Posted 7 July 2020 The difference is Gray is 24 years old in his 5th season in the EPL. Barnes is 22 in his second season in the EPL.
Heymister2015 Posted 7 July 2020 Posted 7 July 2020 Gray has more assists off the bench than any other player in the league with 8

It's clear we aren't exactly blessed with a wealth or winging talent. These games shows how much Pérez isn’t a wide man! He caused much more problems centrally which we all kinda knew anyway! He’s one hell of a frustrating player tho, he’ll do something really good but will finish off trying to much and loses it! Still want to see him more in those central positions, much be difficult playing wide for so long then coming back in the middle. 1
TJB-fox Posted 7 July 2020 Posted 7 July 2020 Let’s give him credit where credit is due. Came off the bench and played well. Got the assist. That’s all there is to say tonight. Onto the next 2

I'm not sure about this. Apart from the last game Barnes has been poor for a while whereas Gray has actually been quite good on a number of occasions. I think potential wise yes Barnes has abundance, but does he fulfil it? Who knows! You have to give credit where credit is due. Gray made a huge difference when he came on. Looked lively and created things.

While I agree Barnes was poor tonight he literally got two assists just last game as a sub. Barnes and Gray are both decent players that have good and bad games, and usually have better impact against tiring defences so I think Rodgers is right to just hope one of them comes on and does something brilliant. The only thing both of them show is that we are desperate for a new winger that is more consistent.
