Lesterlad Posted 31 August 2019 Share Posted 31 August 2019 Gray was good today. Then you read tosh when so called fans question his decision making. Doesnt matter what he and some players do some fans will find fault. Sorry but for me his 20 mins was far more productive then what Barnes did all the time he was on but nothing will be said 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleolly Posted 31 August 2019 Share Posted 31 August 2019 Looked on it today when he came on final product was still lacking abit but let’s hope him not making the first team squad the first couple of weeks has been a kick up the arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paninistickers Posted 31 August 2019 Share Posted 31 August 2019 Loved his very first touch today. I'm a Gray fan. Frustrating, yes....but one of my ways of judging a player is seeing how opponents react and shape up to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 31 August 2019 Share Posted 31 August 2019 Some people just don't like him and find it impossible to say how well he played and how good he looked when he plays well. He was great today and created more chances in his half hour than we had in our first 3 games (well not really but you get the idea!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolo Barella Posted 31 August 2019 Share Posted 31 August 2019 I really hope this is a new page turned for him, but have the feeling that if he gets a start it'll be business as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rorab Posted 31 August 2019 Share Posted 31 August 2019 I think despite impressing in his cameo, he should continue to be an option from the bench for a bit. He looked better today than for a fair while in a Leicester shirt having been dropped for a while from the squad, and presumably been told he needs to improve, and I think giving him gametime from the bench with tiring legs could do a lot for his confidence rather than potentially be in from the off one game after a good cameo. Hopefully it'll make him hungrier and more likely to work hard to get his spot back and that can only be a good thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pass attempt to Vardy, after his dazzling run, was absolutely impossible, no matter how you look at it. He went for the nutmeg, which wasn't the best option to say the least, especially in this area. Don't get me wrong, I appreciated his appearance, but I have yet to see him do something that makes you wonder why he's on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He almost scored as well. That was the best I'd seen Gray play in a while. Edited 31 August 2019 by srex9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norwichfox Posted 31 August 2019 Share Posted 31 August 2019 I thought he looked a good, tricky player today and given that level of improvement over a while will put a lot fear into defenders. Went up a lot in my estimation today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charl91 Posted 31 August 2019 Share Posted 31 August 2019 I think the problem for me is both him and Barnes look great off the bench, when they come up against tired legs, but fail to impress when getting a start, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 31 August 2019 Share Posted 31 August 2019 Thought he was better today - brought on at the right time actually, exactly the kind of situation in a game where he was likely to thrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treer Posted 31 August 2019 Share Posted 31 August 2019 Demari looked today, as if he is finally taking on board what the coaches must have been trying to instill into him for the last 2 years. I hope I am right, because we will we have the best winger in the prem, if the intelligence of when to pass suddenly clicks.

SheppyFox Posted 31 August 2019 Share Posted 31 August 2019 Looked good today, I really don’t usually rate him either. Hoping he’ll do well under BR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammo Posted 31 August 2019 Share Posted 31 August 2019 Hope springs eternal. That was as good a cameo as Gray has ever produced. His very first touch - a dazzling layoff - set the tone and he gave the Bournemouth defenders a torrid time thereafter. Just a shame he couldn't crown his display with a goal, but massively encouraging nevertheless from a talented player who I think a lot of us had just about given up on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty2702 Posted 31 August 2019 Share Posted 31 August 2019 Thought he did very well when he came on. A player who often gets the ‘sulky’ label despite there being very little evidence of this. In his 30 mins there were a couple of times he held the ball well under pressure and played clever balls for the players breaking beyond. He also got back into position often to break up play. By no means am I saying at this moment in time he deserves to start, however I am saying he deserves credit for coming on today and showing a very good attitude.

His thought process today I thought was spot on from numerous previous occasions where he’d take a 25 yard strike rather then playing it simple. Got me out my seat today three times which was very promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJB-fox Posted 31 August 2019 Share Posted 31 August 2019 Just imagine if Rodgers can enhance Gray into the player he can be. Would be like a fantastic new signing. I’m a massive fan of Gray, desperate to see him do well here, I think a lot of the stick he gets here in regards to his attitude is ridiculous. Often the case with young, flash footballers that the average Joe can’t relate to. Unless any of you know him personally or watch him in training every day any comments about his attitude and professionalism are bizarre and/or made up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
