Gray debate again?

 

he wants to play on the left

 

we have Harvey 

 

he didn’t want to stay here and play on the right as and when 

 

there was some other stuff but that’s the basic 

[Dahnsouff]

Really virilent strain of recency bias going around this winter it seems  

[StanSP]

Just to let you all know, Gray had been absolute dog shite for 2 months which coincided with the rest of their squad also being absolutely dogshite since their last win. 

 

One cracking goal doesn't change anything. He's still inconsistent. He's still not world class and we're still vindicated in selling him.

Seing how good Gray is for Everton is quite sickening but he had more than enough chances here.

 

For whatever reasons, sometimes certain players just don't reach their full potential at certain clubs.

 

Grey has his cut inside trick. He showed it to arsenal for theitmr first goal... then he did it again... and ben Wright let him dummy and get the ball onto his right for the 2nd.

A real pro. 

 

Sounds like he personally pushes Gray in training as well. 

 

Assume we didn't have anyone doing that. 

 

 

On the contrary many players here over the last decade have spoke about how much kasper demands off them. 

[Guest Mee-9]

For me after hearing the interview post match, seems like in training he doesn’t always give it his all.

 

Shame we didn’t have someone like Coleman. 

[wardyfox86]

I see Gray had his 1 good game in 10.

 

 

See you guys again on February.

Like to know how many bets he's lost over the years. Knew someone who won £50000 on a single bet. 5 correct scores accumulator. Eventually lost it all. Spent too much time visiting in a casino. Mistakenly believed that he was "lucky". 

It's crazy addictive when you win big as you think you can just do it again and greed gets the better of you. Gambling definitely is a drug and the way it's become so easy to gamble now makes it 100 times worse. 

 

They always say quit whilst your ahead and hopefully people do. On another note I wonder what those people who won on betting on us winning the league at 5000/1 have done with the money.

Gray this season. Admit he had a good start, fair enough. But I don't remember hearing a peep out of anyone between that form and the last 2 games... 

 

 

No doubt he'll get a customary goal against us but let's see if he can maintain any kind of form for longer than 3 or 4 games. Amazingly, it's the kind of issue he had with us. Who'd have thought?!

All it takes is for an ex player to score 1 goal, regardless of level of performance or opposition, for some of our fans to start stating we should have kept them. They could be completely useless for months, they could be playing non league, but as soon as they score its proof we shouldn't have let them go.

Spurs have 6 player with covid and we play them in 9 days time. Maybe one that will get postponed? 

[FoyleFox]

Spurs hit with Covid outbreak. 6 players and 2 staff testing positive apparently.

All he's got to do is ask it of himself when defending set pieces and dominating the 6 yard box.

what is the rule on cancelling a game?

[moore_94]

I can see West Ham going in early for Tarkowski now, Ogbonna out for the season and Zouma could now be out for a while as well

 

 

[An Sionnach]

Covid into the Spurs first team squad.

Wonder if they fancied Vestergaard? Excellent at the Euros. A snip at £20mn?

 

Bet they don't end up signing Ryan Bennett.

And along the lines of 'PLAY BENKOVIC' as if he's some kind of saviour to all defensive woes

Joking aside obviously it's a deeper issue than just personnel but it is weird how little we've seen of Benkovic

Genuine question what was the most games in a row that Gray started for us? Always seemed like he had a decent impact sub performance and then start 3 games and then be back on the bench

You’d be surprised! 
 

I had the same opinion as you, that it didn’t seem like he was given much of a chance and not that involved but I asked the same question a couple of months ago and someone provided the answers and he did have a fair run of games.

 

If you’re anything like me you probably blocked them out as you were staring into space whilst Puel was boring is to shit…and here we are again, still having the same debates and lack of enthusiasm!
