I can understand him not playing Gray on the wing if he’s worried about the defensive side, and I know Gray is not a forward, but he could do no worse than Maupay, and at least Gray can hold up the ball and draw a foul.
And run with it, take a man on and score an occasional blammo.
 
If he’s gonna play McNeil then I’d be tempted to stick Keane upfront to get on the end of his crosses. Keane isn’t actually a bad finisher and would cause problems in the box! I don’t see the point of playing McNeil if you’re playing Maupay upfront. McNeil can deliver some good balls sure, but he has nothing else to his game and isn’t a goal threat so McNeil and Maupay makes little sense. Gray has goals in him at least and needs to play for me.
His work rate. Then he is one of the few in midfield who can pass a ball, and kick a ball towards the opponent's goal.
 

Gray as a lone striker is a very different proposition to Gray that we have all seen out wide cutting in. Even as a second striker its just a different skillset. For example when Pickford launches a long kick upfield (we may see a lot of that....)Gray offers little more than Maupay
