2021/22 Demarai Gray

[Simon Buttle]

He’s being asked to be more displaced and hold the shape and pit in covering shifts, it’s not his strong point but wouldn’t fault his application. Won’t do him any harm. I don’t think he has as much licence under Frank as he had under Benitez, but then again we’re at the business end now and all that matters is the bottom line.

I also wonder is this the fist time he’s played this many PL mins in a single season.

No, he featured in 41 games for Brum aged 18 in his second season as a pro.

That was The Championship.

Yeah I know, it was more about the minutes tbh.

Really mate, I checked myself after I wrote above, just out of curiosity, the PL has him at 2199 mins for us this season, his next highest they has 18/19 at 1978, Brum may may have been in the Champo perhaps.

Yeah they were, he played 2551 mins. I didn't realise you just meant his PL mins.

It’s an interesting point isn’t it, if you take Demari on one flank and Flash on the other neither has gone this deep into these PL season playing this many mins or had that experience before.

 

[Nymzee]

Championship is a harder season than the PL. Fight me.

 

[2xpetes]

Hardly broke a sweat

 

[bag a yoko]

The key contributor to both goals.
Absolutely brilliant.

 

[ZissouBlue]

Demarai's contributions going a little under the radar, but he made a massive difference. The run for the second goal and the delivery for the third were both class. I love Gordon, but we don't win this game if that substitution isn't made. He combined well with Iwobi and Dele, too. That could be a really exciting trio if they all stay around.

I just felt something was coming when the camera showed him standing in front of Gwladys, waiting to take that free kick. Like, this moment could become a legend. And what a brilliant delivery that was. Well done

Made a massive difference for us today

It was a massive impact.

I hope people appreciate how perfect that delivery from Gray was for Dom's header

And that sky in the background too…what a moment. What a night.
