2021/22 Demarai Gray

[GoldenToffee]

Absolutely miles better than Iwobi on the right. If Townsend can be his understudy I'd love to think we can offload Iwobi, but know it's much more in hope than expectation.

 

[Bluestar]

Good player for 1990's money. What's not to like.

Well we didn’t spend a fortune so he must be rubbish.

 

[mike91efc]

Thought he was better on the wing to be honest. Bit too ineffective in the middle for my liking. Looks a steal of a signing though!

 

[AmericasToffee]

top speed, acceleration, agility. All the pace. Good pickup

Thought that was more down to us constantly playing wide though. If we had played through the middle more he may have seen the ball more. Problem is Doucs/Alllan just clearly instructed to get the ball wide.

I thought he looked bright though. There was an attempt in the first half where he tried to play Richarlison in which was direct which is what we've been missing. Another day it makes it through.

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Thought he was the poorest midfield/attacking player on the pitch for us today. Just didn’t get involved enough. Has pace though and was a bit better when he went to left midfield 2nd half.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Two very good crosses today, and had the pace to trouble them. For £1.5m, if he keeps it up, he’ll be an absolute bargain. Better on the left it has to be said.

 

[TheBigIguana]

He's a useful wide player who might grow into the role. The pretending he's a striker thing should end now.

Yeah true that mate. We look to have a bit of pace about us now which is good. Another cb, rb and Cm and I think we will look miles better.

Godfrey and Mina will be a better partnership if it happens.

CM and RB is absolutely crucial though I agree.

 

[Encoder]

He actually runs at people and is positive. We've been crying out for traits like these. Think he will be very useful for us this year.

 

[wainy]

Was 100x better on the left, great debut.

 

[GoodisonRoadSupperBarWool]

Nice to have two wingers for once. Wasn’t overly keen on him first half but he could be a great outlet away from home when looking to play on the counter.

 

[LostLegend]

Looked alright today. Great to have that injection of pace and looked dangerous on a few occasions.

If he can continue to improve and be consistent, may be a very good signing for the price.
Early days, mind!

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

I like him, decent on the left
