2021/22 Demarai Gray

[Terrarian]

We have so little joy though. So why not just enjoy this to its absolute limit. I am deffo on board and absolutely love it...

I am enjoying it he's had a great start, just not getting carried away. A lot of new signings start great then revert to type. Just not getting the hyperbole after 3 games when he's been in the Prem 5 years.

One really great thing that would come from him continuing to perform like this is he will become example number one of how it doesn't mean jack that the supporters of a club watch the player every week when it comes to evaluating players. Every single Leicester poster who felt the need to offer an opinion had a negative slant. And they all might be wrong.

Fans are too biased to be reasonable in their assessments of players. It's true for all of us.

Not really. I didn’t see one Leicester fan say he didn’t have talent. They said he was inconsistent and his attitude wasn’t right. I think Gray himself would even concede that.

Gray might be great for us but that doesn’t make the Leicester fans wrong, they just said what they saw.

So does that mean we should disregard all fans opinions on players including your own contributions?

Cant ask for a better start, he has set himself the minimum standard I want to see.

Leicester fans formed there opinion of gray over a longer period ,gray could quite easily revert back to his Leicester performances or become the player they hoped he would become ,we won't know the answer to that till the end of the season

I think fan assessments are actually reasonably accurate. There’s outliers where people over/underpreciate certain aspects of a players game, but it’s rare that fans are totally wrong.

I think really this will be down to Benitez, who will not stand for any back sliding.

….presume if Diaz does come in, Gray will be a bit-part player.

Not sure about that Eggs, if he does come we are building up quite a forward line.

Quite right. People need to remember players aren't just brilliant or rubbish. It's not just a matter of white or black. There are also shades of Gray.

 

[Penno]

Christ people don't half go overboard don't they. 3 games that's all, 3 he's had a good start but there is a reason Leicester let him go cheap, he's always had talent it has been a consistency problem. so why not see how he gets on before labelling him the new Ronaldo.

Honestly, people having a go at others who had doubts about him after knowing him for 5 years v 3 games, come on now get a grip. He has to continue in this form.

I can’t see how this will work as a song mate. Is it Jazz?

more likely to see townsend fall down the pecking order imo

more likely to see townsend fall down the pecking order imo

….which would mean Gray (or Diaz) playing on the right.
