2022/23 Demarai Gray

[maccavennie]

He looked like a sulky kid with a smacked arsed when he came off the bench. And then proved why he been lefted on the bench, running up blind alleys, slowing it down when he had the young Patterson going pass and over lapping but just turning inside instead. Just no a team player in my eyes.

Yeah I was really disappointed with him today. I'm not a big fan but he does have that ability to whip in a decent ball and score the odd cracker but that was doing less than the bare minimum when he came on.

Like you said, Patterson had ran about 60 yards to overlap him but he just slowed everything down, ignored him and we went backwards when there wasn't a need to.

Disappointing performance from Demarai Gray against Man City today. Watching Nathan Patterson overlapping and getting into position to cross the ball only to be ignored by Gray was infuriating.

Gray finds it easier to beat two men and smash one in top corner than give a simple pass to an overlapping full back.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Played a big part in that Palace game with a sexual cross for Lewin to head in, and let's see some more of those today as he'll have plenty of six footers to aim at on set pieces. Come on Demarai lad.

If this was the other way around and he had left us to play for somebody else,
I would be convinced he would score the goal that puts us down.
So in reverse
He will score the goal that relegated Leicester .
come on do it , it's karma

 

[everton fan number one]

Fancy him for a screamer in the first 20 minutes

 

[jonnyg]

Looked like his hamstring had gone at the end, wasn't smart to play on but love the effort

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Ran his socks off, gave everything his small frame could when trying to be a target man back to goal and sparked some really good moments for us in the first half in particular, top game today.

My POY

Never hid, scored big goals, biggest attacking threat we have and did what was told. Yes, he's not top top level and can have drops in form. We also want him to be better than he can be.

And for a team with the weakest attack in the league...you still had a chance with him playing.

 

[Paulie]

People around me screaming that he was lazy blah blah. He'd literally just ran about 50 yards chasing the ball. He put a proper shift in, out of position, in a horrificly tense game.

That said, he's a bit brain dead and should be nothing more than a squad player.

 

[deipnosophist]

I like the lad. Needs to get his head up more often

you can't be serious?

i don't mind gray, but POY?

scored big goals????

he scored 4 goals, 2 of which were pens.

his goals got us 3 points in total.

he's not someone we should be actively looking to sell. but POY ahhahaha

 

[toffeemeister77]

I like Gray, he did look nervy Yesterday but obviously understandable.

The kid has some craft but has unreliable output so ideally he would be an option off the bench.

When you think he cost £1.7 million when Bolasie cost £30 million or Walcott at £20 million he's been a great signing.

Opinions innit mate.

Only one who's been consistent to me. Tarko close like but I can't get over giving a defender when there's been games where the defence has been shocking.

Maybe the true impact as a great signing comes when we sell him now for 12m profit and re-invest in better/more potential/more impact/more consistent
