2022/23 Demarai Gray

[Clarky cat]

Did fine enough again, putting in the effort to press as well. Unlucky with the goal but looked like it came off his chest and then on to his right arm changing the direction of the ball? Not sure, but I’m not a grown man who always used to get picked last in the playground football match who can now dish out his revenge on those better at football than him.

Should have been a goal.

Quality strike as well, Raya did well to get there.

Good two way play.

Excellent shift all around:

Done well in the centre , ran out of legs but by far the best we have for that position atm

 

[Cels]

I thought Demarai Gray did well today. Put in 100% and should have had a goal.

I think the center suits him. He has the physical tools of a winger but his decision making out there was poor. It’s a lot simpler for him to be near goal, he can be more direct.

I was against playing him up there, but he’s definitely shown he’s a better option than maupay and simms. I think it’s just the fact that defenders know he’s a threat, makes such a difference.

Keep him there for now.

Exactly he can't be left along its too risky for them

 

[YoboCopter]

Ye i actually think hes better here than on wing

 

[The binman chronicles]

For what he has been asked to do he has performed very well. His workrate has been top notch, hunting down the ball, going up for headers against grocks he probably can't win and getting clattered for it. That said he isn't making it a freebie for them.

Unlucky not to have scored with his shot and with the VAR call although I haven't seen that yet to really comment. Just boils my pee that it can't be clear and obvious if they have to check it for more than 10 seconds. I hate celebrating knowing at any second it can be taken away from us. It is making it pointless being in the stands nowadays.

 

[Mark Bisson]

The best we have as a nine right now. Presses well and has a goal in him every game. Massively unlucky today, criminal even.

 

[leslad]

Most I've seen him run for us, proper boss shift

Maupay and Simms sounds like an 80s American cop show. Two hardened broads on the detective beat for the New York Police Department’s 10th Precinct.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

We need his pace on the pitch.

 

[peteblue]

We need his pace on the pitch.

Pace is everything…well that and the ability to put a small ball into a bleeding large net…..

 

[Lanolin]

He needs to do a bit more when the balls played up to him I think. I know he’s not a natural there but there were a few times when he just made it too easy to take the ball off him when we needed him to get a hold of it. Still probably the best option at the moment though.
