Puel was also right and perhaps Benitez is on to something - Gray is better as a striker or playing near the top. He is too one dimensional to play as a winger, but up top he is different. Remember this is what Puel said and now he is doing well at Everton and did similarly in Germany. What a load of tosh, he was very average for Bayer 04 Leverkusen, he's played 2 games for Everton. Lets see how he is doing in 6 months 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another decent player we've lost over the years because our fans didn't like the player without any reason why. Let's not rewrite history because he's scored 1 goal for his new club. If he finds his feet at Everton fair play to him but with us using him mostly on the left it's pretty obvious he was never going to become a regular starter with Barnes making that position his own. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzFOX Posted 21 August 2021 Share Posted 21 August 2021 He also has a point to prove to his doubters but more importantly himself. Lot of factors on why he seems to be doing better outside of LCFC. He had plenty of chances and time with us. Lets not forget his end product which was wildly inconsistent. Of course its frustrating we could realize his potential with us but hey ho it happens. It's one of those cases where a player simply needs pastures new to rediscover himself. I for one with him well but not against us! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerbyshireFox Posted 21 August 2021 Share Posted 21 August 2021 (edited) Gray had more than enough chances over five years and wasn’t consistent enough wherever he played. One good game followed by several bang average ones and poor decision making. If moving to Germany for six months has finally seen him mature and things click for him, fair play to him and all the best. It was never going to work here for him, he needed a fresh start. Let’s see if he can do it consistently week in week out Edited 21 August 2021 by DerbyshireFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw Dykes Posted 21 August 2021 Share Posted 21 August 2021 Gray would often play well whenever he got in the team. Then he'd get complacent and his performances would tail off. Fair play to him if he does well at Everton, but it's far too early to judge. Amazing how quickly people forget what a player was like here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanchflower78 Posted 21 August 2021 Share Posted 21 August 2021 Gray was poor for us end of, had plenty of chances. Good luck to the lad, sometimes a new environment, players, coach etc brings out something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 21 August 2021 Share Posted 21 August 2021 Gray was a head scrambler. At times he was superb and has all the ingredients to be a quality player but at Leicester something stopped him from ever being a serious player. He couldn't be relied upon to play a number of matches on the spin as his performance levels just vanished, he barely ever had a good game from the start for us especially under Rodgers. As an impact player in 2019/20 he was handy. That said Perez still gets flurries of games and is every bit as bad as Gray was when he flopped in games so we might have to take some of the flak for failing to get the best out of him. If he does get the confidence to settle down in their team then who knows how good he could become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
