When you put it like that the reality numbing, we need to hurry up and get rid of James and find another 2 like Gray, 3 for the price of 1 and the 1 we’ve got in my opinion is better for the team than the 1 we need to get rid of.

And I am very happy to be proven wrong, (as the post you quoted showed) but it is early days. Like I have said to you before, I don't care about his cost. If he is starting games for Everton, he needs to be good enough and so far he is proving to be that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58298530 Quote Demarai Gray: Leeds got what they deserved in the opening exchanges against Everton. I'm no fan of VAR, but referee Darren England's use of the replay check, for the first goal when in doubt, was the right thing to do. How Liam Cooper had the nerve to question his subsequent booking, never mind the penalty he gave away for pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin's shirt practically off his back, beggars belief. As for Everton, I think they are very lucky to have got Rafa Benitez so soon as manager after losing Carlo Ancelotti. The Spaniard has brought in winger Gray, who looked electric against Leeds and is a real talent. Did you know? Gray scored his first Premier League goal for Everton, becoming the 34th different player to score both for and against the Toffees in the competition.

He really has been. Just goes to show what good coaching can do. I bet Leicester fans are sick watching him perform so well. It does worry me that his mental balance seems to be frail though. I hope his chin doesn't drop, but when he inevitably does hit a poor spell of form, it will be interesting to see how he recovers. Meanwhile, I'm loving watching him.

msloan78 Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 I work with a load of Leicester fans, and from the get go their opinion has been that he'll have 1 worldy and then go missing for 2 mths.

Bailey Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 I think a big difference for Gray is playing on the counter attack. For Rodgers at Leicester he was playing against a compact defence where he had little or no space to use his quick feet and dribble at players. Rafa has him playing in space and he is getting him isolated 1 v 1 regularly and it is working wonders.
