I noticed at the time but have been reminded of it watching that clip - did any players celebrate/congratulate Gray for his making of that goal? Did he take part in the celebrations?

Maybe it's just the camera angle and the footage taken, but he looks alone and forgotten. It's all about Vardy and Mahrez. Did anyone go to Gray? Or did he join in and we simply didn't see it?

Some did go over to Gray straightaway and the others congratulated him in the second phase of the celebration when he joined up with Vardy and Mahrez.

I've always struggled to take "fat" managers seriously, particularly in the NFL. It's a prejudice, one I'm aware of.

Something about expecting discipline but not showing it.

A ****ing terrible, regressive view, I know...but one I'm sure many pro's have.

Fat is the new black?

That reads wrong but my point is that weight seems to be becoming the unspoken reason for not hiring someone.
And I hold my hands up. I'd consider it a negative, especially for someone under 40.
New society...?

This is a stupid thing to say. I regret it instantly.

Might be. Or might be you admitting to a character flaw. Apparently it's now impossible to do that without getting "called out"

I always had the same thought regarding Sigi Schmid.

One more thing to note about Vardy's goal is the other player who made it forward into the box: Iborra.

If Steve Evans was your manager, how could you take him seriously?

I was thinking more Andy Reid.

Just wanted to add how impressed i was with Mahrez' application to his new role. Although he had less defensive responsibilities he was still willing to close down, and he was moving a lot off the ball to find space.

I think this role will work well for him and us.

pork pie fox · Oct 31, 2017

I've not particularly found Mahrez in a central role to be that effective, in the past, other than the odd game where he switched there late on in a game (Norwich at home 2 seasons ago springs to mind). Our group were discussing whether the inclusion of Gray out wide, who is obviously an attacking threat himself, helped to allow Mahrez a bit more space centrally, too. I'm not sure whether it was just Everton's poor shape, although they did have two holding midfielders, or if that was due to our setup.

I remain to be convinced. I'm afraid to say it (as it's been said of him throughout his career) but I think he's too much of a lightweight and doesn't put himself about enough. I feel he'd need to go in search of the ball more. The ball at his feet, out wide and cutting in, he's brilliant but I don't see his type of magic working as a no. 10

I want to be wrong though.

I think he's the best we've seen since Lineker.

Yet FourFourTwo don’t rate him as one of the 10 best strikers in the PL right now.

They do rate Rooney, Llorente and lacazette among others though. Yes, Rooney!

Quite....
