'Everybody told me' - Andy Gray claims Conor Coady has proved point after Everton move

Andy Gray is delighted with the impact Conor Coady has made since joining Everton on loan and believes that doubts over playing in a different formation have already been addressed.

Ex-Liverpool prospect Coady joined the Blues on a season-long loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers, despite being captain of the Midlands club. Forging a central defensive partnership with fellow new signing James Tarkowski, Coady helped Frank Lampard's side to go on a run of six Premier League matches unbeaten, scoring once against Southampton, before eventually suffering a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Manchester United on Sunday.

As part of the joint-meanest defence in the Premier League season so far, former Goodison great Gray has been more than satisfied with Coady's contribution and his adaptability to play in a back-four.
