Gray hasn't featured on Sky Sports since 2011.

"I think we've gone too far from just analysing the game to analysing everything about the game," he told The Set Pieces.

"When we started [at Sky], we analysed goals and incidents and I do notice now a lot of the guys back in the UK start analysing tackles and challenges and refereeing decisions.

"I would turn it back a bit and concentrate on analysing football. We're now analysing everything to the Nth degree. Everything has a fault.

"I think they don't accentuate the positives often enough and I think we've lost track of doing that, which is what we tried to do at the start.

"Whether someone should have been sent off, whether it was a bad challenge; we left that kind of stuff to other people and concentrated on what actually happened in the game: how the teams went about it, what was that goal like, how did it come about? Was it great play? Was it a mistake?

"It's become over-analytical. They talk about 4-2-3-1, 5-2-3-1, 5-4-6-1. I've no idea what formations we've got now. People just make numbers up now and add them up to make 11."
