just to be contrary it could be that Davies was so good last season when he finally cam in, because Koeman held him back a little bit?
The dutch generally blood youth, you only have to look at Ajax, PSV, Feyenoord, it's in the DNA.
I too would have him in the team now too, but whose to say Koeman doesn't have similar plans this year for Kenny?
Putting a young lad in a team that has yet to gel, might not be the best long term move.

Davies should be one of the first names on the teamsheet in the middle along with either one of Gana or Schneiderlin.
He adds something different, the intensity seems to rise. He was integral to our fantastic form after xmas
He just seems to have everything, defensively sound, great engine on him, boss going forward, can pick a pass out.
Whilst Gana and Schneiderlin are boss at what they do, they just don't have the all round game of Davies.

i know this isnt his thread but really think he will be in the england world cup squad next summer partly because englands midfield options are so crap but mainly cos he'll deserve it.

Its not really seeing as he knows him already. The manager obviously sees something in him.
Whilst I am here seen a few saying that they cant believe that Calvert Lewin started ahead of Kenny. Can we knock this on the head? Anyone who watched the game will know that he was not playing right back/right wing back or anything like that. It was an unbalanced formation and Gueye was playing there more than anybody.
It actually looked like at one point that some of the players didn't know where they were meant to be playing, they looked all over the gaff. It was a case of the old ' square pegs in round holes' crap.

Added to what it does to the morale of the entire Under 23's and younger lads as well, basically seeing the best of the crop not even being given a shot despite doing absolutely everything he could in Under 23's and with the International junior sides.
Seeing the rs start that Trent Alexander lad - whose only 19 - and not even a natural right back, Spurs doing the same with that Walker Peters - whose similar age, meanwhile Kenny cant get a look in even on the bench - and we start a striker at wingback and then bring on a absolutely bog average right back second half.
Given we actually look REALLY pedestrian and one paced - i'd have thought the injection of the likes of Kenny, Lookman and such would actually give us a bit more energy

Which you could argue makes the entire situation even worse, the manager due to not trusting any right back we have decided to do an utter shambles of a formation to shoe horn in a certain player - and to avoid playing others?
That's the thing mate, we look piss poor down our right, as you say, imagine the pace and energy of Kenny and Lookman both down the right.
Problem is mate, Kenny is not even making the bench.

Indeed.
Maybe he just thinks Kenny is not quite ready yet?
I cant say I agree with him but he probably knows more than me seeing as he sees him every day.

That could just be as simple as if Holgate doesn't start, it's more efficient to have him on the bench as he can cover CB/RB, Kenny is only RB.
I reckon if we get a favourable home draw in the League cup (i.e. League 1/2 team), or have a dead rubber at the end of Europa Group phase, Kenny will get a go.

Some managers just don't fancy certain players as well mate and choose ones that are clearly inferior.
He won't be the first or last manager to make strange decisions
Still for the life of me have never understood managers - and most do it, who insist on playing players out of position when they suck at it
