That must have been a different debut ti the one I was at.....where he came on and his first touch was to “assist” a Chelsea goal
Now Tony Cottee.....that’s what I call a debut

Thought he did well. Ok gave a few balls away but looked to play positively and had a physical presence. Promising in my view.
Says more about what Silva thinks of Davies.

Perhaps but a poor decision nevertheless - clearly not ready Andy no doubt confidence affected.

But what's the point if the great big caveat to that is that the lad - to his admission and yours - wasn't ready to play. We all saw it. We can choose to be rational and supportive or we can choose not to be. At this stage, I see no benefit in choosing the latter.

Looked ok to me. Will prove a better passer and link player than gana. Just needs time and patience. Let’s see how him and Davies get on together. We could be surprised.

Yes your right - perhaps 2/3 weeks in full training and getting used to his new environment is a sensible option not to just throw him to the lions.

Poor debut but should never have been playing in those conditions really. A combination of bad luck (injuries and a red card) mixed with a questionable decision from Silva (surely Davies should have been on first, given his comparative experience and match fitness) gave him a premature debut, unfortunately.
For Christ's sake though, anyone writing him off, give your head a wobble. He's 23, not match fit, coming from a completely different league, was thrown in with a makeshift midfield and then had his midfield partner sent off as we went down to 10.

Didn’t watch the game so can’t really comment but I personally think Schneiderlin red might be a blessing in disguise if it means this lad starts vs Watford. Get him in, get the Goodison faithful behind him and watch him turn into prime Yaya Toure
Because he’s a crap manager

He definitely made some mistakes holding on to the ball and got bypassed a couple times in midfield. He didn't play well, no question. But his passing wasn't that terrible.
It really looked like he hung on to the ball too long partially because he wanted so badly to make a positive play forward. Its hard to tell on TV how we were set up in front of him. At times our shape is just crap and we have zero passing depth.
But this isn't Mainz. We don't need him to create as much. We have other players. He'll figure it out.

I think Silva wanted him and Morgan to be more similar based on how advanced Schneiderlin was also playing when he came on, but they were really in sync and got out of shape.
