So if he's playing cm and he's pushed deeper then he's playing as a defensive midfielder, isn't he? Where he was mainly used as legs for Rooney. Which pretty much choked and creativity out of the lad.

I said he was playing as a right midfielder still classed as the midfield 3 but more pushed out to the right to link up with Kenny. You might not remember it but I do. Guess we'll have to agree to disagree or maybe I'm just explaining it well. He wasn't played as a proper cm is my point.

No, deep doesn't mean defensive, unless you'd class Pirlo and Makelele as the same sort of player? You can't really class playing in a midfield 3 as being pushed out wide and say that playing deep isn't fair and say that he's not an attacking midfielder. You're basically saying he's got to play a very very specific role in the team there.

Mate, Bolasie gets absolute dogs, the whole ground jeered him off in the derby. One fella by you might have it in for Davies, but we all have people like that dotted about. One fella sat near me despised Lukaku and shouted abuse constantly. He was on his own like, so it gets drowned out.

Obviously there are different ways of play the dm type of role but you've just quoted two of the best players to of played the game. We're talking about a then 19 year old lad who was being used to facilitate Rooney not having any legs. How did he facilitate this? By winning the ball back and passing it to rooney to allow him to pick a pass, then occupying the opposition midfielders in order to stop Rooney from being closed down as fast. What is not defensive about that?

He may of played as right of the midfield 3 but he spent a lot of time pushed out to help Kenny. Hence why I said he was punched out on the right.

I'm not saying he can only play a very specific role. I just think that as a young developing talent that he should be played in his proper position and allowed to develop before he get shoe horned into another position.

Not at all. Just don't particularly rate Davies, which isn't a crime as a supporter. There will have been people on Liverpool forums making the exact same arguments you are in favour of Jay Spearing a few years ago.

It's a big year for Davies. A repeat of last year's performances and it's difficult to make an argument for him being part of the squad going forward. Right now, age is the main thing he has on his side because his other attributes don't stand out.

Jay Spearing was allowed to remain across the park until 23. Davies is just 20. Spearing wasn't really playing by then.
 
There are always a few clowns who like to write that we are the worst fans in their experience, who love to deride our own players, boo more than anyone else, and pick on young players to bring them down. I wonder if they view the wider world in the same way? Sad really to show so little perspective. Can't remember whi one nut was who recently said he has been in every PL crowd there is, and Evertonians are the worst etc etc etc. Probably doesn't go to the games anyway and relies on the TV to form his opinions.
 
Big season for tom. Needs proper coaching in how to hold a position and pass the ball properly. Otherwise i see him being shipped out
 
If a first team box to box CM is signed before Thurs, the fashion king should go out on loan to a PL side to gain much needed experience.
