2019/20 Tom Davies

[Lelouch]

praise the sk8er boy

 

[Abraders]

Boss today la

 

[Cookmysock]

Did well today hopefully finds a bit of form and keeps Schneiderlin out

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Like a breath of fresh air today. Plenty of energy and moved the ball forward with every touch. Well in lad.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Very quick and decisive today. He has the passing range and he makes nice one touches. We just need to see it consistent from him. He has had plenty of games where his passes go wayward. Hopefully having options around him is the answer.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

His energy and first time passes were crucial to us playing quickly at times, a great game from Tom... should've scored though

Good game gave us the energy in midfield we have been missing

This is exactly what has been missing, apart from the miss...

I don't think Davies should be a shoe in to start in midfield by any stretch but the midfielders we have who are 'responsible' with the ball spend nearly all of their time going sideways and slowing our attacking play down - even more infuriating when you've got players like Richarlison, Kean, Iwobi who want to run at their opponents.

Davies is at least direct, yes he'll give the ball away more than Delph or Schneiderlin, but it's not like we've just dropped a few points with those guys in midfield and had a stumble here and there. We've lost four on the bounce and gone from being a win against Bournemouth away from being third to third bottom.

It's a risk to drop Davies in alongside Gomes/ Schneiderlin today but playing safe has got us nowhere these last few weeks. Dread to think what reaction Silva will get at the end of the game if he plays Gomes, Schneiderlin and Sigurdsson and we lose.

Honestly, he played him right today. He just pushed everyone up and pressed the hell out of those clown. Granted, West Ham has a terrible defense and central midfield, but man, Marco made the right decision. Davies played great, his initiative was something we have been lacking. Marco really went for it today, the team responded, and were unlucky not to score more.

He was excellent

 

[cronullasharks]

I'm not a fan of Davies but that was a good performance. Hopefully keeps it going

 

[stretford blue]

A really good performance always looking to pass forward hopefully he can kick on from here

 

[MikeH72]

Absolute night and day compared to Schneiderlin. Must keep his place.

 

[Papa Shango]

Regardless of it being Davies or anyone else we need a player like him in the middle especially for home games. Loads of energy and always looking to push forward.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Pleased for him. Deserves to keep his place. Between him and Delph for partnering gomes for now once Delph is fit again.

 

[AndyZ]

I really hope Tom keeps his place in the side. He offers something different from the rest of our center mids and he young enough that he will continue to grow and improve.

 

[Archie Knox]

He was fine, but outrageous to miss that open goal. Even Hibbert would have knocked that in.
