2021/22 Tom Davies

[samcdavies94]

Come off it. The lad is just so far off what's needed it's not funny. There was a little bit of hope that he'd come good, but that ended over two years ago. Quality wise he's probably good enough for League One or Two, but very obviously not this division.

It's not that I disagree, I just don't know what good it does the lad to not get behind him. The club gave him the contract, the manage subbed him on today, he didn't make those decisions. If he's not good enough and never will be, that's not really his fault. All he can do is try his best, which he does every game. It's a failing of the club that he still plays a part, not the player.

Btw... if he shoots and misses, we'd all be saying he should have squared it.

No, I'd be saying 'how did he miss that?'

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

I think he should have backed himself and went for the far corner as de Gea is weak on that side he barely moved for the equaliser

 

[windymiller]

I think people are being a bit harsh, he was a size 12 boot away from that being absolutely the right decision. Took the keeper totally out of it.

 

[lancs blue]

Needed to close his eyes and believe. If he'd scored his value would have increased. Could have flogged him to qatar this week

 

[Mark Bisson]

When your a young kid in bed dreaming of moments like this happening in your life. Perfectly setup to become a hero and win the match like Roy of the Rovers at Old Trafford in front of 60 thousand.

Instead, you bottle it and pass to an offside central defender. ?‍

Whatever confidence the lads once had when he burst onto the scene has long gone now.

…it’s character as much as confidence, after missing the penalty at QPR some would relish the chance to put things right. They might not be confident of scoring but they’d know the situation they were in.

As soon as he passed it I said “wtf are you doing”, I’m sure I wasn’t alone in knowing Mina was offside. Davies passed the buck, I’d want him to show character in that situation even if he missed.

I would have been more shocked if he had taken a shot eggs

You watch the training vids/drills and there was one a couple of weeks ago where he was with Godfrey. My 8 year old daughter packs more power into headers than he did!

It would have never entered his mind today that he had a chance to shoot/score. Thats just not in his make up unfortunately

 

[tommytowne]

Just seen the big chance. I've seen previous posts saying he should shoot as soon as he got the ball. I'm not so sure on that it was quite a bit out. It was a decent pass into the space where I think DCL or Richarlison would have stayed onside and netted it.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Wish he smashed it instead of laying it off to Mina. But positivity was there.

 

[lancs blue]

Can't say he's a young kid anymore. Lived in the shadows too much. He got into the position great but his timing to pass should have been better. Hes one of those you bring on when four nil up. A shame Gordon had to go off. At least Longstaff has a decent shot on him

 

[Johnnytotal]

I can't knock him for squaring it personally.

 

[andy4efc]

Combination of him and Mina to blame for the goal. M

Mina shouldn't be offside.
Davies should be able to recognise he's offside.

Good result today regardless.

 

[tommye]

Why he couldn't do that today with a much better angle ?

Confidence.

Or the lack of it.
