2022/23 Tom Davies

[MACCA75]

Over 100 top flight games by the age of 24. I'd say that's a pretty good career for any footballer, wouldn't you?

You could argue he's not played well in most of them, but to say he's failed as a footballer is kind of funny really.

We’ve failed as a club by giving him so many.

Quite right. Although I'd consider him an awful football... what I wouldn't give to be that "bad" having likely several million in the bank and knowing you'll easily continue your career as a professional for many years yet. Shows the power of having good connections.

Completely missed the point of the post...onana gueye and iwobi have been awful the last 4/5games....we find ourselves in exactly the same position we did last season...why did Tom get slaughtered and these players don't...sadly I think it's something to do with coming from the academy getting built up way beyond what he should have been and then not hitting levels he never had.
And yes I would genuinely like to see rotation when something isn't working.

Iwobi has been good since frank took over,
Not great on Boxing Day, but he has 5 assists and is one the top creators in the league.
Has Davies got 5 assists in his whole Everton career?
Gana, maybe past his best and he’s only a stop gap signing, but he’s still better than Davies at what he offers.

And I’ve explained the Onana situation. Onana Hasn’t been great recently and if he’s still performing like that in 5yrs and after 150 games, then I’m sure he will also be getting destroyed on here and twitter.

Because Tom had had more chances as an academy player, than any other in our history. He’s had 6 yrs and 150 games and is poor at everything.

Should be starting games

It can't just be a coincidence that out of the 8 appearances he has made this season we have only lost twice can it? Seems like forever ago people were rightfully praising him for bossing the derby.

Going to miss the dynamism and goals, when he goes this month.

 

[hktoffee]

Very true. Gana in particular has been one of the worst signings in a very long time.

He costed £2m not £20m.

 

[JimmyToffee]

Decent squad player, nothing more. Useful to have around. Reason he has got so much stick is cause he’s played so much given the sick note midfielders in the squad over the years

 

[Bluestar]

I could see him joining JJK in Germany if we stop up but if we go down I can see him signing a new contract and playing in the championship

That’s a possibility. He is Championship level really.

 

[Del-boy]

One of the reasons we are where we are. Keeping bang average players around the club.

Sure up the team. Led the press. Helped us keep shape. The streak of more points when he plays continues.

Good luck to Tom as a "businessman" because he's utterly failed as a footballer.

Tom Davies: I saw Marcus Rashford and thought – what can I be doing?

‘I’m a businessman now, you know.” Tom Davies delivers the sentence deadpan before quickly dissolving into a fit of giggles at the notion the tycoon in him has

If you class failing as spending all your career so far at a Premier League club then he aint failing too bad is he

Nice cameo from Tom

Yes. Not flashy but where he needed to be and not easy to play through which for our midfield is saying something and for 11’ of stoppage time away to City is saying a lot.

It's a thankless task that requires a lot of discipline. Set up a good chance with Gray linking up as well.
