Tom Davies

[onlyme]

I don't understand why it's absolutely vital this lad gets a game. He's looked ok when he's been on the pitch but no more than that

I think it's a reflection on the alternatives eg Cleverly, it's obvious that apart from Gana we lack energy in the midfield and Barry is visibly slowing down by the week.

If it's energy that's required McCarthy has done more to deserve that berth no?

 

[SerenityNigh]

Ease him in Jonesy.

Like a delicate lover applying lube.

If he's good enough, he's old enough

 

[Boss_Blue]

If he's good enough, he's old enough

If there's grass on the pitch...

Hang on what are we talking about again?

The real question is whether the kid can be great with low socks in modern football

If he's good enough, he's old enough

I'm not sure I buy into that philosophy

No. He's part of the deadwood that needs sold.

 

[SerenityNigh]

I'm not sure I buy into that philosophy

Not sure I do either, to be honest

 

[SerenityNigh]

But age isn't helping certain midfielders I'm hoping are sold imminently, so there must be something else

 

[Bluser]

No. He's part of the deadwood that needs sold.

So what is it you actually want from a midfielder?

 

[Neiziro]

So what is it you actually want from a midfielder?

Mainly technical ability, creativity, energy and a willingness to fight for the shirt.

McCarthy, Cleverley and co. have none of those things. Davies does which is why he should be in the side.

 

[mightymoyes]

So what is it you actually want from a midfielder?

someone who can pass forward, create chances, tackle, run, score the odd goal. everything mccarthy and cleverley arent basically. well maybe they can run a bit.

 

[billyblue80]

Mccarthy wants to leave and doesn't even put a shift in anymore.Davies has work rate, vision and potential. He is worth a run!

 

[ijjysmith]

He is only 18

 

[Jreverton1]

Should be starting...as the old saying goes if you're good enough
