You'd think he was a young player still developing or something...

A neat and tidy player who will do well for a Premier League side. Quite similar imo.
In terms of stand out attributes that'd turn him into a top player I don't think he's quite there.

Hardly means he's exempt from criticism does it?
Didn't say he was
No Zat.
He has not acheived the consistency to play in ANY position yet.
Had a big impact coming on last week as did Vlasic (similar age ) last night ,he is a good way off being a 1st team mainstay yet.Tom is a fantastic young prospect lets not ruin him eh.

Ah come on, at least have some courage in your convictions.
That he may be, but he was very very bad yesterday and people are discussing it in the Tom Davies thread.
Ageed...but he is a far better player than Noble ....even now.

V poor last night. As were many others
Just making sure there is some perspective here frandel
We're very quick to get stuck in to the young lads around these parts, just wanted to plant a seed in everyone's minds in hopes that the dogs aren't fully unleashed upon the lad after a so-so performance. Because that's all it was. The badness of it is being exaggerated. Not his best game but there were still things he did well

IMO yesterday he was the only one of the midfield who was trying to get the ball forward, he was terrible when he was played on the left - but yeah he isn't a bloody left sided player so that was naturally gonna happen. Thought he actually had an ok game considering what was happening around with Sandro and Rooney being absolutely clueless
For our second goal thought he was the one who quickened us up and got it forward with a great ball to Rooney, replaced by Klassen who was god awful terrible
Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to pretend he was Pele or anything last night but, as you have pointed out, there were certainly things he did well
Ultimately, young players like Tom have to be graded on a scale IMO. Some may find that unfair, but I think it's necessary
Vets like Williams are on a different scale, because there's a certain level of competency that they should be displaying every time they go out there, because they've been doing this for years. Only fair if you ask me
Davies, because he isn't the fully formed player yet, shouldn't be graded on that scale, because he isn't a beneficiary of all those years of experience
Just my opinion of course, but I feel it's valid and I also believe it bares repeating when a young lad doesn't have an amazing game
One summer is not made by a swallow, and one career is not made by one so-so performance on the pitch
I'm just providing a counterpoint to the norm in order that we don't go OTT in sticking the boot in on young Tom
The best thing for him is to get right back on the horse this Sunday IMO. Sooner he goes out and has his usual good performance the better
Said my piece now, so I'll be offski methinks
He's playing brilliantly in my Augsburg career mode so don't know what you lot are complaining about.
