2017/18 Tom Davies

[toffeejack]

Many would not like like this but think he has gone backwards this season. Don't deserve to start for the time being.

thought he started the season well, which was very impressive given the players who had come in in his position, but yeah, have to agree. However, he's not ready to be in a middle two which is what he's been asked to do and gueye and snides have been a lot worse.

You cant have Gana and Beni, remarkably similar play styles. At least with Davies he is more willing to push on, but even then I don't rate him that much.

 

[nsno-chris]

He’s only missing a bit of composure. He wears his heart on his sleeve and you can see that on the pitch

 

[arch stanton]

i wish he'd stay on his feet more, he goes down very easily.

 

[Abraders]

Thought he was poor tonight tbf

 

[bluestevon]

Keeps going and never lets his head drop, even when having a poor game like today, at his age he will go on to be a very good player for us for years, most forward thinking of any of our central players as well which we need.

 

[Manx Blue]

Unbelievable energy on this lad.

Will improve game on game given minutes.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Starting to remind me of his Uncle, started off looking an absolute world beater but sadly faded to be rather ordinary.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

I don't think he has had a good season so far.

There, I said it.

In fact, I think he's been very fortunate to retain his place and one of few to have benefit from the factors around him.

Klaassen must be thinking he's unfortunate not to come in for him.

How many players have had a good season for us though?

Think he's showing glimpses of his qualities in games but hasn't been consistent so far

Davies is fine in a three-man midfield.

He's not playing well though.

Him and Gana can't play together in a two. Neither are good enough in possession.

In a two, it has to be Schneiderlin and one of them IMO. Schneiderlin has been tosh as well, but he can get hold of the ball and put a foot on it.

I'd actually like to see Schneiderlin/Gueye-Davies-Sigurdsson as our 3 man midfield for the time being.

Klaassen as a rotation option.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

How many players have had a good season for us though?

Indeed. Lets apply that logic consistently throughout then.

So in the Klaassen thread;

He is our Dutch Naismith, but without the goals.

Davies must be furious that these jokers are getting picked before him.

Davies, Barkley and Dowell.

Thats a midfield to pick you moonheaded beaut.

Davies should be in before him currently.

His performances have not been great but he will need time to adjust.

Maybe "How many players have had a good season for us though?" would have been equally as apt there.

Davies gets extra patience because he's an academy lad and our hopes (Unless you believe the Ross Barkley scapegoat stuff...) but call a spade a spade. He's been poor and players on the bench must be wondering...

I stand by all of them comments, Klassen needs time.

We need some consistency in our lineups for the next few games, not the chopping and changing of the past few months.
