Box to box and creative on form. He's off form in an off form sub standard team. Remember he's a kid he has loads of potential

He is not box to box mate, he is way too slow, and creative is up for debate, his through balls are fee and far between.

The fact is we let him get away with murder cos he is a blue.

Unfortunately he won't be good enough for the future of Everton...

Looks like he’s on verge of falling over every time he has the ball.

I actually thought he played well against United.

He’ll never be an effective midfielder. Too slow on the ball too slow off the ball. Not tenacious enough in the tackle or when defending generally, limited passing ability.

YESSS THIS!

What does he offer? What are his strengths? I don't know what type of player he is supposed to be. He isn't creative, he doesn't track his man, he isn't a ball winner, he has no pace, but once again, he is a blue and gets us though. Sick of the local lads getting away with murder when other jokers like Keane bear all the brunt. He has been horrendous all season.

Yes mate yes I couldn't agree more

One of our most out of form players, can barely control the ball when he gets it. Gives it away if he does manage to get the thing under control. Sadly he is just too slow for the top level game. Pogba and Matic v him and Schneiderlin were like men v boys.

The lad is class and struggling to show it in a poor side. I will vault you all

Not got the physical attributes to make it. Too small, too weak, too slow.

still think he's a boss little player, out of form though

oh and he badly needs to whack that gym because he spends far to much time on his arse

He's not even 20 yet.

Currently he is struggling, and I don't think he will go on to be a world beater but will probably be a decent top flight player.

Realistically he should be able to step out when struggling or even be out on loan right now but because none of the senior pros have stepped up or we don't have better options this is what we are left with.

I think there's a very good player in Davies (not top class) as he's previously shown on the pitch, but he's currently incredibly out of form.

Unfortunately, the typical polar-methodology of many in our fan base results in quick cries of "he won't make it" and highlighting his deficiencies.

I'm not saying he is exempt from criticism, yet it is unrealistic and naive to expect a young lad to expect him to consistently thrive at his age.

There are older, seasoned professionals on the pitch, who are also playing poorly, who deserve much more of your criticism than Tom does.

What he needs, as mentioned previously, is time out of the starting XI and from the limelight when he can rebuild his form and confidence.

However, due to our squad lacking any real impetus in the middle then he's being shoe-horned into the side which is only adding to his problems.
