I know he scored but by god he is dismal, just take any money offered for him on January. I'm sure we can find a much better midfielder than him in the lower league's.
 

We have one of the best performers in midfield this season out and his back up is barely Championship level. Everton that and why we will do the square root of naff all again.
 
He technically is by not taking his game seriously at all. He costs us points all the time. He’s regressed every season he’s been here. If this was a government figure we’d want to vote them out for being incompetent. He’s half arseing it and taking money out the club each season for doing so.
It’s mad to think after 5yrs and 150 games deep, some fans still back him ( on This site) after probably 15 good games at best.

Them brothers who do a pod with the esk, one of them said he should watch alllan for 2years then take over, ffs he will be nearly 28. Then again one of them thinks Keane is our best defender.

one thing I’ve always wondered is why he hasn’t gone down the gym route like his mate DCL. Marginal gains and all that. Get fitter, stronger and more powerful. At least you maybe be able to compete on a physical level
 
Not sure how you worked that one out.

He is rubbish though..

It was a miss kick from him which led to the corner for their 2nd goal. A poor header which led to the counter-attack for their 3rd, bottled out of a 50/50 which led their 4th, and another miss kick on the edge of our penalty area which led to their 5th.

Whilst not all directly his fault he certainly had a hand in four of their goals.

That would take hard work, something very few at Everton seem to be interested in.

Seriously the difference between Davies the kid who broke through and the one playing now is absolutely night and day. Yes he was surrounded by better players in those teams but he was actually standing out, in the game he played under Unsworth when Martinez got fired he played so well, then even under Koeman he would come on and add energy and bite. Even at youth level we were 3 down in an under 23 derby and he came on and dragged us back to 3-3 and looked the best player on the price against the likes of Grujic.

The sad truth is that the Tom Davies of today wouldn’t get anywhere near the wondergoal he scored against City, I can’t think of any part of winning the ball, flicking inside Toure, finding Barkley, running into space, then lifting the finish, that he’d be able to execute successfully now, I wouldn’t back him to do a single one correctly.

It’s been a monumental decline for a player who external pundits had in their top 50 for golden boy across Europe. He was training with England at 17 and we all thought it was the first of many. We even said he was better than Barkley etc. Now I’d argue that John Lundstram is probably a more useful player than Davies and he was someone that Davies shot ahead of by the age of 17.

He’s massively massively regressed. I don’t know who you blame, but eventually he has to look at himself, not only has he not kicked on, he’s actually got worse, I do t think he’s even premier league standard any more. If Docuoure and Gomes were fit he wouldn’t be getting any game time under Benitez.

They said he’s the painter boy for modern Everton and it’s turning out to be the case, a nice lad who has just got worse and worse at football.
