Due to mismanagement of the squad DCL & Davies have both played too much for us for the stage they are at. They were both thrown in at the deep end and asked to do a job and the promising thing is that it hasn't seemed to knock eithers confidence, despite the fact that they have understandably struggled at times. They both seem to have good character which bodes well for them making it.

Sunday was an example of better management of young players - sending them on with specific instructions that play to their strengths, allowing them to focus and execute. Doing this over time you can build up their skills and confidence, rather than risking their development by asking too much too soon.
That being said, I think both Davies and DCL have done well under difficult circumstances and both look improved this season under Silva - hopefully now with Gomes in midfield and the additions in attack they can both flourish with the pressure lifted.

Agreed. I think now we're starting to get closer to having a fully fit squad, you will see all of our younger players being utilised in the right way. And hopefully it will also result in a massive reduction in the abuse they get on this forum.
 
DCL has only scored 4 in all competitions mate.
4 in 9
Is still a vey VERY A ACCEPTABLE RETURN in the PL
which as you know is the point I was making
To say DCL is not goid enough for EPL basecon last years stats is th utter nonsense some of the posters here cling to in irfer to Diss a great young player eho serns to be getting into his stride
