It's a bit odd thats for sure. Easy targets I suppose. Especially Davies, used to be a time when locals loved the local lads getting a game, not anymore, people seem to want to hound youngsters out of the club if they aren't on 16year old Rooneys level by the time they hit 20.

The club does seem to have more than it's reasonable share of knobheads.
 
This crushing denunciation of the lad is pretty uncalled for if I'm being honest.

He's put a shift in this season under, quite frankly, unforgivable circumstances and for the first time in ages that he's handed a start he's told to play wide left where every man and his dog knows that isn't where he should be playing full stop.

Give him a break.
 

where we have played him this season hasn't helped the lad at all
play him up front with someone to get the best of out him...
I think he will be out on loan next season like Dowell - would score goals at that level
in all honesty - at the mo doesn't matter who we have up front we cant keep the ball in the final third
 
Calvert Lewin is a Graeme Sharp in the making: clever, deceptively strong and aggressive, an eye for a goal and a quality finisher.

Just look at the way he scored the winner in the World Cup final if you need any supporting evidence. This young player is a class act and needs to play to his strengths - not left, abandoned and without portfolio trying his best to make Martina look less than a total inadequate in no man's land.

Don't forget that little over a year ago, he was a Sheffield United reserve. Then for half this season, he was unceremoniously thrust into the deep end to fill Lukaku's shoes and expected to lead the line for a £200m team that couldn't muster the collective wherewithal to give him the ball.

He will do well to not be totally ruined by Allardyce and Koeman, who for some inexplicable, weird, unfathomable, stupid reason, consistently hang him out to die on the left wing. It's almost as baffling as believing Rooney has been reincarnated as some cerebral midfield genius.

It's a tragedy that this young lad's career could be ruined by mismanagement and he will probably be allowed to eventually leave, along with Lookman, Vlasic, Dowell and several others who have been marginalised and set on the road to ruin by the imbeciles who run our club and team.

Meanwhile, we're talking about bringing 31-year-old Vardy in apparently, to give the average age another significant hike upwards and continue our reputation as the (so-called) Premier League home for aged has-beens in need of a career-ending pay-off.

So you're saying he needs to leave?
 
He’d look alright if he was playing upfront in a team that creates chances. Out wide in this Everton side? God help anyone. Messi would probably look useless there.

Deceptively strong. Certainly has decieved me.
The goal in the World Cup final was no great finish either.
 
The lack of good signings and injuries have exposed young players to too much first team football at their stage of development. The complete collapse of quality in the first team has led many fans usually on social media to exaggerate the qualities of youngsters like Davies, Calvert-Lewin and several others, in an attempt to find a rainbow somewhere. Praise was loaded on Unsie for apparently producing a conveyor belt of promising British youngsters. I don't know if any of these will eventually make good standard PL players, only time will tell. Certainly none of them are at present. In the case of Calvert Lewin, it doesn't matter where you play him, he is not a natural goal scorer. I do not know how you would classify him, except presently out of his depth in a team of struggling seniors players.
