Can you show me a post of mine where i havent backed Tom Davies please?
*Clue: There isnt one.
Dunno what youre on about tbh.
Davies should have been playing ahead of Barry for ages now.
Holgate was dropped for no reason twice.
DCL is a weird one...come on as a sub and doesnt do much yet is ahead or Deulofeu, Lennon, Mirallas and Valencia it seems...
Davies should now keep his place...he has a chance as Gueye is off. History with holgate shows us he would be dropped if Gueye was available.
At this point in time, there's nothing wrong with Davies coming on as a sub at say the 60 minute mark for Barry
Seeing as we're short of options at the moment with Gana away, then I'd be fine with Davies starting, but that's not essential for him, nor is it for DCL or Holgate
What's essential is that they get minutes and are part of the senior set up. If those minutes come off the bench, then great
Koeman is giving these kids minutes and has done all season
Yeah, he stuck with Clev a bit longer than he should have done, but nobodies perfect and nobody is claiming Koeman is
Koeman deserves credit at this current juncture for the chances he's given to the younger players. If he starts going in the other direction, believe me you'll hear about it from myself, but as of right now that hasn't happened
Be happy the kids are getting the minutes they're getting, as it's more than they'd get at other top clubs, and also be happy that he persists with a DCL even when DCL doesn't always deliver. Moyes would have dropped DCL and labelled him with dreaded "attitude problems" by this stage, but Koeman is still giving him chances
The fact is it's easier for a DCL to dislodge Valencia or a Davies to dislodge a Barry/Clev than it is for a Holgate to dislodge a Coleman or Funes Mori
By laying into Koeman for doing WHAT WE'VE ASKED HIM TO DO you in turn aren't backing the youth
