Quite remarkable that you accuse me of "sensationalising" hahahaha lol

I’d say it’s more of a case if we play better in spite of Davies being on the pitch, e.g. Gueye and Schneiderlin aren’t the pairing.
Fat Sam was paid more than Silva, he must know more too, using that losing.

Yeah, and I’m giving MY opinion.
Do you always know what you’re talking about? Swaying away other’s opinions.
Yeah, scoring 11 goals in one season in La Liga is easy.
I'm not swaying it away, but you just come out with the same old tosh again and again. Your basis for not rating Davies is because of a load of middle-aged blokes whinging at him at the match? What are your actual reasons for hating a 20-yr-old Evertonian who has come in and done more than should be demanded of him and has been far from one of our worst performers in a crap team, only to get dogs abuse anyway?
Sandro showed loads of promise, i'm pretty sure it was more goals than that, in LaLiga.
But he in no way came close to replicating that form with us and looked totally incapable of settling into the Premier League. I wish it had gone differently, because we all thought there was a player there, but the lad's first touch took it 10 yards in front of him and he couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo and the fact that he's been shipped back to Spain last season and failed to score speaks volumes. It's a shame he got injured at Sociedad because it looked like Silva (an actual coach) had instilled some belief back into him.
Just like Silva will be working on improving the weak aspects of Davies' game.
I commend your effort, I've given up for today. There's only so much head shaking and face palming a man can do.

My basis for not rating Davies is because he misplaces a lot of his passes, he hits the ball full pelt at one of our players, attempting a pass, when they’re under pressure, he doesn’t score, he doesn’t assist, what is it he actually does well?
Also, I’m 25 years old, I don’t have many middle-aged friends, my mates of the same age feel the same as Silva, though, or are you trying to stereotype the Goodison fanbase as a bunch of middle-aged men bullying a 20 year old? I suppose that fits the agenda you, and a few others, are trying to push about the home fans.
Sandro was never given a consistent run of games.
The people who rate Davies always blame the fans for him not being as effective as he should, if he has a bad game or makes a bad pass, it's the fans fault. Yet, when he does something well, they go on about for games. Yeah he wasn't the best v (insert team name), but he played a great ball to Tosun v (another team) 4 games ago. It'll still be happening in a couple of seasons when he's putting in below average performances for us.
We looked much better when he went off against Leicester and that was because we were carrying him, again. The only thing he has on his side is youth, he has played over 50 games and hasn't progressed at all. The sooner we replace him, the better.

Hi mate, no one's done that, cheers for reading x
Your reasons there are valid, I think Davies has a tendency for overplaying when, if he kept things simple more often that'd be better.
But you act like he has no scope for improvement. He is 20! Five years younger than you, three than me, and yes, there are a load of middle-aged grumps and clearly a load of younger ones as well.
He brings energy, intensity and workrate to our midfield, something that is sorely lacking when Schneiderlin is in there. He always tries to pass forwards, always trying to get us on the front foot. Sometimes he needs to be more intelligent with that but improvement in those areas comes with age and correct coaching (something he has clearly not had at all under the last two managers).
It's not the end of the world because he isn't a superstar right now. Most players aren't even playing regularly at his age. He needs to improve but has plenty of time to do so.

I didn’t say he had no scope for improvement, I said we can’t afford to be the team he learns his trade on, giving our need to catch up to the teams above us.
He needs loaning to the Championship and/or a lower placed Premier League team.

Imagine thinking the crowd isn’t made up of a load of cringey moaning farts who boo when the opposition hit the bar and under-30 social media edgelords who spew venom at a select group of players as a display of masculinity. Imagine swatting away that objectively provable opinion.
Why can't we be?
We can play young players and improve - that's part of building a proper squad.
As the players improve, the team improves, if you've got the right coach. And while I know you have doubts over Silva and in fairness I do too, I don't think there's any doubting his ability as a coach in terms of improving players. Look at Richarlison, bloody hell look what he did with Cleverley at Watford, or Robertson and Maguire in his short time at Hull.
I didn't even go back that far to find these. You're welcome though.
