2018/19 Tom Davies

[The Reverand]

he was awful in his last game but I would play him ahead of schneiderlin,, you cant fault the lads effort.

I’d try - doesn’t mean I should be playing!

 

[Barnfred 55]

No, I just don't rate him at all. This isn't like the mad shouts of people not rating Stones and Lukaku, this is people defending the indefensible because he's "young".

I know you don't rate him mate.

Just thought it was quite funny that you must have sought out the thread on page 3/4 of the forum, then go back 20 pages on the thread to find a suitable post to respond to.

Suspensions and injuries

Very lucky boy isn’t he.

Dropped at the first opportunity.

Make of that what you will.

Was on the front page today, so not really.

We actually missed him today. I know he can be sloppy but he's the one with the legs and at least tries to drive forward and pass forward in our midfield. Without him we look slow. Sure he has faults and many areas he needs to improve but Gana and Snides is a static and poor midfield in terms of possession.

Should start every game until we sign someone better. Gueye and Schneiderlein simply does not work and is the worst pairing in the league. Two championship players with no discernible skills who both lack the guts to try and do the right things in possession.

Should not start any games because he has managed to be even worse than both of them.

Gueye and Schneiderlein doesn't work. Davies adds balance. I'm not saying he's the long term answer cause he's not. But he's far preferable to the axis of doom who have let down 3 managers now, and are onto their 4th.

Morgan should have been sold in the summer and replaced. Doesn’t want to be here and isn’t of the quality

Gueye for me is useless unless played as a DM with 2 other mids in front of him

Doesn’t work as a two midfield

But he doesn't

But he doesn't

Agreed. The only balance Davies has ever offered was when he played in a midfield 3 with Schneiderlin and Gueye. He has been really poor whenever he has played with either of them in a midfield 2.

Bottom line is I don't think any of our centre midfielders are good enough. Hopefully Gomes is the answer.

 

[Cels]

Some of us go the match too cheers

Yes, like I said... we make mistakes

 

[Charro]

But he doesn't

He does.

He's the only midfielder who can transition from midfield to attack, take up good positions and link up the play.

Gana and Morgan cant do that, and Sigurdsson has no ability to find space.

Havent lost a game with Davies on the pitch this season, he was an integral part to our only win, and when he's dropped we produce a stinker at home to West Ham.

You may not rate him as a player, but it's there for all to see that he does add a balance to the midfield.
