2019/20 Tom Davies

I have less issue with him today compared to Siggurdsson and Schneiderfraud, but when fit, Delph and Gomes are both miles better.

No idea how the Gbamin fella will turn out.
Gomes best is better but unfortunately we see less than that far more often. Delph is far too cautious currently. Maybe that changes with a new manager but right now Davies should play over him.

Not a chance for me.

Delph takes responsibility on the ball. People expect him to be pinging passes like Xavi. He is a holding player, put him next to a decent player like Gomes (when hes in form) and it's a good partnership.As @mightymoyes says though, Fitness is awful.

Davies, Siggurdson and Schneiderlin as a middle three is almost criminal.

Delphs passing in terms of progressing the ball is not much better than Schneiderlin. He doesn't win the ball back much. I'm not sure what he really does. I'd rather have Davies playing but obviously with injuries what they are they should be the two playing together.

I'm tired of the when Gomes is in form thing because that is never. He plays great against West Ham and then is bad the next two weeks. That's pretty much his whole time here.
 

Like with Holgate, I'm not gonna say hes crap based on 1 performance when hes had about 3 in a row where hes been brilliant.

Everyone has bad games. Especially when it seems theres no game plan.
 
Nobody doubts his effort or commitment, he's just not a good footballer.
He’s Jay Spearing. He’s a bogstandard, lower league footballer (possibly as high as Championship, but time will tell which league he ends up in) who got a gig at a Premier League club as he’s a youth product. The club would never actually sign him.
I have never rated Davies and you can check back at my previous posts to confirm this. Nothing will change my mind, he is not a premiership player and never will be.

However, he did have a couple of good games but it made me laugh that all his "He's one of our own" blue blinkered fanboys exploded on to this forum thinking that Tom has finally arrived...
Pretty much it. Much more slack is given to a youth product (both by the fans, and by the manager in being given a chance in the first team).

He’s not Premier League level, and I’m not sure he’s Championship level either. As I say time will tell what his true level is.

Holgate is another who doesn’t belong at this level. Keane is terrible, but he can do a job for a team that sits really deep (as he showed with Burnley), Holgate couldn’t do a job for anybody. He’d be a regular in a relegation outfit. He did not look good on loan either. He’s another who has got a gig as the previous incumbent is bobbins.

You've proven my point, cheers lid.

Delph takes responsibility on the ball from the back and doesn't panic on it. He isnt going to open defences that is why he should be paired with someone more inventive. Who that is? None of this lot that's for sure.

*sighs* We're so bad.
