Why we’ve decided to throw him out wide recently I’ll never know

There was no need to play him wide today. Ancelotti should know that (Jesus Christ, WE all know that).
Bernard and Davies could hardly be more different.
Bringing Davies in completely changed how we set up. Just put Walcott there and at least have that pace as an outlet and natural width.
Tom needs to sharpen up. The ball passes him by so often without any real anticipation from him and he ends up committing unnecessary fouls as he is too slow in his own tackling trying to retrieve the ball. Dont know how this is conquered though theres enough sports science boffins at Finch Farm to at least monitor it and maybe do sonething about it.

He tried harder than either of those 2 cart horses.
I would like to see Davies in a midfield of top class players. He is still only young.
Had no chance today.
Can do a job there for literally five minutes when we're holding on and just need someone to come in and break up play. That's it.
Frankly, I'm a bit worried we have a world class manager who didn't realise that, and the only conclusion I can draw from it is that we've already Evertoned Carlo in two games.
If we had a midfield of top class players he wouldn't get in it. That's the point.

Is it not down to lack of options? He´s literally the only centre mid functioning at the moment isn´t he apart from Delph?

Just constantly gives the ball away or puts other players in trouble with his awful passes

He would improve though. He has got talent but it is still very, very raw.
He hasn't progressed sadly. If Carlo cannot help him then I doubt anyone will.

Don't think anybody should be overly harsh but it's fair to point out a few of his flaws. I like the lad and I hope he has a very good career with us but he's got acceleration problems and it's badly effecting his overall game. I do feel for him being in a midfield that rarely controls a game properly and I like that he always tries to be positive when on the ball but he's got to sort his positioning out when we lose the ball.

Since when is an enthusiastic trier good enough for us? He lacks so many qualities required of a midfielder it is hard to know where to start. Mind you he is far from being our only substandard player. The manager has a massive job on starting after Liverpool thrash us on Saturday.
Why does everyone say he tries hard when he literally walks around the pitch? Let’s people run past him all the time.
