2019/20 Tom Davies

[JimmyJeffers]

Of our current fit centre midfielders, he’s first choice in my opinion.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Hes a good player. He has his limitations but he is the best option we have available right now. He tries to do the right things, tries to be direct and plays passes into threatening areas.

It's pretty sad that people are so wedded to their agendas and enjoy criticising him so much that they will never accept he's ok.

 

[Paulie]

I think his biggest downfall is not having someone alongside him who can carry the ball. He looked good in his breakout season alongside Barkley who obviously ran around with the ball a lot.

Putting Tom next to schneids or siggy etc is just asking him to do 2 jobs at once.

I agree with this and I actually think we have missed Barkley more than some would admit. We need a big strong midfielder who can pick the ball up back to goal and turn on it. Schneiderlin, Delph and Sigurddson either don't want the ball or do simple passes when they get it.

Tom looked decent with Barkley, some love pass and movement from them both.

 

[Coggy]

The question for any Everton midfielder.

Is he as good as Martin Dobson?

Tom runs about a bit, but not fit to lace the great No 8's boots.

Bit of an unfair comparison mate. Dobbo was a legend. And a true gent !

Btw just to confirm I am not advocating the return of Barkley, but rather a player of a similar mould who can carry the ball for us.

yes, a proper midfield player

Iran have taken full responsibility for shooting down that airliner.

I just mention this, as it's the only thing that the halfwit sat behind me wasn't blaming Davies for today.

 

[Gaffa]

Actually had the balls to drive us forward today. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t but don’t get on his back for trying

 

[everton1953]

He is truly a real trier.

Except when he loses the ball and exposes the defence

I recognise that from time to time some players become the whipping block for supporters' frustration. The problem with Davies is he so often comes up short of the standard we need it is inevitable that he is widely criticised. Carlo will have to sort him out, probably with"out" being the operative word. However he is certainly not the first player in the queue of those we need to get shut of this coming May.

I still see him and lewin in the championship, and I don't mean with everton

The faintest of praise, sadly

Davies is absolutely nowhere near the queue of players to sell to begin with and neither is DCL.
