2019/20 Tom Davies

[the sniderman]

Having an opinion on a player isn't abuse. Just pointing that out.

Also thewhole 'young everton players being abused' is a complete myth. People criticise players who are crap. Plenty of older players who are 'hated' on here, age doesn't even come into it.

Siggurdson bought for 45m - disliked vastly, almost in his 30s.
Richarlison bought for 50m - loved by most, he's what ? 22/23?

Absolute myth.

that is exactly what an impotent fan with delusions of entitlement would claim. thank u for proving my point of their lack of accountability so perfectly andrew.

Nice to have a personal attack, but it's utter nonsense. Please explain how younger players are targeted more than older? Evidence please as the major booboys this season have been the older players. Walcott, Siggurdsson and Keane.

Criticised for years... at 21.

I would usually agree with this but with most youngsters who’ll turn out to be good you can see something to build on pretty early doors. We haven’t seen this with Davies, he just already looks like he’s destined to be a utility player with no stand out qualities to assist the team. That’s scary at 21 imo.

i am shaking my head at your delusion at asking this. are u new to everton buddy?? welcome.

jeez a cull of these toxic and entitled needs to happen asap.

 

[God Benfrey]

Fixed

Nah mate he can pass fine, always finds an opposing player to give the ball to, straight to the feet

 

[ArtetaMoney]

I’ve never been a fan of him but always wanted him to prove me wrong and admitted his main attribute is that he’s young, so has the chance to improve. The scary thing about him is that he’s actually getting worse.

 

[LEONARD]

He'll turn into Liam Brady in 6 month's time.

Cue,@the sniderman, to call us all out as 'toxic' no nothings.

 

[the sniderman]

you are all toxic no nothings.

 

[street end]

I present impotent everton fans whose combo of entitlement and inner insufficiencies masquerade in abusing their own young players. they are the problem not the players.

Yeah ok

 

[Papa Shango]

He'll turn into Liam Brady in 6 month's time.

Cue,@the sniderman, to call us all out as 'toxic' no nothings.

Turning into Karen Brady would be an improvement right now.

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Turning into Karen Brady would be an improvement right now.

She’d defo be stronger in the challenge.

 

[ToffeeLee1878]

Don’t know how he’s managed it but he’s regressed badly last few months ship
Him out on loan to a championship club and hopefully they will sign him,he’s never a premier league Midfielder

 

[the sniderman]

Yeah ok

pleased u can admit it buddy this is the first stage of being able to get an erection and love thyself.

 

[Caolam]

I have watched the two goals we conceded and, while he isn't the only player in the wrong, I cannot work out what he thought he was doing or meant to be doing.

 

[catcherintherye]

You can be coached in a lot of aspects in the game
You can have a lot of natural ability
However unless you have a footballing brain (See Rooney ) you will never succeed at the top.
Ross has not got one either has TOM

When I played poker to a reasonable level what got you to the end of tournaments was sensing the moment. When it was the right time to "tighten up", be more aggressive, play more hands, avoid getting involved, when to bluff and when to avoid it etc. While you can have a generic understanding of what to do when, you also get a feel for these things.

In a football sense, this could be seen as when is the right time to be dribbling towards your own corner flag, or pulling people down, and when is the right time to put your foot through it.

I don't think Davies picks up on the flow of games. That's the biggest criticism I can level at him. He does lots of things well, but he doesn't read the context of games at all.

He wasn't helped yesterday, Digne gave him a hospital ball at 2-0, for reasons unbeknown to me. However had Irwin given that pass to keane, he lashes it out and has a serious word with Irwin. I didn't see, but I'm not sure Davies said anything? Diane has to take some culpability too.

The problem is, that it happens much too often with Tom. It happened with Brighton. He makes a sloppy pass. The situation dictated just push the ball past the players towards the corner flag and chase. It just doesn't seem to resonate with him at all.

The disappointing part is he has natural ability. You look at say Henderson for that lot across the park, and you have a polar opposite footballer. Similar ability (perhaps even less ability) but goodness me does he know how to squeeze ever ounce of talent out of himself and does he grasp the flow and situation of a match.

I'm lost with this team and players like Davies. I've seen much worse teams than this, and much worse players than him (Thomson, Mitch Ward, Everton through the 90's) however none of those players would make the poor decisions he does. I'm a bit flabbergasted with it all.
