2020/21 Tom Davies

[BornBlue76]

Thought he done well, harsh blaming him for the team not getting out when DCL and Richarlison couldn’t hold on to the ball, also Digne was very deep and unable to push us forward from wide.

His role was to break up play and retain possession and he did that well.

spot on... plus his CM buddy who my nan could walk around.

he had nice game i can admit that , i wanna see midfield of Allan, Davies and Doucoure,

 

[gonetomorrow]

He was not the worst.

 

[Wrighty]

A few mixed reviews on his performance last night, I thought he did well. we all know his not amazing but he did a good job. More than what could be said for a few others last night. he's never going to be a box to box midfielder but his games adapting to the way his being asked to play. his a steady replacement for when Allan isn't fit or needs a rest.

Exactly
The amount of people who simply cannot understand his role

I dont think he did that badly. A squad player and you need those.

I also thought he did ok, he’s the local one that to take the flack, it use to be Barkley. I feel a bit for Davies not the best but he puts the effort in and in the main does ok, also bare in mind he was playing alongside Gomes who reminds Me in his effort of Sigs, so Davies did have to do more than one mans job.

Didn’t think he played that bad. He put a great block in towards the end which went out for a corner but was a cert to end up with a Leicester player.

I thought he played well. Read the game fairly well, and broke the play up numerous occasions. 7/10

Much better than Gomes, any one with eyes can see that. Christ if Gomes went any slower he'd be going backwards.

Tom did really well considering he was basically a one man midfield.

Spot on this. Had a good first half, collectively the midfield lost shape right from the start of the second half. Thought in particular Digne and Richarlison weren’t close enough to Tom and Gomes. Digne seemed to start the second half playing like a second fullback outside Godfrey. Left far too much space in the middle for Davies and Gomes to cover. Gomes can’t cover ground at the best of times, wasn’t an easy shift for Tom and did not bad in the circumstances.

I'm not a hater but here is some hate

Don't hate just don't rate. No rating him doesn't mean hating him.

 

[BlueInNZ]

Just the MOTM poll and right now Tom has scored more votes than Holgate, Gomes, Digne, Richarlison and DCL put together.

Im not sure what my point is, just thought Id mention it.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Would be ace if we can punt Davies into League One where he belongs and get an upgrade. Nothing against the lad personally but he’s stinking the place out and the odd half decent performance doesn’t change that.

The thing about Davies for me is that he's, positionally-speaking, as sound a player as you'lll get in that CM role. He is where he should be most of the time in a game: screening defence and breaking up play when we're under attack; in position ready for the ball when we get hold of it and up there supporting the attack. It's just that he is average at what he does most of the time: he breaks up play, then loses it; he gets on the ball, but misplaces a pass and a move breaks down.

His instinct is right in terms of his bearings on the pitch for the role he plays (which is why, no doubt, Ancelotti keeps playing him), but his execution is bang average.

He's young and he still has time to tune up the execution side of the CM role; but his instinct positionally cant be taught and he has it. Someone like Allan can help him develop a more rounded game, I suppose.

It was an excellent block.

He just done OK,I dont think he can take any blame in the midfield getting over run,the whole team didnt close down Leicester,they were allowed to carry the ball forward for 3 quarters of the pitch,he isnt and never will be the answer to any of our problems,he could maybe fill a spot on the bench in place of the 3rd keeper
