2020/21 Tom Davies

[blue62]

You got that with Dom, after the West Ham game. His first poor game this season. The usual daggers were out.

Turned out he was injured.

why are we like this and is it just Blues?

 

[Crestfallen]

The lad has always had the talent.
He just needed a run of games, a set position and a manager to show 100% faith in him to prove to the boneheads what he is.

Funnily enough most of those who shouted the loudest about him are they same clowns who wrote DCL off.


What a world we live in eh

Agreed mate, I just don’t get the lack of support for a lad whos come through the ranks. It’s almost as if some want him to fail. Get behind him, he may improve even more.

Tommy D

 

[marcus]

He's always been brave on the ball and never hides, but maybe it's just me, but he's looked half a yard faster, the last three or four games. Would be made up if Tom makes it here, because as you can see he loves it at Everton.

Go on Tom lad...

 

[kenada_blue]

Agree entirely. Really proud !.

Wouldn't get a kopite doing that.

You can think what you like. I dont know you so why would i be bothered. Again you're doing it. Writing like half a dozen games improvement has completely erased his form for the best part of 18 months. Virtualy 99% of this forum would have sold him when there was speculation about a transfer to newcastle. Why? Because he was poor. His fitness was poor. His game was poor. He's clearly worked on his fitness which coincides with his game. Remember he cost us the game at leicester, why do you think he did. Because he looked shattered and that made his game and passing sloppy. And it was a regular thing. If thats changed and he has his act together he's welcome at Everton.
But like any player if they cant manage 90 minutes and that just continues then look to move them on.
Its not that hard to grasp.

Incredible insight, all he had to do was some extra running? Have you thought of getting into coaching?

99% is an interesting statistic you have invented. Plenty of people backed the boy, many who didn't have now seen the light. Don't live in the darkness Gil, join us.

I'm sure if he'll be delighted that you'll permit him welcome to the club if he maintains his form.

 

[Houghty19]

My assessment of a player is never based on whether they've come through the ranks or been bought for £50m. If they're playing crap then i say so and up until Tom's latest stint in the team over the last month or so he's been utter garbage and anybody who says different hasn't been watching us, but he has without a doubt turned my opinion of him around with his recent performances because he changed from not being able to pass a ball forwards to actually passing it forward, and for those on here that appear to be saying they knew he would come good sorry but there's nothing in this lads last two years to indicate that he could turn it round and he deserved the criticism he was getting. If he continues to perform the way he has been i certainly won't criticise him but if he starts playing crap again i will that's what you do if you see players playing crap see richarlison for most of this season.

 

[hktoffee]

Top bloke. Would not say a bad thing on him hereinafter. A class act, for what he has done to the community.

Im not changing my stance on it just to please you. A flavour of the month post and then 5/6 games possibly change back. consistency is the key to wether him or anyone warrant a place. No different to pickord iwobi etc.
Big difference i see in davies now is his fitness. His lack of before made him sloppy and it was a real issue. Hence why he got a lot of criticism. Not talking about a 17yr old. He was 20/21 and he shouldnt have been that fcked in games.
Lets see for the rest of the season. Im not sold on anyone over a few games when they were previously so poor.
Going on about its an Everton thing. I tell you what an Everton thing is. A few good games and everyones a world beater. Biggest problem the club has had for donkeys years. You dont have to be consistent. Just chuck in a few good games and you've made it here.

You won't move your stance but you will move the goalposts. Nobody is saying he is a world beater.

Those writing him off and calling him a championship player at 20/21 now look daft.

I'm not sure why you keep harping on about his fitness. Do you have anything to back this up?

Here's a thought: he's playing in an set position for a great manager who knows how to play to his strengths, rather than being sent out chasing shadows by Marco Silva. This is why he looks miles better and it has nothing to do with fitness.

Nah they don’t.
End of last season and up until last couple of months he didn’t even look like a footballer, he was actually that bad. Let’s not start rewriting the past.
But Carlo and his staff obviously think there’s a player there and have managed to get a tune out of him.
Simple as that really.

 

[KaiserEFC]

He’s been alright like, improved for sure but I don’t think he’s been anything out of this world special as some are suggesting. I hope he keeps the improvement up and he becomes a decent member of the squad

 

[blueblue]

Tom Davies looks an excellent footballer at the moment and was never as bad as some made out.

That will not be admitted by some because they think it makes them look as if they know nothing about football.

Whereas it is refusing to accept they just made a bad call that really makes them look silly.

Someone should really take the shovel away from a couple on here.

 

[FinnTrikker]

He's having a decent form spell from a really bad one that stretched back for the best part of 3 seasons,even during his good games Carlo has subbed him fairly early in on so let's not make out he's setting the world on fire right now.
Will judge him at the end of the season and would like nothing better to know that there is a player there...

Disagree about his fitness. He was labouring last year when ancelotti was here.
We can go round the houses all day long. You're on glue if you think its a forum thing. I was at wembley in 95 when Everton last won something. I was 24. Im 50. In all that time ive seen inconsistent players come and go. 5/6 games is not what i class as proving themselves.
Lets see after 20 odd games. If his form continues i'll be posting about it. If his form dips you'll disapear quicker than a fart in the wind.
