2020/21 Tom Davies

[MACCA75]

Davies’ biggest downfall is that no one has give him a set position and coached him in it. He’s been used in a few different positions when needed. He may not actually be good enough but he’d have more of a chance being settled and coached.

Rewind back a season or two and if he was coached properly he may have been able to do what Allan is doing. I also think it’s something Holgate could do, especially after watching him in midfield last year.

How do you know what coaching he gets?

Davies development was really harmed with all the managerial changes.
Having a manager who believes in him and can use him more intelligently will help hip develop. He is still only 22, so loads of scope to learn.

Yeah
We could have expectd som

Well it's both really. If you're not strong and not quick it's difficult.

I suppose the frustration is, that Davies was relative strong as an 18 year old. He has fallen behind others in the same age, which is understandable (people grow at different rates) but it shouldn't have been so pronounced. He could certainly be stronger, hard to get quicker but could have been stronger.

As you say, he's a bit one paced really (though he has a good engine) but he's also weak on and off the ball. He should have got bigger and stronger in the last 4 years.

His decision making is getting better as is his positional discipline. This season he's been much more disciplined, but not not kicked on in general as he might have done.

I really think he needs to get a PT or a plan that really works on his pace and strength...surely everyone knows this and maybe in the next off-season he can do something

Agreed that if he could bulk up and not get knocked off the ball so easy/knock other guys off the ball it would be a big improvement.

He wouldn’t get in the Burnley team though. All their midfielders are more useful than him.

Really? Cork and Westwood???? No. Yard dogs, complete yard dogs.

But you wouidnt need the Toyota Yaris, because the BMW garage will give you another one, to run around in while it’s getting fixed.

Like when Doucoure or Allan can’t play you bring someone in of a similar level.

And the potless Neighbours down the road IE Burnley, can have the Yaris.

Who is that player to replace Doucoure and Allan? You do understand they need to be signed don't you, and till we sign a new 6th choice midfielder then we are stuck with Davies......

Personally I'd be looking to critique the £35m spent on Gomes and delph rather than looking at the freebie we got courtesy of the youth set up.

Yard dogs they may be but more effective than Tom they are

How? When did they play for Everton? They are yard dogs.

As limited as they are they’re more effective as prem midfielders than what Tom has shown so far

Bring him on

How are they? They are yard dogs,. They can't pass. ..... They wouldn't get a game for our reserves. That's why they played for clubs like crewe

They are which is more than what Tom has shown

One of the best managers in the history of the game picks Tom Davies ..... Sean Dyche picks those 2.

Toms already achieved more than they ever will .

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

i would bring holgate on. Quicker and more physical presence.
