Tom Davies

[Azzurri]

Imagine Davies, Barkley, Lukaku and Holgate being in their prime and surrounded by big money signings in a few years time.

I must stop doing this to myself, optimism only ends in bigger disappointment.

We have to be careful not to place too much expectation on the boy's shoulders. He needs a few months to achieve his inevitable destiny of becoming the greatest player of all time.

Heard he's odds on for the next Ballon d'Or?

Huge if true.

It is reflective of the impact made by Tom Davies during Everton’s destruction of Manchester City that by the end of the afternoon, he needed to be reminded about one of his key contributions towards the outcome. Everton were 1-0 ahead at the time, with City hunting for an equaliser. Kevin De Bruyne’s cross was met by Bacary Sagna and City would have been level. But Davies was there on post duty and he was able to make the clearance. “I forgot about the header off the line actually!” Davies replied after it was suggested to him that Sunday, January 15 is a date he won’t forget, considering he’d also played a crucial role in Everton’s opener before scoring his first professional goal – a wonder-goal, in fact.

He's going to be very hard to drop from this point. Gueye might struggle to get his place back in the side!

Don't be silly mate he's the POTY so far.

I know that but who gets dropped when he returns? I'll be very surprised if Schniederlin isn't first choice.

 

[Furey1878]

I look forward to him slowly being eroded by the fans

Gana, Schneiderlin and Barkley will be first choice. Give the kid a chance, let's not rush him into it.

 

[chrissyjack]

Have the media sold him yet ?

I just don't think Davies can be dropped while he's playing so well.

The last midfielder like that I witnessed in a blue shirt was shades of the masterful Ball of Fire - all over the pitch - creative hard in the tackle for his size - his goal was sublime he finished it like his Uncle Alan Whittle -
high praise indeed to think he is 18 thats why I put him near Bally he did that week in week out so any youngster wanting to know what Alan Ball was like that was Davis yesterday, but he did it nearly every game, was so arrogant he could beat a man and sit on the ball, he made time as it meant nothing to him as he knew he was better than anyone as he was so quick, and fiery -
Tom Davis in his wonder goal slipped over, and got back up it was because he had the pace, to have that time - to run City ragged - I can only say it fetched back glimpses of the best box to box midfielder I ever seen in a Blue shirt - Alan Ball - Tom Davis came very close to him yesterday at such a young age - when I was young you went to see Ball , as you knew he was nearly always going to turn it on - early days , but this lad looks a gem!

I wanted to say something similar.

He has that Alan Ball persona about him. All action, non-stop and influencing the game around him.

If we are on the theme of assessing his attributes in a hyperbolic fashion, I think he should be made captain once Jags has gone.
I know it sounds a bit mad but Arsenal made Adams and Fabregas captain at 18 and they along with the teams they led, did pretty well.
He seems like the kind of player that makes the others around him raise their game and that to me is the real essence of a great captain.

He could be a flash in the pan but I don't get the same vibe off him that I had from say, Rodwell or even Barkley for that matter.

Lets's not forget he's only 18 though. Some of that fearlessness might get coached out of him and he will do something cocky or careless that will cost us. He will also have bad games or even some loss of form but we have to support him and hope he fulfils all his dreams with Everton.

A future captain one would hope?

You people are going to destroy him before his 19th birthday.
