Tom Davies

When him Connely and Dowell got chances at the back end of last season they looked like they had a higher gear than the rest of the first team squad. The same was true today, Davies came on and had the aggression and desire to hold off Kante and Magic something that Cleverley Barkley and Barry didn't do in 90 minutes.

These lads want to play for Everton which at the moment puts them ahead of the majority of the first team squad who are either: treating us as a retirement home, treating us as a stepping stone, or just using us to get game time to rehabilitate their career.

How many of that team would run through a wall for Everton the way the likes of Cahill Carsley Hibbert even Naismith would? Not one.

Koeman needs to start giving some real Evertonians a chance if he can't inspire the necessary levels of passion from his first team squad.
 
Happy for the lad today. Mum said there would be days like these. I hope he showed Koeman his value. Let the kid play half the team danced around with little finished product.

Spot on post mate
 
I know Chelsea took the foot of the gas but Davies look more accomplished than the rest of our shower. Moved the ball quicker, moved into space to receive. Steady from him and hopes he gets more chances.
Only positive for me was Davies.
 

Tom Davies looked like a player when he came on. I realise Chelsea had dropped down a gear by that time but he showed for passes, he moved the ball and he competed. No one else on the team did that.
I can't say if the boy is ready for the Premiership but he is better than anything we have to offer in mid-field at the moment so he is ready for us.
If we aren't good enough and are going to loose matches at least play players who are going to try.
I watched every minute of the game yesterday, can't recall Cleverly having any part in it whatsoever.

Yep we wouldn't have been any worse off yesterday starting Davies in place of Cleverley. I think that's our problem, we still look so stale because we didn't bring enough enough fresh blood. So the best way to remedy that is to give some of the youth players a chance, players who would be chomping at the bit to be given a game.

superb post.

lastnights result wasnt just the 5 nil thrashing, it just highlighted the complete lack of heart that our 'team' has.

a team with no heart isnt worth putting out on the field.

davies and co should get given a real opportunity. they would go down fighting , thats for sure, not just shrugging their shoulders at eachother
 
the only thing that disappointed me about Tom was that he didnt slap the others across the face when he came on !
