I'd rather start with 10 men instead of playing Davies, Barry or Cleverley.
How can we possibly say for sure one way or the other with Davies?
I just want him to get a chance to see what he can do, because right now we're not playing well and it makes sense to me to try something different
It's hardly radical thinking is it?
It's Leicester and Hull away in the League, a League which we have no chance of winning are playing utterly pish in, one good game against Arsenal aside.
Why not let Davies have a few minutes against one of them and see what happens?
He doesn't have to do a full 90, he doesn't even have to start, but let's get him on there for a bit eh?

Jose Baxter worked out well.
Well we're going to have to play one of them mate
Koeman plays two defensive mids, Besic and Jimmy Mac are out, Gibson will probably be in rehab/prison/flavour country, so it's Gana and one of them three I'm afraid
He doesn't even need a run of games, he just needs a few minutes off the bench
What do we have to lose at this point?
Start him with Gana at some point, ffs. The boy has Magic in his Boots and his hair.

Screw minutes off the bench. Start him ahead of the deadwood mate. Young legs and enthusiasm from the start not when we are out of the game again.

Or two of them three, when Gana's out on AFCON duty.
....I'd normally disagree with your stance on playing youngsters on almost a trial basis but I think you make a valid point. We have looked better with greater energy in midfield (Gueye/McCarthy), Barry will come back and do the solid job he usually does but perhaps there's nothing to lose playing Davies. Saying that, we thought he'd be ahead of McCarthy and Cleverly in the pecking order but suddenly McCarthy is back in favour.
Perhaps he could play Davies in the Barkley position.
.....we do need to ensure we pick up points otherwise we could drop like a stone.
That's going to SUCK
I honestly don't think we'd do much worse with Davies in
And again, he doesn't have to start, just get him off the bench for a bit
I'd never suggest just playing a kid unless I thought he'd do better than the incumbent player, or at least to par as the incumbent player
It's not a drastic move if we take Barry off after 70 minutes at the K-COM and bring Davies on for the remainder is it?
