Last time we looked any good in midfield it was with those two.
Failed to clear the ball? What was his teammates doing to help? If anything Digne should have launched it but twice(?) gave the ball back to Davies. He doesn't play himself into trouble, ore often than not if a players in a pickle they end up passing it to Davies as he always shows for the ball. Had we had three more players of his ilk in midfield then we see that game out.
I'll reiterate once people stop making excuses for the lad the better....
Digne played us into trouble also but to say Davies doesn't play himself into trouble is bewildering, the lad undoes what good he does do with ridiculous short passes or to the opposition
He does show for the ball granted but it means nothing if your not productive with it

Davies is the one who probably steps up the most. More often than not when we're in trouble he ends up with the ball as everyone else hides. Him and Barry would have seen the game out tonight. We're desperate for a proper centre mid.
I very much doubt Barry would have made up for Davies's short falls, as much as I rated Barry those two together would have been one of the slowest central pairings in the history of mankind!
9 minutes 3 fouls and failed to clear the ball, the lad isn't good enough the sooner people stop making excuses for the lad the better
Plays himself and us into trouble nearly every game
-
Very good player imo
In his run up to leaving the shite when playing slightly more often he looked a player, I even thought why are they letting this guy go.
Not sure if it was him personally wanting out for more game time etc but I'd take him here pending his fitness
26 in his prime technical athletic and can carry the ball, pretty much what we massively lack now

I don’t agree with that, are you saying that 2 million more migrants are using our hospitals this year than used them in 2010 that’s why we’ve had a 25% increase in its demand, because that’s the only reason he can give for the extra demand and poor service, blame the foreigners.
Did I say or suggest that!?
Simple facts are more people regardless of where they came from put more strain on the NHS
I'm sure there's factual figures out there re immigrants but it's not something I can be arsed digging into as it's not about background it's simply about numbers to me
When I'm saying that it includes increasing birth rates and population as a whole, let's not misconstrue what's being said into some daft race debate
I do agree Bailey it's ran piss poorly but I do think funding is massively under what's required, but do agree it needs to be spread and used much better
-
In theory what your saying RPG is right the numbers don't lie but I massively disagree with funding
Regardless of "extra funds" it's a moot point if those added funds don't cover the already massive deficit in operating costs
It's like putting 20p in a vending machine for a brew and it costs 25p, you'll just be stood there like a cock waiting for something to happen when it never will..... Until Trump comes along to add 5p and walks away with your cupper whilst your stood there out of pocket and left still wanting

He clearly has the ability he just needs time to settle
Coming into a disjointed side currently in transition whilst trying to adapt to a new country and league won't be easy
I do see a fair few of the people who defend Davies don't put the same emphasis on Kean when he's clearly got far more ability and is two years younger

It was between Theo and Sidibe, they both left him. Davies was trying to cover their error
He didn't close him down re watch it if you like
Obviously errors led upto it as they always do but the one letting him get the shot of was Davies
-
Upper arm blatantly used in the area yet nothing given yet again
Should have had at least two penalties
-
Just now, Bailey said:
Sidibe so easily beaten by Trossard. He is so far off him by the time the shot is taken. I'd back myself to get closer than him there.
That was Davies he didn't close him down hence why Pickford was screaming at him, as it was for the one you mentioned Holgate in

Pickford
SIdibe Holgate Mina Digne
Morgan/Davies
Bernard Sigurdsson
Richarlison Kean DCL

Centrally
Schneiderlin - Doesnt offer anything really, a shadow of the player who could turn the ball over so effectively
Delph - A piss poor man's Barry, not good enough
Davies - Odd moments of decency to then be undone by utter shite passes and decisions, not and won't ever be good enough as a starter imo
Sigurdsson - I've never classed him as a central midfielder as such more of a number 10, he's statistically great but just seems to float through games
Gomes - Baaaaadly missed!!!
Gbamin - Jury's still out obviously due to lack of playing time
Overall that's a pretty piss poor set of players to rely on imo bar Gomes and possibly Gbamin, personally I'd like to see the back of them all bar Davies purely due to low wages and being a squad player
Until the summer window Carlo is severely limited with how he can set this side up without including such players

I’m sure I’m not the only one, but no idea what that is in reference to.
Presumably in reference to the Cantwell Maddison shout Steve, just that eloquently put it's gone over a few heads
If so only time will tell but I think he will
-
He plays through the middle, the comparison to Maddison is spot on imo
This lads already a great little player and will only get better, bear in mind this is only his second season in the first team
-
Cantwell is a very good shout
He will be another Maddison who we missed a trick with massively
I'd like us to test Palace's resolve again for Zaha, if rumours are true they want Cenk then make the deal now for the end of the season as they won't let him go now imo
I rate Mings as well so depending on how Villa fair this season he would definitely be one I'd like us to look at, has very similar attributes to Van Dijk albeit a poorer version (not a bad thing tbh)
It's impossible to tell if Carlo will approach anyone in this league as I'm sure he will have his mind set on players in the foreign market

Nobody said this, did they?
As for the second paragraph, iwobi is more proven in the games he has played with his return of goals /assists, but im not sure he will be better in the long run than Lookman.
I'm uneasy with the signing of iwobi, I felt like there were better options earlier on in the window and he was a panic buy after we realised Zaha wasn't a possibility.
"Like I said before Lookman is not far off zahas ability"
Not far off = lesser but similar
Lookman had been given ample opportunities to prove his worth and bar the very odd flash we never saw any consistency from him, something which multiple managers would have seen in training etc
Iwobi will prove to be a good singing especially for the money considering the market and buying from essentially a possible rival/English club
-
Lookman similar ability to Zaha....Jesus Christ
Iwobi is a better player than Lookman and has more in his locker
-
I must admit I was rash to get miffed by it yesterday male PMT when it's nearing deadline day
I think I had my hopes on Zaha and when we got linked to Smalling I couldn't bare it
Fresh head if it comes off I'll be happy with him, had a good nosey at him more today and if he can be a little more consistent he'll be a good buy
-

Iwobi Smalling.... what the fucks going on
We're going to end up having our pants pulled down now by clubs thinking/knowing we're panicking after missing out and making massive bids for other players
Hope it's all a smokescreen to make Steve Parish put his massive bag of cocaine down and see sense
-
Please Marcel do not undo the cult hero godhood status you have built in such a short time by bringing this useless cunt in
-
Shite
I'd much rather have Traore as a back up to Zaha if we're looking at cheaper options

Sorry it was all Digne at fault and Davies did no wrong, never does by most accounts
Now where did I put that LSD.....
