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

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

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

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

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

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

He's a modern day forward not a striker In a similar vein to Sterling Mane and co, he's been played there purely because our squad is shite and lacking options imo

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

Best of luck to him and I hope he does well and secures the move and us some money Always put a shift in and wanted to play just a little too limited here, he'll go to the top of the pile at Palace

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
