He’s not exactly my favourite player- do I think he should arart? Probably not- Captain? Defo not but he’s 20, young and learning. Some of our fans on Twitter especially are utter utter gobshites the grief they give the kid. I'm not on Twitter, don't see the point or need for it TBH, are they deffo Everton fans or trolls?

plaidharper Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Wasn't in the u21 squad today for their win. Anyone know what is up with that? Hopefully not another injured midfielder from the international break (Gana scored but was injured in Senegal's last game and is not starting in their game today).

Think it was more a case of give a few other players a chance against a very average Scotland team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far from the worst player last week and laughable to say Schneiderlin was noticeably better. nutmegwolf203, London Blue, Palfy and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Really surprised at his performance yesterday. Being League 1 standard I expected a decent game against a League 2 side. Instead I'm forced to reevaluate his level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 I just don't think he's good enough. Whether it's down to the change in managers/poor managers at a key development stage I don't know but to get where we want to be we need better. A loan deal may be an idea.

I'm definitely willing to admit I was wrong about him because I thought he was better than what he actually is. But he's nowhere near being good enough. Honestly thought he'd have a good game yesterday against a lower league side, but instead it was the usual little boy lost routine where he does absolutely nothing. nyblue23, EFC-Paul and London Blue 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Echo what Mark says He shows nothing that can be built upon for me No pace no vision or range of passing, 99% of the time turns the ball over backwards or sideways and slows play right down He's a plodder who's not cut out for this level and you can tell he never will be imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badaids Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 After 2 years he’s still got this tendency to rush forward blindly and over commit himself, get hoodwinked and find himself way out of position. Got caught out and exposed the team several times yesterday. Just hasn’t kicked on in the way that we hoped. Still young enough to develop but needs more effective coaching or the right loan, I feel.

Bailey Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 I have been a big supporter of his but his last two performances in particular have been crap. When a player is on the fringes and they get a chance they need to come in show why they should be starting but he does the opposite. Thats the same for many young players but he needs to start pulling his finger out. If Gueye or Gomes get injured we are fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 I liked him when he came on the scene. Liked his look, socks around his ankles always wanting the ball, confident. Now I just see a decent footballer that screams championship player all over him. I’d love to be proved wrong but has anyone seen him play a killer ball threaded through to a striker or something that makes you think wow?

sydneyneil Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 He doesn’t have anything to his game unfortunately. He’s not good enough for this level. So many English players fail to kick on....it would be interesting to know how dedicated some are off the field, or whether they are always out, etc, or whether they lose the motivation once nailing a big contract. You can’t have millions of Harry Kanes but we’ve seen so many just stand still EFC-Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 I’d send him to Spain for a bit to be honest. He’s got the tenacity and bite. He is technically a good player just needs to find that little bit extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 He needs game time, and a manager to decide what type of midfielder he is, box to box, attacking midfielder, or central midfielder and then help him develop. I think a loan is the best option for him. He is still only 20 after all. He has the skills, just needs the time to develop, maybe away from the critical eye of Goodison.

That's the problem he has very little about him to suggest he's anything but a plodding central midfielder He certainly isn'tt a box to box mid nor an attacking mid either I'm genuinely curious as to what skills some see in him? Does he have pace? No Good feet and skills? Not a bad touch etc but very little else in the technical department Range of passing? No Vision or able to turn the ball over positively? No He seems a good lad with a good work rate but I just don't see what some see in him that would suggest that he or a manaher will suddenly change his natural abilities Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Who’s this kid Diaz who has just gone to Madrid from city? I bet he is three or four times the player Davies is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Last season when we needed to keep hold of the ball and waste time Davies was the player the team looked for. No doubt the coaches would have practiced keeping hold of the ball near the corner flag in training and Davies must have been the best. Said it yesterday but what player has played well next to Gana? You look at Gomes' good performances and he's had to take on two or three players at a time. You look at the bad and it's because he's lost the ball when the two of three players have come at him. How any one can moan Davies doesn't do anything with the ball yet don't say anything about Gana is beyond me. Night and day difference in their passing quality. nyblue23, StevO and Paddock 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibdane Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 He needs to go out on loan. His progress has really stalled (or even digressed).
