Clemdog 39,389 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I can't count on my two hands how many times I've written him off. But there was flashbacks to the 2008 European Run with his touches tonight. Winning the ball back in Liege's half, finding space when most players couldn't and pushing the team forward. A fantastic performance and I've not even mentioned Kamara... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEPPS BOY 73,894 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 He was fucking awful until we went in front. He’s done and should be replaced at end of season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,801 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Just so calm and composed on the ball and we don't have to worry about him making stupid decisions as he always seems to make the smart one. Thought him and Kamara were our best players once the whole team got in the game, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jela 20,361 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 He was absolutely garbage until we got the third, played very well after that but could have cost us any number of times before Arfield's goal. Replacement needed in the near future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart1994 4,302 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Thought he was poor in the first half, was better in the second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
five stars 1,621 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I don't think he can do 90 minutes at this level anymore. But still a quality player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoplandRoad83 3,251 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Has quality no doubt, but I think against top teams in Europe we can lack a bit of presence and mobility in midfield when he just sits in. Not knocking him - but I do think these days he's better suited to teams that sit in against us domestically rather than athletic teams that press us high.

British_Empire 9,648 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Tonight I thought he struggled but I can't hold it against him because, IMO, only Arfield & Kamara got pass marks for me overall playing the way they should given the high standards we've set (made the same point there in the match thread) However, I agree with the gist that he always get wrote off and he's still got something to offer us. He is valuable to us. He's not done just yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 71,878 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 It's no shame not being the player he was 10 years ago, he's still got class and can pick a pass but at times his age shows. He shouldn't be a huge peice of our team going forward and he will need replaced soon but not a bad option to have in some games that suit his strengths. Tonight wasn't one of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemdog 39,389 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 I don't think anyone performed massively well in the first half, but I do think he got control of the game in the second half. Which is exactly what we needed our midfield to do. Massively composed and as others have mentioned finds space when others can't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaka 1,673 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I think there are games where Davis can be useful but fast paced European games are not really for him anymore. He doesn't have the legs, lacks physicality and his decision making process has slowed right down. The time he takes to gather the ball and look for a forward pass is ridiculously bad. He ends up passing backwards most of the time because of this. There was even a couple of points in the game where he dropped between the centre halfs to pass from one to the other.

MayboleLoyal_atb 3,688 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Ran the show second half. Has a big part to play for us this season. Folk saying he’s done are off there heads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewaj3 1,446 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Was tremendous and I think some of the criticism of him is ott. He was poor first half, but who wasn't.. 2nd half was exceptional. Had so many good performances this season and was tremendous pre Christmas last year. I genuinely think when he's on it we play our best football. We need to use him in the important games.

jintybear 8,536 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I thought Davis was poor until he did his stupid pirouette on the edge of our box in a very dangerous area. It was almost like he gave himself a fright and woke up because he played well after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Saying he’s done is a load of pish! 🤣I’ll take £20 with anybody that the gaffer will want him here next season.

I wouldn't be against him staying as an emergency replacement, or as a coach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
