He’s a much better finisher than he is given credit for he has to prove that....but i suspect it could still happen. its the run of games, that is crucial.

useless Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 My last post was praising him but it probably says just as much about our other players as well, not that they're all so very bad they've all got potential, just that we need more consistency from them.

Between Douglas Luiz, Wesley, Marvellous, El Ghazi and Davis, I would rank Davis last in terms of who best player overall. Which means of our regular midfielders and attackers, I think Davis is only better than Trez. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Some of those are better than Davis at their best, but none of them are anywhere near as consistent as Davis is, Davis puts in a good performance everytime he plays whereas the others are very inconsistent.

villalad21 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I think Keinan have got a lot of good attributes. But his finishing look a bit aimless. It's like he closes his eyes every time he get's into a goal scoring opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WooJung Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 If he started games he would really help us retain possession, lump the ball up to him and it will stick to him, allowing the rest of the team to get further. Smith needs to find a way to play both him and samatta up front. Arguably a midfield diamond with Jack roaming behind the strikers would the what most suits our personnel. And our wingers aren't anywhere premier league standard. The counter to this formation is that we would be very reliant on our full backs to provide width, and defensively that might be a concern, but we would be harder to break through centrally, which has been a concern all season.

useless Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 The fact that he manages to play well when he gets a chance in the odd appearance here the there is all the more to Davis' credit, and suggests that if he had a run in the side he'd do even better and we'd might also see his goals scoring stats improve then as well.

Based on your gut? I’m happy to give him a chance but his at the various levels as pointed out in prior pages with back up shows he doesn’t have a good or even acceptable goal ratio. but I’m happy if he’s upfront with Samatta for a run of games but I’m not expecting anything because history shows that but I want to be surprised.

gwi1890 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 All his missed chances on goal ar agonisingly close side netting or post , I can recal the ball falling at his feet and him scuffing a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll get myself into trouble around multiple comments on this thread from others but he’s been consistently average at best when he’s been on the pitch. Bit of a ‘Meh’ player to be honest but I want him to prove me wrong but probably needs to go out on loan next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
