Gompedyret Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 OK, Keinan. From now on, you just go ahead and save our season. That's a good lad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(El Ghazi was decent today) we should give Davis a chance now and move Oli to the right. I think that would be absolutely the wrong thing to do. We need to get Ollie and KD central, playing off each other and get a 10 in behind them in a diamond. KD is still not a 20 goal a season player, although he is off the mark! He is the new Heskey and Ollie is Owen. We just need to reconfigure the team - 3-5-2/4-1-2-1-2/3-4-1-2 - to allow the two to work together. Rely on Cash and Targett for the deliveries!

VillaChris Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 He really should start next week. No way should Traore or Barkley start so even if we bring in another CM like Ramsey we still have 3 attacking positions to fill which will be Ollie, AEG (who was decent first half) and 3rd has to be Davis surely? Up to Dean with a week's training to get that combination working on the training pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Happy he's got his goal and I like his physicality and hold up play but I fear he's not suited to our team and will never really get the chance to start. Is he a player that can do the high press for 90 minutes like Ollie does? We have two 25m strikers available now, I'd like to see him get a run but he doesn't suit modern systems and certainly can't fit into the Smith system unless we shift Watkins out wide. I feel like he's most suited to Italian football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panto_Villan Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Good lad. I feel like he's earned nine or perhaps even ten minutes next game. Edited April 25, 2021 by Panto_Villan 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We surely can't start Traore after his showing tonight. He's been terrible last few weeks and I am a fan but some of the decisions he made in final third were bizarre. I think Davis will start unless we just pack the team with central midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted April 25, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 25, 2021 I'd happily see El Ghazi or Traore dropped to make way for him. Neither do anything anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not really, but if we looking for a different style of play or to change the game up then I assume we are going to go to the guy we paid 25 million for.

I hope you're right. It just seems sensible to me, that with 5 or 6 games left and nothing much to play for, that we should be trying to see who can make a case for themselves. Davis, to me, is a player who has played pretty well in the limited minutes he's had since January. If I were the manager, I would want to know whether he's got anything more to him than just being an annoyance against tired legs. But I doubt he'll start, and I expect Traore will.
