Made In Aston Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, terrytini said: He’d be some player if he had goals in him. Terrific hold up play and not a small amount of skill. But ..... Because he is often going a bit deeper to hold up the ball and playing with his back to goal most of the time, it isn't surprising he doesn't really score many. He needs someone running past him who can pick the ball up and drive towards goal. A Hassan type maybe?

I think the goals will come for him, it's not as if everytime he gets a chance he blazes it wide or over the bar, he's often unlucky, with a run in a decent attacking team, either us or on loan then I'm sure he'll start scoring goals. Heskey was very mobile when he was Davis’ age. Davis is nowhere near as good as Heskey was. I don’t see him troubling premier league defences. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Not many players are as good as Heskey was when he was young he was one of the most highly rated players in the country, doesn't mean to say they're not good enough for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I thought he was unlucky not to get a goal today. That turn and shot was excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I really like Keinan, his first touch and his footwork in tight spaces are assets. But you could see the gulf in class when Wesley came on I think. Wesley may not have been quite as mobile, but he didn't have to be. One touch, two touch, pass and go. Davis's decision making needs work. I think a loan would be the dream for him this season. He's got enough about him to make it, but he needs regular game time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearing in mind that he has hardly had any game time in his career so far, I think he did very well. He does need to release the ball quicker though, as there were a few chances to play other people in, but went begging as the moment had past before he could spot them and play the pass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think that Tammy’s link up play, ability to hold the ball up, passing, movement, dribbling ability are all significantly better than KD?

I'm not knocking his potential, I want him to hit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 He has good technique and ball control for being such a big lad, and is strong as well. But the more I see of him the more I doubt he is overall good enough for where we want to be in the Premier League. I think he should get a couple of games coming on from the bench and starting the odd cup game during the fall to raise his value, then loan him out to a Championship club in the January transfer window and then hopefully we can get £4-5M for him next summer. Happy to be proven wrong and for him to develop further though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Another that I think could benefit from a full season in the Championship if there were any suitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Something missing from his game, I can't quite put my finger on what. His hold up play is superb. I agree, he needs a full season of senior football to smooth out the kinks of his game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ability to hold up the ball is great and has some really nifty footwork but I just never fancy him to score and I personally don't see that ever changing unfortunately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to get into the goal scoring groove when you play once every couple of months. Easier to find a vein of scoring form if he was playing week in/week out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quazzie goat Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Needs game time and more confidence. Loan move to a good footballing Championship side would suit him. Definitely has a future here though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean. Like Doug says he could be quicker in his decision making, but I also think he is pulled to deep, and I am not sure that's on him. Goes without saying you won't be having as much goal scoring opportunities you could've had when you're forced deep to bring the play up every time. If we could get him on loan to a club like Sunderland or something that would do him good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
