Wow, you took all the effort to go through and find those

I took about 2 minutes, he was only on the pitch about 18 minutes

He's right though. Davis was really poor when he came on

He's not right and David was not poor.  I'm not going any further with this.

He really was. Nothing stuck to him, he wasn't physical enough, he made sloppy passes and he missed a huge chance to seal the game.

I like the guy. And I was screaming for him to come on because he USUALLY holds it up far better than Samatta and I felt that with his physical presence would be exactly what he needed.

But I think he froze. He was poor

I agree completely. Davis wasn't great at all. 

The miss wasn't the worst miss ever (I'm looking at you AEG ) but I think it knocked his confidence a bit and his whole game suffered.

There was two other instances, miss aside, that spring to mind and that was a simple lay off to Jack which would have set up a nice attack - he played it straight out of play and another instance in the corner flag where he lazily tried winning a corner off the defender, defender moves and Keinan's "cross" goes to one of the Arsenal players and we're immediately on the back foot.

I like him too, I would love him more than anyone to get the winner on Sunday that seals our top-flight status.

I still think his attitude is questionable. I get he lost his head after the miss but doesn’t mean you stop running.

He looked like a guy who’d been told it was his last chance, and he **** it up.
