Tom Davies

Absolutely.

Uh, Ben Ford in the chat, there's a conversation going on about comparing and contrasting Zach Eckersley and Tom Davies.

I get what you're saying about his meters out of backfield, but a winger's there to put the ball over the line, and Zach has absolutely destroyed him.

Yeah.

So it's about balance.

I, I get your point.

You know, Tom's game, he's coming out of backfield and he does it really well- But let me tell you now, Willie Peters would sacrifice a few hundred meters for a few more drives from Tom Davies in big games all day long.

All day long.

I think he said he was over in Munich in Germany for four to five weeks.

Everton staff were out there as well, but it was a private clinic that had previously been used by, off the top of my head, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Tom Davis and a few others.

Loads of Premier League players, loads of Bundesliga players because of where it is in Germany.

Um, club staff were out there helping him, and basically it was a case of looking at everything and, "Why am, why am I s- getting injured? What do we need to change?" I think we all know one of the things that did change in pre-season is that Everton very consciously dipped him in and out of things.

Don't think there's much left in the tank.

Tom Davies, age 28.

Hmm.

That's an interesting one, that.

When I was watching it back in the week, I watched the brilliant classic AFC matches, compilation of goals of Goodison Park in the Premier League.

I feel like it's the inverse of Lukaku against Man City for Tom Davies' goal.

He doesn't try and get

it.

I'm not a linen guy, I've told you this before.

Tom Davies says it's called Mickey drips.

You've got to drain the snake out, and then it's like your knob then goes back in, and then it's like it will then go drip, drip, and then you have a couple of piss stains.

Yeah, it depends what your preferred kind of method of dick pulse morse code is.

I know you weren't saying that, but...

Because, yeah, we could have just, I don't know, brought Tom Davis back, couldn't we? Well, we always have.

Yeah, we kind of have.

He can play right back, probably.

We pick it all the time now.

But it's about, well, who do we bring on? And maybe Tom Davies has got a knock and we've got Alfie Merritt in.

He's class.

Aren't we lucky? That's where the depth is.

And I thought, this is not the time to trial the depth.

And if there's anywhere that we don't have depth, yeah, it's the left-back position.

Without a Tom Davies, wherever he may be, and it falls to Dan Sasse, who did struggle.

And he was part of that receding back line, the pressure we could not absorb, and it ended up being two goals to them.
