He doesn't play in DM for Northern Ireland though. I rate Davis, think he has much to offer us in an attacking sense, but he has never, ever performed in defensive midfield for us against all but the worst teams.

Thing is, centrebacks don't usually hit their peak for another 4-5 years, sometimes longer (Fonte, Vidic...). We shouldn't give up on him, and as our season is risk-free right now it's the perfect opportunity to give him top class experience and learn from his mistakes with little real consequence.

6 from 9 all away. Nothing new in that game...defense is shaky, Forster is uncommanding, Davis is sh*t in DM but we have to fit him in somehow when Hojberg or Clasie should be given chances.

He has always been sh*te in defensive midfield, from day one. Much better further forward. Todays performance was no surprise to those of us who are objective.

Except those two times when he was onside. Long has played well, won a lot of headers up top.

What the **** is davis playing at?????????

Name another one?

Boufals been abysmal since he came on, gone backwards so much.

Not sure about JRod, both Redmond and JWP are playing well.

I've seen freekicks given for tackles from behind where they still got the ball, so why is that any different?

First thing Redmonds done wrong all game there with that pass.

Gabbiadini stood up by the tunnel, not sat down with any ice on his c*ck. hopefully taken off as a precaution.

Yes Jimmy!

Or something totally unexpected, a shot from a player unmarked on the edge of the box through a crowd of players so he's unsighted...

Nothing wrong with the freekick routine. Davis just forgot to f*cking go for it. Should have been a penalty as well. Joke.

Davis is ****ing ****e in DM, get him out of there for ****s sake.

Gabbiadini out for the season, fantastic. [emoji23]

Shocking from the linesman, shocking from Tadic.

Initially thought so, on second viewing other keepers would have just fallen on it...he just rather flapped at it.

Davis in DM does not and has never worked against all but the worst teams. He's too weak defensively and too far back for his decent attacking play to be effective.

Davis has been sh*te so far.

Why did Forster not come for that cross in? Ball high in the air in his 6 yard box ffs. Great, 1 down straight after that.

Redmond looks so good.

Ffs forster just kick it down the middle if you can't accurately kick to the touchline...

None of them have signed as many quality players as we have either. Anyway, I bet anyone our record transfer fee that Gabbiadini won't go this summer. That's not how we do things.
