EulogyForEvolution Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 3 minutes ago, Millenniumram said: I’m not so sure, great player that he is with potential to go right to the top, some of his defending doesn’t quite match up to his ball playing skills. He’s great in the tackle but sometimes gets caught out positionally, particularly in the air, which he normally recovers with his pace. That weakness may yet be exposed in the prem, and a season in a battle lower down may sort out those weaknesses. I actually think he'd be ready if it was in a back three next to a couple of centre halves who could dominate in the air. Had Davies been fit last year, I think we would have ended up seeing something like this by the end of the season: Roos Keogh Davies Tomori Bogle Malone Johnson Mount Wilson Waghorn Marriott Could have seen us up!

lukedcfc Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Everton would be a good move for Tomori, It's basically sink or swim for him at the highest level. Wisdom is the perfect example of what can happen if you fail in the premier league. Back in 2014 I thought wisdom was destined for big things, he now can't get near out starting 11.

Wisdom may well be an option this season, certainly if we don't sign another CB. It's just if he can get himself right, he looked injured throughout last season.

Sparkle Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 We may well need wisdom in a central defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it would’ve covered for his aerial defences having Davies in there, but at the top level, you can’t be covering for players decencies. You have to be a proper all rounder.

We’re not at the top level so could cover his deficiencies, hence why he did so well for us. It’ll be tougher at Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of teams will use aerially balls at times, even if it’s not their main style like it’s for the likes of Burnley, palace etc. And that’s not to mention corners, other set pieces, crosses etc. Aerial ability is still important these days, even if hoofball is on the decline.

Everton, not so much. They’ll need to defend set pieces, as do most teams in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attackers closing him and Evans down, trouble ahead ? Naaa received the ball dropped his shoulder, surge from 18 yard box to half way line. Just cruised through them.

Absolutely awesome player from what I’ve seen of him at Southampton, his all round game is excellent and most importantly consistent- definitely ready for the step up the prem. Surely for you to be able to tell us that a player is consistent you would need to be watching them for 90 minutes week in week out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
