Davies' confidence must be pretty low with him not seeing much of the pitch as of late and IF he were to take the shot and not score, everybody would say that he was a selfish cunt and should have passed to Mina.

If anything, Mina should have not jumped the gun and run offside. He should have known better.

But as also discussed earlier, I would have taken a point before the game started, so all good.

I agree KOT... Tom did well I thought & in that instance it's down to Mina to ensure he is ready to receive the ball & be onside... if that was Richie or Townsend on the wing they would have shot... but they are natural attackers & Tom is not

..and by the same token Mina is not a striker so it's not surprising he didn't check properly... DCL would have been onside there for sure

Yes, on reflection I think Tom Davies did the right thing - or certainly not the wrong thing, if you know what I mean.   I would give him about a 20% chance of scoring if he'd hit it.  I would only have given DCL about a 40% chance in fact.  But squaring it to Mina gave about a 90% chance of the ball going in.  The only thing wrong was the timing - either of Mina's run or Davies squaring it.

Agree with this, they said the same thing on MoTD last night about Davies's confidence. And yes, Mina should have stayed on, but he's centre back and they just get too excited to think when through on goal.

It stung a bit at the time particularly because when it flashed up on my phone that we'd gone 2-1 up, Chelsea were still drawing, so we looked like we were going top. But Chelsea ended up winning anyway.

I almost brought the roof down when Mina scored ... I yelled so loud my Mrs actually yelled back to shut the fuck up or the neighbours would be complaining... fucking VAR... it's ruining the immediate reaction ... even if it is correct most of the time

It's the speed of thought needed at the elite level. At the point of the pass Lil Tom has to make that judgement in a nanosecond. It has to be a shot. At that point I shout "no!" cause it looked off.
How about Milner though?
