Ronald Koeman praises and criticises Tom Davies after Everton's win over Manchester City
RONALD KOEMAN is expecting big things from Everton youngster Tom Davies but claims he is "too quiet on the ball".
Ronald Koeman: The team performance was outstanding
Davies was handed his first Premier League start by interim manager David Unsworth on the final game of last season, a 3-0 win over Norwich.
The 18-year-old has now appeared in Everton's last six games across all competitions and bagged his first senior goal in yesterday's 4-0 demolition of Manchester City.

And Koeman has hailed the form of the England Under-19 international, who picked up the man-of-the-match award for his performance against City.
The Dutchman believes Davies' strength is his aggressiveness but insists he needs to improve on his work on the ball.
Ronald Koeman has high hopes for Tom Davies
"Tom is doing really well," he told Sky Sports. "He is that type of midfield player that we like because he is aggressive.
"Sometimes he is quiet on the ball, sometimes too quiet.
"But he is really comfortable and is playing like he has been playing for a long time in the first team. He is a great young player."
