# Everton: Fans slam Tom Davies for not shooting against Manchester United

**Many Everton fans slammed Tom Davies after he decided to pass instead of shoot late on in their 1-1 draw away at Manchester United.**

The midfielder found himself completely free in the box with a one-on-one opportunity against David de Gea, but decided to [square it to Yerry Mina](https://www.skysports.com/football/manchester-united-vs-everton/446354) instead of going on to shoot for goal himself.

Mina did put the ball in the net but he was ruled offside after a VAR check, meaning that the goal was chalked off and the score remained 1-1.

It was Davies’ chance to make a real impact from off of the substitutes bench, as the 23-year-old failed to really get into the game in his 20-minute cameo, unable to record a single shot, dribble, or key pass ([Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/everton-manchester-united/KsY)).

He only managed seven touches of the ball overall and lost possession three times ([Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/everton-manchester-united/KsY)), meaning that he squandered it roughly every 2.3 touches on average.

**“Davies will be thinking about this on the coach home. I know why he passed as he’s not great in front of goal but he had a big target to aim at.”**
