Player watch: Danny Rose

[Rethink]

Im really hoping (possibly unrealistically) that he'll back for next Sunday vs Stoke, as ill be taking my daughter to her first Spurs game and Rose is her favourite player **prays**

 

[Kiedis]

Rose "a number of weeks" from full training.

Doesn't sound like a wording one uses if it's a matter of two. Fudge. Maybe back after the international break in march?

 

[Kiedis]

[insert dr. Evil meme]

One million weeks.

 

[GioW]

This is shit. Without wanting to sound over dramatic I think our season depends on being able to get back to the 3-5-2 ASAP.

Yeah i'd guess after the break at the earliest.

 

[Blake Griffin]

so the early rumoured time frame of two months that poch dismissed is now looking pretty accurate.

 

[ajspurs]

In respect to Davies supposedly not being able to play at LWB, Alonso isn't exactly the fastest is he?

 

[Lemon]

Big blow. Though I hope this gives Davies a chance to redeem himself, with Poch adjusting our structure to negate his lack of pace.

Attacking acumen is not solely based on speed.

 

[Kiedis]

Wonder who's turn it is to get injured when Rose is back. Eriksen? Dier?

Was always going to be the case. When no date is given, it's always a long one. Huge miss

That's my point though, most people seem to be dismissing Davies as an option straight off the bat and putting N'Koudou ahead of him but surely he could still do a job at LWB.

 

[kaz Hirai]

So even lamela could be back before rose.
Really gonna need that 4:2:3:1 system to really start working for us in an attacking sense now.

I suggest winks continues to play in the two, partnered with dembele or wanyama depending on opponent

 

[stevenurse]

After Jan coming back its not the end of the world as we could use the same system we used at the scum but not ideal and would rely on Wimmer getting his shit together

 

[widmerpool]

Wonder who's turn it is to get injured when Rose is back. Eriksen? Dier?

I don't care who plays next to our Belgian CBs in a three. Dier, Wimmer, CCV, Davies would all be fine. Sissoko? Vorm? Donna Cullen? Why not?

Dier would be the easiest starter to dispense with, by far.

 

[dagraham]

Really bad news about Rose. Was hoping he'd be back for the Everton game.

 

[spursfan77]

Very annoying. Seems wecany really be sure about any injury news from the club nowadays. Just have to wait till we see them in the training pics.

Anyway, I'd just play Davies at left wing back. Sure he won't be as effective as Danny Rose but it will keep the shape and in turn get the better out of Eriksen, Dele and Kane.

 

[thefierycamel]

It seemed like he'd be back fairly soon, as in within a week or so but now they have no idea. Wtf is up with our medical staff?

 

[nedley]

In respect to Davies supposedly not being able to play at LWB, Alonso isn't exactly the fastest is he?

Difference is Alonso doesn't shit himself when he gets the ball.

One of the things that annoys me with Poch, he says its not serious and will be back in 2 weeks and now he is out for "weeks" so by time he is back he may have been out 6-8 weeks...

It doesn't change anything if Poch is upfront with these injuries - IE he is still out the same time but it sets realistic goals. Maybe Poch was being honest and things have changed, but it seems to happen too often hence my criticism this time round.
