So much more comfortable with Lenglet over Davies.
I think the sign of a good player especially defender is one who makes it look easy like they're not really exerting themselves. Maldini had that, S.Ramos had that, Rio Ferdinand, Ledley King, Toby and Jan, Romero and now Lenglet the same that he's classy and a bit effortless when he plays compared to e.g. Ben Davies who is all heart and all action but he is having to play like that because ultimately he's not at the level of some of these other defenders so he has to play out of his skin week in week out.
Once the season is really in full flow I full expect lenglet to be a regular starter and having him and Romero either side of Dier, both ball playing defenders makes a big difference to how we're able to control games.
