Player Watch Player Watch: Ben Davies

[idontgetit]

Calm down on Davies. He's had a poor game (in a poor team) and made at least one howler of a mistake but he's played as a 3rd CB and isn't there for knocking the ball about. Sure give him stick for not being steady in defence today, some of the criticism is out of order though. He's there to defend, that's it, in Mourinho's system.

Anyone else missed Danny Rose tonight? Fucking hell Davies he creates nothing and the lack of pace and dribble is awful to watch

Well at least now Aurier is not in the team the focus will be on how awful Davies actually is.

It’s not though is it, really!

We all know he shouldn’t be first choice if you really want to do anything

At his best he does a decent job.
But he’s been nowhere near his best and his delivery lately has been for the most part horrendous

Come on mate. These people need someone to moan about. I would have said Hoejbjerg had a much worse game but whatever floats their boat.

There's plenty to moan about, just not really sure why Davies would be the target.

He does a decent job most games imo. He's no Danny Rose at his best but is solid. You seem to have a real downer on Spurs at the moment mate. Can't be good for your heart.

It's a predictable system and it's not working.

Davies is the least of our worries.

He does a decent job if you want to play boring predictable football.

 

[RickyVilla]

It's a predictable system and it's not working.

He's not the one who organises the system.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Not good enough and hasn't ever been.

He offers zero threat and has regressed defensively.

Can't believe we aren't actively in for a left back

 

[DiVaio]

Not good enough and hasn't ever been.

He offers zero threat and has regressed defensively.

He created two chances today. Never been good enough? He is good enough even now but in 16/17 and 17/18 he was one of the best offensive output for PL fullbacks

 

[RickyVilla]

He does a decent job if you want to play boring predictable football.

How does a left back make us play boring predictable football? Seriously?

 

[stevensthfc]

He is fine as backup, but shouldn’t be first choice.

What happens when he gets injured?

No assists in 2 years in the prem. He’s bang average always has been.

No he isn't and if you believe that then I don't know what to say.

 

[kaz Hirai]

Sess I believe

 

[RickyVilla]

He is fine as backup, but shouldn’t be first choice.

I am sure that Son can play there.

 

[Mark_147]

He's not the one who organises the system.

He can't play in any other system

 

[Mark_147]

How does a left back make us play boring predictable football? Seriously?

Take a look at the ones who can take on a man and get decent crosses into the box
