Who’d have ever thought we’d be hoping for Gentle Ben to come back and save our season, eh?
Azpillcueta may be better but I would say “much better”. Anyway I was merely saying they had a similar style and are underrated because of their style, not comparing quality.
I would argue Davies would play plenty of games if he played for Chelsea or man Utd
In a rotation but once again not likely a starter. Additionally Chelsea are probably the weakest of that group and have been reported to be in for Chilwell in the Summer so they're looking to upgrade, so not a ringing endorsement. If so many people are disagreeing with me saying that he's an average player I'd like them to explain how he likely wouldn't start at any other team competing for Champions league spots or beyond that. He's a Southampton level starter, not Spurs.
Man U have Shaw as their left back
Chelsea have Alsonso and Emerson
Wolves play with a back 3 and Davies would probably start for them in that position too.
Davies is a better defender than all of those imo and with the role Jose has for him in our side I wouldn’t swap him for any of those.
Can’t believe I not mentioned Arsenal in this, maybe I subconsciously not think they are in the mix for top 6 ? but for argument sake Davies would walk into their team too
Absence and poor form seem to have made some elevate him massively on here. Maybe Mourinho playing more of a disciplined back four will suit but as a wingback he’s very average imo.I'll just agree to disagree. Feel free to look back through the older pages of the thread, plenty of them during the season after he's had a run of games where everyone is saying he's average, not a good enough starter etc. He, Winks (probably not anymore) & Sanchez are the most overrated players on this forum.

Agreed. Man of the match for me. Defensively solid with the great goal line clearance saving is going 2 down. Good going forward as well. Welcome back. To go from no good options at left back 6 weeks ago to Tanganga and Davies now is a real plusSo this thread hasn’t been bumped 4 or so hours after the game finished.
A bit strange.
He saved a goal line shot to prevent us going two down and lasted 90 minutes. Looked solid and dependable.
Good to have him back.
thats Davies for you. you forget he is out there. not a knock in any way, he played well.So this thread hasn’t been bumped 4 or so hours after the game finished.

Totally agree. I think Ben is really underrated. He has his limitations, but he is, for the most part, dependable defensively. Jose will love this. Creating any sort of solidity/consistency in defence will hopefully see us sneak into 4th.thats Davies for you. you forget he is out there. not a knock in any way, he played well.
