Ex-Spurs Player Danny Rose

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

He puts the ball into touch for no reason every game because of his control. His crossing, shooting and passing out of defense is shocking. If he's not giving someone a hospital pass he shoots at them so it's impossible to trap.

Davies is a better crosser, has a better strike and his passing out of defense is sane.

Erm no. I just proved that they are similar like I claimed. Thats why I was confused why you brought it up. Both are unspectacular at it. Davies is just more cultured and less...You know. Mental. Davies is marginally better at passing overall.

Right.. so let's go over this one more time for you, Gibbs. The first two quotes are from your introductory post in this squabble. You brought up their passing. If you're confused, you did it to yourself.

Just so we're very clear, you're confused because you don't really know anything about football, and you layer that lack of knowledge under mad ramblings, contradictions and straw men. But also mainly you're just confused because you're very clearly the classroom dunce.


Yep.
 
Rose is the embodiment of limited. He puts the ball into touch for no reason every game because of his control. His crossing, shooting and passing out of defense is shocking.

I was proved wrong about Rose. But I still maintain he is the last fig leaf of derp we we to remove from our back line. He is a freak athlete who needs to be played further up the pitch because he is more of a maverick than a cultured defender.

Because what we definitely need is a winger whose "crossing, shooting and passing" is "shocking."

My favorite part about debating with you is quoting all the stupid, contradictory/non-nonsensical shit you say. It really makes it so damn easy to make you look like a fool.

Claims he was wrong about Rose to curry favour with the board - spends every minute of his return slaughtering him after saying he supports the players.

Your point about him advocating Rose as a winger is an excellent one - he is doing it only to be able to say he supports Rose when he clearly wants him nowhere near the team. Fucking laughable.
 
No he doesn't - jan was brilliant against everton when rose played and was also probably our man of the match. Every time he has played this year bar one europa game he ha so retry much been MOTM. This is him playing at 75% - let me say that rose has been talked about at the club as being one who will be under th attention of bigger clubs
Hi CLM,
Sure Verts was MOM ag. Everton, but so far Verts is having a superb season...he's top of Squawka's defender rankings...
Players | Stats Rankings Tables | Squawka.com
Last season Rose was 4th in the Squawka rankings on the basis of his attacking performance which is why I made my comment above in relation to the head to head stats...

This season he's only played once in the EPL which is the match you referred to.
I don't have a problem with Danny Rose but, because of his 'attacking tendency' he leaves gaps behind him and in the context of:
A) Poch allowing one of the DMF's (e.g. Mason/Alli/Carroll) to play further forward and
B) None of our left-sided ATMs showing any real propensity to defend (at least for a full 90mins.)
then I can understand that Davies is preferred at the moment.

I don't pretend players can do everything. It's why Eriksen is one of my favorite players but I'm not stupid enough to think he can cover for Rose.

Eriksen has issues with pace, tackling, tracking and pressing. Rose lacks a cerebral approach.

You talking about Roses passing just proves to me that you don't have a clue about him. It's why it confused me when you kept going on about his passing...pundits never praise him because of his passing??? It's all about his athleticism.

All you see are his gut busting runs and sliding tackles and the ACTION. You don't scratch the surface and see everyone playing shit around him. Same went with the scum game. The central defenders had a crisis with Rose next to them. Before Fazio signed I said no matter how good a central defender is, they will have shit form if Rose is next to them.

Before this game I said Jan will have a face like a smacked arse if Rose plays next to him. Was I right?

I don't believe I mentioned his passing. Did you mean to quote Wiki?

Yep.

Before the game when someone suggested Townsend and Eriksen should start:

gibbs131:
"Townsend, Eriksen, Chadli and Carroll...Do you want to wish that on Dier and Toby away from home? You risk smashing their confidence because that is zero cover off the ball."

I predicted what happened to Toby. Hours before kickoff.

What do you do? Laugh about my understanding of a back line that stuffed City 4-1?
 
The last place I was banned from was due to a thread similar to this thread.

It was regarding Townsend, Rose, Naughton, Defoe, Lennon and Soldado.

Apparently I was too repetitive in my insistence that they should be nowhere near the first team. I said overloading the team with tiny dancers like Townsend and Lennon would get AVB sacked.

I also rubbed people up the wrong way suggesting Lennon and Livermore were drunks and a bad influence.

I was proved wrong about Rose. But I still maintain he is the last fig leaf of derp we need to remove from our back line. He is a freak athlete who needs to be played further up the pitch because he is more of a maverick than a cultured defender.

You are overstating everything because I made you look foolish.

You picked a terrible time to point out how limited Davies was. A classic win against the best team in the league. So after that you were stung into lala land.

Davies is an integral part of that back line because he has an understanding with everyone around him. Its just pretty telling that you were saying the same shit a year ago about Kane.


By integral you mean second choice who is currently doing well in the shirt and making a near fully fit rose work for his place. It's good competiton and poch is playing it well.

So far in his Spurs career, rose has started whenever fully fit, which is he currently isn't

The most amusing thing is when you have nothing substantial to respond to my posts with, but somehow you convince yourself it's a good idea to respond anyway.

Keep trying. Your desperation is incredibly entertaining.

Only stating facts. You cant actually argue with that can you? Claiming I know nothing about the game that I predicted...I predicted what would happen. Specifically stated who would be under pressure and demoralized.

You claiming Rose is amazing after a loss and a draw is fitting. Even talking about MOTM for a friken draw speaks volumes.

Doing victory laps for losses and draws is what Rose brings to a back line. Frank Bruno lovable losers complex.

No, Gibbs.. not being able to argue with facts is something you've shown throughout the entirety of this thread -- when you finally tried, you posted a stat comparison that heavily favored Rose. Nice job. I maintain that you're a complete joke.

(essentially this entire forum and the forums across the internet maintain that you're a complete joke)

Go back to your depressing little blog
 
Gibbsy;

Wiki poses a great question there which remains unanswered. Why on Gods green earth would you advocate Rose as a winger if he can't shoot, can't pass & can't cross? Surely these are quite important attributes for such a player? What possible good could come from playing someone who can't score or create scoring chances, in a role that demands those abilities? I really don't get what value such a player would add to the team. You are sounding like a madman
