As I said before it won't be easy to upgrade on him, the skillset he has is brilliant
Fantastic again even with a yellow from early on

Yeah, in terms of who we need to replace there are quite a few ahead of him.
I know most, if not all, of us have been advocating for a new LCB ... but whoever comes in will have a hard time ousting Davies; as he's been a "revelation" this season as an LCB and he keeps on getting better.
Plus, he's a very likable character.

We need a quality player that can play at least to the same standard and who will take over as Ben fades out in the next couple of years.
He absolutely didn't.
He did early before we got the penalty and they got the red card. Especially on the ball where it’s a noticeable difference from Romero. After the red card sure because Woolwich didn’t do much of anything.
Actually he really did.
There were 3 errors in the first 10 mins (a terrible back pass; a terrible control and having to make a sliding tackle, can't remember the 3rd).
They were obviously targeting him. I would.
Fair play, great pass to pick out Kane in the box for the turn and Son's goal.
BD if played in the correct position in the correct system (for him) will very rarely let you down. What did he cost? A joke amount for how much we get out of him. But if anyone is stupid enough to stick him LB up against a speed merchant on a big pitch then the result is on them, not him.
Sensible bloke, not a big time Charlie. Would prob make a good coach. I'd quite like to see how he'd get on with the yoof, he's a player who has got where he is through hard work and doing the right things. Certainly wasn't born with the ability to waltz past 10 oppo players and then get smashed in the pub afterwards.

The Ben Davies rebirth is one of my favourite storylines in the never ending Spurs Story.
Of course, I'm biased because I'm Welsh, but he's stood up in the last two matches against Woolwich and Dippers.
I know he'll be upgraded in the summer but he's going to be an immense deputy for the Premier League \ CL (if we make it) and a solid first choice for cup matches (including Europa if that's where we end up).

As a fellow Welsh YID it has been brilliant to see this , he's a LCB for us for international duty and i've always wondered why no one has tried him in this position. Great to see rodon get some minutes also last night , when we lost romero before the game I was dreading it , what a solid defensive performance.
Another thought on BD - he picked up a very early yellow last night. Rightly, a professional foul (the sort I'd like to see punished in future with a 10-20 min sin bin, but that's another debate). From then on he didn't commit a single foul that could be deemed anything near a 2nd yellow.
He was part of the Gylfi deal right so not much at all.
And I agree on him probably being a good coach. Either that or a director. He's already the president of a cricket club and just got a degree in business management. He definitely has a future in football once the boots come off.
