Player Ben Davies

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

One day when the earth is a burned over mass of volcanic rock and all other signs of life have faded, there will only be Ben Davies standing where the Tottenham Hotspur stadium once was
 
I can count on one hand how many times Ben has let us down in over 11 years and 350 games.

Incredible, considering pace was never a skill of his, to be offering what he did in a team with the defensive approach akin to The Charge of the Light Brigade
Dd you see doku rinse him over and over again tonight. Great seventies but just like with Ange can’t let emotions and sentiment rule what is actually for the best. We have defenders on the books who need game time and developing. If keep goi g to the well with davies we ain’t gonna develop. Time to move him on.

I've seen Udogie put Salah in his pocket. Doesn't mean Salah is washed, does it

what do you mean let us down? hes not ever been good enough for spurs, hes a glaring weak link at top level football and has been for the decade hes been here. you might not think hes let the club down, but hes never been good enough. i actually pity him when i watch him drowning at the top level, hes so out of his depth.

if you see davies in the lineup against a decent side you know we are going to be in serious trouble, thats not good backup.

i dont know what you mean by let us down? theres been plenty of games when hes been at fault for goals and its cost us, its not his fault personally if thats what you mean? its just at a level he cant swim at.

if he ever left spurs in the last decade he would of ended up in the championship, we need better backup, we need standards.
 
Maybe loan him to Wrexham (or whoever) - support him in getting his coaching badges (although doesn’t he have an MA or something in Business or something-or-other?) and then give him a last hurrah so he can get his deserved applause for just being okay and dependable.

Easy for some of us to dislike him because he not lightning fast, etc - but it’s endless MF nonsense and ridiculous strategies that have exposed him. He’s good at organising a defence and he was absolutely fine in those games for Poch where he interchanged with Rose.

1-on-1 defending he’s probably a bit past it now as his legs are gone
