Mind games with Bale?Poch said in the post match presser that he did not expect Ben to be 100% recouped for Tuesday
Much respect to Big Ben Davies
Aye...
Gonna be thoroughly dissapointed for him if he doesn't get the nod on Wednesday.
Play Davies and drop Alli for Rose.
When the other team puts 10 in the back you're likely to hit a defender no matter how many times you cross it in.Anyone else frustrated by how often Davies hits the defender when crossing?
Its almost like he has a phobia of trying to beat defenders on the outside.

I don't recall Trippier having the same issue and his if anything slower than Davies.
Besides, Davies hits the defender a lot and not just again WBA; he has an annoying habit of trying to bend crosses around defenders.
Hate to sound harsh on KT but take away those crosses and there aint too much there. BD is a damn good LB regardless.
Also pretty sure BDs goal involvement was pretty damn solid between end of last season, pre and early this season too.
A lot of football fans are fickle and have the memory of a goldfish. As long as Rose was out injured Ben was world class, but the moment Rose came back into selection everything Ben had done in the past 9 months, every improvement, every step forward in his game (his forward play, his speed, his strength etc) was forgotten since Rose is the "obvious starter". Despite Ben Davies putting in great shifts against teams like Liverpool, Dortmund and fucking Real Madrid.Have I been watching something else, having a discussion with another 'Supporter' and he says Davies has been tripe, am I the only won that thinks he's been one of our best this season? Or am I seeing something completely different? He's scored, he's assisted, been pretty creative & very good defensively.
'But buttt he's not as fast as Rose so he's shit like Kane ain't as fast as Neymar so he shit too'
Complete new generation of Fifa fan their for you

Seemingly multiple people playing the same position cannot be good at the same time. There always has to be a clear good player and a clear bench player/shit player.
Ben Davies is a fucking great LB who can also function as a fullback, wingback and centerback. If I were a football manager I'd kill to have someone like him in my team.
But you know, Danny Rose is back so I guess Ben can fuck off or something to some of these people
