Ben Davies

[Airfixx]

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.

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

Yet probably the same ilk spend the entire summer bleating about two players for every position, quality in depth and all that jazz.

Son/Lamela seem to suffer from a similar bunch of dickheads too.

These people also seem to not think that people can have different skillsets. Every player playing a position has to have the exact same set of skills and abilities. And speed is apparently the supreme one, if you're a speed demon you are apparently perfect (PAAAACE!).

Obviously trust the gaffer 100% but after Rose performance against Brighton, would have thought Davies for today.

 

[Fattynomates]

Hit them on the counter & rose is much better at that than davies. I like davies & I'm pleased we have him & rose.
Also, it's a big vote of confidence for rose which I am glad to see. The longer we have those 2 rotating the better!
No david sliva....yay!

The old Rose, yes totally agree, the Rose who played against Brighton? no
But I'm hoping he proves me wrong today, Poch knows what he is doing, let's hope Rose puts in a shift, as we all know how good he can be!

 

[VoiceOfThePoshSeats]

Hate him (Ben Davies). Beyond average.

His crossing is awful. Never gets anywhere near our forwards.

 

[Totti]

Another hideously average performance.

 

[Bazali]

Wasn’t great going forward, but if we are relying on our left back for effective forward play when we’ve got Kane, Dele, Eriksen, Son and Sissoko on the pitch, then we have had it.

He was poor going forward but let’s face it he didn’t have much else to do

He just trundled forward hitting hopeful crosses to no one in particular or passing it backwards

Nice lad but not up to it

 

[JPav03]

Haha, fuck, I've really missed the mark. Sorry lads.

It's all good, at least you didn't upload a video singing it like the Liverpool bloke.

 

[GG1882]

If he keeps this up and keeps the mentality he will become captain material depending on how long his stay with us is. I hope it is a long one personally. Love Ben

Noticed him giving Lamela instructions during the celebration of Wanyamas goal as well. Good stuff

 

[OffTheBench]

Good interview with Gentle Ben. Always fun to hear him speaking in Welsh.

I can imagine the "we haven't paid 50 million for a defender" line is a subtle dig at Walker moving to Man City.

Haha he's dreading the brutal extra pre season with Poch & his gang.

 

[The Swellhead Spur]

Annoying to give the penalty away but grew into the game after that, still only 24 and learning the game.

 

[Isaac94]

As said on BT, could of crumbled after that, but turned it around, to put in a solid performance, well done!!

 

[VoiceOfThePoshSeats]

You’ve clearly forgotten about his cross for Kane’s goal against Woolwich. Stupid thing to say.

one decent cross all season

 

[Tottenham Sean]

I've just met Ben's sister at work.nice girl...

Is it too early to tap her up for tickets?

 

[Totti]

Almost certain this guy will get in the PFA TOTY.

Don't think any left back has been as consistent.

 

[ShutUpPatrik]

Ben needs 1 more assist or goal this season to equal Danny Rose's best ever points tally for us (3 goals, 5 assists). Ben is currently on 2 goals and 5 assists.

Will he make it before the season is over?

I'll have to correct myself. Transfermarkt had not updated itself yet when I looked at it. Yesterday was his 6th assist in the league this season

 

[Joe Clash]

He’s absolutely 100% in the tackle and the 50/50’s. I love that. Getting better all the time.

Mrs Perryman I didn’t think it was that funny.

 

[imitationleather]

That there still are fans that don't want Ben at the club is mind boggling. Not on here mind you, but on other forums. Mental, absolutely mental

What forum is that? Woolwich Mania?

 

[Mrs Perryman]

Mrs Perryman I didn’t think it was that funny.

Oops, this is what happens when I post on my phone and watching bake off fixed.
