Back in 2013, Laudrup did say that he sees Davies as a CB in the future and not as a LB.Said in the euro thread that he was brilliant at centre half and that he might even do a job at defensive midfield for us. Especially as within that role it means he'd have to drop into centre half.
It is no coincidence that most of the players you mentioned have performed better with a run of games.Every deputy gets stick because for some reason many fans think any replacement should immediately be performing to at least the standard of the person they've replaced.
Davies, Trippier, Vorm, Son, Wimmer, Janssen and so on, all expected to be at 100% from the off. Whereas they will be both short of match practice and are, by definition, not as good as the player they're deputising for, so they're always on a hiding to nothing.
Not sure why he did not play over Wimmer against Chelsea. Thought his last outing was one of his best.
Is he not fit?
