Loved how he was there begging for Kane to square it on our third goal

Davies is statistically better than Rose at attacking. Rose is better statistically at defending than Davies (this years stats should really be ignored until there are more games to aggregate).
Team Whispers: Tottenham (14.09.2017) | FWTV by Football Whispers - Dailymotion
These stats are so shallow. I think they are pretty equal defensively and Rose is slightly better going forward, but Davies has closed that gap this year.
If you ignore the sats for this season (small sample) and base them off last season they still stand up.
It's valid. Davies has come a long ways. Makes me laugh a bit considering Rose has complained about lack of depth and squad strength, when he's been out for almost a year and the "second string" has performed ably in his absence.
With very little time to rest as well mind you.
Ben, for all his faults and his strengths has really put in a quality shift and grown as a player
I agree. I seems to me that Davies regards it as a privilege to play in this Spurs team, whilst Rose thinks Spurs are privileged to have him.
that's a good way of putting it, I agree it does look that way.
It's gonna be interesting what happens when he gets fit.
Or even before, that if Pochettino thinks Davies needs a rest, what option will he take...
Davies has clearly improved and made the most of his opportunity. Makes smart decisions moving forward - seems to make the opposing keeper make a save down low that ends in a deflection once every game now. Still has issues with pace, but his defensive awareness and positioning makes up for most of it.
I still think Rose is better for what this team wants to do, but Davies clearly is no longer a #2 backup, it's a 1A/1B situation similar to how Walker and Trippier were last season and how Trippier and Aurier will be this season.

I had to google this Danny Rose lad. Davies is definitely first in the packing order now
The same as Rose his only weakness is defending in the air, their 2nd was his man (but Rose would have probably done the same).
Getting better with each game. Keep it up Benny boy
Excellent today.
my google search said Danny Rose is a striker at league 2 Mansfield Town
Ben's improvement curve is amazing. He was a bit rusty today to start since he's been rested to handle his knock but got better as the game went. He's grown so much and is such a smart player, making up for not having Rose's overall athleticism by just playing smarter.
Danny who?
Used to feel a bit underwhelmed at seeing Ben's name on the team sheet. Now I'd be disappointed if he wasn't starting.
Turning in to a real class act. Fits into the team perfectly. Great respect for the guy the way he was happy to accept his place as back up and grasp his chance when it finally came. Great professional who seems to appreciate the honour of playing for a top club
