Unpopular opinion. Davies in his best season was better than Rose in his 5/6 month purple patch. He got more goals and assists for a start.

Shouldn't that be Sessengon if he's worth his salt?

Imagine for a moment if Davies was tasked with attacking and trying to defend what his performance would be like? After all, this is what the chap is tasked with on the other side.If we could find the RB version of Benny the Second, I would be very happy.

I do actually think Ben's attacking ability is slightly underrated. He makes some pretty intelligent runs maybe twice a game and generates good opportunities from it.Imagine for a moment if Davies was tasked with attacking and trying to defend what his performance would be like?

I think Davies is a solid player, did brilliantly for us covering Rose's injury with no rotation. And can is great if we adopt a three-man defence.
But his remit is not the same as Aurier's, Davies isn't allowed to cross the halfway line.

A few years back when he stepped in for Rose under Poch, he did a really great job of linking up with Son on the left. He played a lot higher up then.I do actually think Ben's attacking ability is slightly underrated. He makes some pretty intelligent runs maybe twice a game and generates good opportunities from it.
It's certainly not his primary objective out there though.
You're massively confusing much better with a little bit quicker IMO, as a pure footballer Davies is much better, he just doesn't have enough pace to be a constant attacking threat. Rose had a bit of pace about him to look a threat, but not the footballing ability to actually BE a threat, hence his output ultimately never being any greater than Davies' despite appearing to be more attacking.Danny Rose the player is much better than Davies.
But Danny Rose the sulking, don't give a F, malcontent is much worse.
Considering the second player is all we got recently and all we are likely to get then Davies is the better option right now but Rose is and was a much, much better footballer when he cared.
He had one period when he was absolute class. For about 6 months before his famous interview i thought he was the best left back in the league and one of the best in Europe.Danny Rose was the most overrated fucking footballer to pull on the shirt IMO.
Well you'd be wrong (in my view)Danny Rose was the most overrated fucking footballer to pull on the shirt IMO.
I mean, Rose was a constant threat, caused wingers and full backs to be pinned back, allowing more space across the pitch and was voted in the TOTS two years in a row, voted by his peers.
Better output, sure. But Dembele didn't even have a better output than Josh Onomah in the 16/17 season.
Ben Davies in general is an unpopular opinion and that's a shame. He's pretty solid for the most part.
In his best ever form defensively but not as effective going forward.
Glad we have him tied down 'til 2024.

His pace was overstated as well tbf, by association with Walker.
