Plays more games....
I explained why he makes more tackles per game.
He is like Townsend. When you cross to the op, fire the ball like a bullet at the receiver making it difficult to control or tap the ball out to touch for no reason: you make more tackles. His throwins alone are risky.
You don't get it. Making a lot of tackles??? That means HE IS UNDER PRESSURE. SELF INFLICTED.
Managers TARGET OUR WEAK FLANKS. Managers see Townsend and Rose, or Eriksen and Rose and know that is a perfect mix of soft and crazy to take advantage of.
All calling me clueless and you KNOW we get done down the flanks with Rose. Half the time because he's not in the back 4. Wide open.
You really don't get the patterns like I do. The eye catching shit is entertaining but it's not effective. Rose was in the back 4 during our constant cricket scores getting seriously dominated by the top 4.
You saw it when Townsend came on. It's my mantra. I can literally play a video and you won't see it. You refuse to acknowledge Rose switched off mentally. You watch as he moves backwards. Does not press like defenders should. Hell even Kane knows he had to press. Even lost causes like pressuring the keeper on a back pass.
I tell you how it goes down before s goal is kicked. Specifically say who will get beat due to lack of off the ball cover. Toby. I tell you why. Eriksen does not cover. I tell you Jan's expression.
BEFORE THE GAME.
What are we doing right now? What just happened? We lost points down his flank. He didn't press and keystone cops happened. Poor Jan's stomach dropped as he had to fly into walkabout Roses position to stop the cross.
Thank you Lamela. Despite being a nailed on free role player you pressed in our own box, and distributed the ball beautifully to create and finish a sweeping move.
It's the Danny Roses of the team that makes it more risky to play Lamela. Lamela despite being stronger in the tackle than usual recently is still very easy to get past in the prem. Eriksen and Lamela in the same team is risky. It's made even more risky when Jekyll and Hyde Rose is either crushing it or drifting into space.
He hampers players like Lamela, Eriksen and other diminutive players like Prichard and Caroll because cart horse teams can easily deal with Roses crossing and shit through balls and all it takes are a few free kicks snd corners to stuff us in the air.
We can lose to ANYONE with the shambles of a left wing. How Poch thought bringing on Townsend was a good idea...to further tell my fan club that I am right about what fucked this club up as to being a true power?
Well now you all know. We changed the back line and now it's very, very hard to beat us.
No Rose, Lennon, Townsend and Soldado and we HUMILIATED MANCHESTER CITY.
But like I said: You prefer individual entertainment over a team player. Clapping with mouths agape as Rose bravley fights on after shooting himself in the foot. Bandaged up after injuring himself, sliding into a tackle as we are opened up easier than a packet of crisps you cheer the man.
That's why I am different: I ask the question why are we opened up so easily? While you cream over yet another last ditch sliding tackle. I'm asking why are we so wide open in the first place?
Think about it.
Respect what Davies does. be afraid of why Rose is making so many tackles. He should be putting the fear of God into the oppositions box. Not in ours.
Utter nonsense. The way you are talking we should have 100% possession every game. It doesn't work like that. The clue to defender is in the name. There are times when defenders earn their corn. Danny Rose certainly earns his. But you want to play him as a winger in front of Davies. Fair enough. You're wrong but you're entitled to your deranged opinions.Plays more games....

So the perfect defender is one who makes no tackles at all?You don't get it. Making a lot of tackles??? That means HE IS UNDER PRESSURE. SELF INFLICTED


A dozen pages of the same thing over and over again. I have gotten involved. I give my opinion and I genuinely enjoy reading others. But this has been overkill and mind numbingly repetitive. I get it Gibbs and Wiki have different opinions. Why not just accept that at this point?
He didn't cost us two points, he saved us one. They are the facts.Fair enough I will.
Me defending Davies resulted in a massive famous drubbing of Msn City. Plus we maintained our best defence in the prem record.
Him defending Rose was after a defeat to the scum and 2 lost points against Mocaco.
That's where we stand.
And why would any Spurs fan be so down on one of our best players?We must have the only person in the world that can look at that goal and say Rose is at fault.
I'd say no Spurs fan would, but we're a negative bunch of bastards at the best of times.And why would any Spurs fan be so down on one of our best players?

No no no you fucking prick... It's all to do with the fact that Rose wasn't playing left midfield in front of Davies. Why can't you see that we missed his Rambo movie runs, bandaged hand & chest bursting, fist pumping marauding. Fucking hell dude. Anyone can see this other than you. The lack of passing, shooting or assisting today was all down to Danny Rose. The fact he wasn't playing is frankly irrelevant.So I guess it's only fair to say we dropped two points because Davies played today, right?
Lol, you fucking dunce.
That's what gibbs doesn't understand about football - if you take such an extreme stance - you're bound to look silly after the next game. I doubt he'll answer.No no no you fucking prick...

I can see why some of the newer posters were fooled - but you're just soft mate. I have no sympathy. :llorisserious:Joe,
He will answer. With a load of shit. I stayed out of this for ages- I welcomed Gibbsy back ffs. I had forgotten the pain. But this incessant shite about who is better shows that the people who didn't want to see him back are still right to disagree with what he says. I am thick as fuck compared to some on here, but can someone (other than Gibbsy) tell me how the past 10-15 pages tell anybody that Davies is better than Rose? And please- let's not rely on Gibbsy's HITC stats.![]()
Sorry. I've been made to look a fool on here too frequently by the more experienced lads. My Paulihino call was a spectacular fail. Am I even allowed to give a thumbs up to Rose? I mean, maybe Danny should play as an attacking midfielder ( without ability to pass, cross, shoot, score or create) & all will be good? I'm fucking lost here. Maybe Gibbsy can explain how we didn't beat them today having fielded the same team ( minus Son) that tortured/murdered Citeh last week. Cos they won 6-1 this week &...we drew. The man isn't worth liaising with.I can see why some of the newer posters were fooled - but you're just soft mate. I have no sympathy. :llorisserious:
