It's hard to defend Davies at times. However. two things, passing has improved (most of the time), and without sounding too erotic before breakfast. He has pair of legs on him. However, he does look off the pace of games, when he comes on and starts, maybe it's match sharpness. Indeed, don't see him currently near starting line up when clear of other player injuries excetra.
To me he’s a player that needs regular minutes. Not many midfielders can come on for a few mins end of games and immediately look up to scratch.
People need to remember since our resurgence starting at Chelsea he’s played 90 mins for most of the games. Trusted by both Dunc and Carlo and hasn’t let us down outside of Newcastle but again brought on to a warzone game where there was no time to get up to speed.
I can’t remember which game it was now where he played the deepest midfielder and thought he looked great. Has played there for England too and done well.
I don’t really buy this attacking mid position the staff keep banging on about as to me he’s just a pure centre mid. I’ve said it loads before but I think he’d be a decent right-back as well.
