Looks a good player. Only 21 as well.

Had his best game against Everton in a Spurs shirt to date (as did most of the team!). He looked really solid at the back, seemed to communicate well with Verts, and was very tidy in possession.The more I see this lad, the more I don't think he is good enough. He just doesn't seem to have much about him. He is the definition of average. Average at the back. Average going forward. Average crossing. Average pace. Nothing about him excites me. He is not capable of beating his man often enough, and he lacks the pace to get back when we get countered.
I really can't see how he has improved the squad, and he certainly hasn't looked better than Rose this season.
Mugging off McGeady.
Oh that's bollocks. Davies was very impressive on Sunday but it's no reason to mug off Rose. Rose fights hard in games, sometimes he could read the game better but when he's back he dam well fights hard for the ball. As a result he's made some fantastic slide tackles and goal bound blocks this season.You don't see Rose ever showing that much fight. Rose would just back off, put a leg out half heartedly to stop the cross and then moan about the defense.
Was happy when we got him and still think Davies is great, will be top class in another 2-3 years.

If you want to have a look at the stats they're here and certainly don't support what you're saying about Rose. http://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30
Beat me to it LOL.Gibbsy, is that you?!
Gibbsy, is that you?!
I pointed to the stats as a closing point, sue me.Minutes played:
Davies: 198
Rose: 965.
Shock, horror. Rose gets a run of games at left back, has 5 times as many minutes and therefore has a whole 1.2 more tackles a game than Davies! Of course this must mean Rose is a God.
Stats explain fuck all half the time. Do they show how many time Rose gets skinned? How many crosses he lets get past him? How no one beat Davies last weekend?
If you want to go down the whole stats argument, Davies beat Rose in every single category last year. More goals, more accurate crosses, more tackles, twice as many passes, more interceptions. He played more minutes, but you don't seem to care about that. http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/2014...-davies-but-how-does-he-compare-with-danny-r/
Don't give me that sample size bollocks when your initial post was laced with it.
Fair enough, though you're kind of putting words into my mouth there. I don't really know who is better at the moment I just don't like the, what I perceive to be, unjustified stick Rose gets.My original comment was a light hearted one that Davies won a tackle, withstood immense pressure and had the intelligence to get out of the situation.
I don't think Rose would have done this, as he would have been closer to their corner flag, making a completely ill-judged lung busting run for their corner flag to put in a dog shite cross which over-hits everyone.
If you disagree, that's fine, lets not get into a 10 page rant over it. I think Davies is better, you disagree (?).

Oi! Did you call me "sugar plum" recently? I went all gooey.wat a load of bollocks
Rose is one of the feistiest scrappiest cunts in the squad.
why when praising one player do people often deem it necessary to mug off his competition? ochfacepalm:
