You are Mrs PRose has definitely got better this season, and although I like Davis, Danny has the edge in his attacking play - he gives us a width we have missed more recently. I love his never-say-die attitude. Yes, he's not perfect, but then again, who is?
Thought he gave up for their goal, was running back at one point then very clearly dropped to a jog.
Why did I agree? ChickenTonight will be on my case ha ha.Why do I still think Davies is English?
Think it was his only weak moment tbh. Very happy about our left-back situation. Two young British players with loads of potential, but very different players. Couldn't be much better.

Didn't give up but he had to slow down as Welbeck cut back in front of him or give away a dangerous free kick and a get a yellow. In hindsight might have been worth it but I think it'd harsh to criticize him too much for that.Thought he gave up for their goal, was running back at one point then very clearly dropped to a jog.
He should have chopped the cunt in half. On a serious note I think his attacking play today was immense. Defensively very suspect still, but he made the game very exciting & tormented Woolwich down his flank at times. Got to take the rough with the smooth. & Rose was fantastic.Didn't give up but he had to slow down as Welbeck cut back in front of him or give away a dangerous free kick and a get a yellow.

He is either a 8 out of 10 player or a 4 out of 10 player. Hardly ever in between. Saturday the good, tonight the very bad

And it seems like Poch picks him to face the pacey wingers. Would much rather a slower good defender handle the tough pacey/trick ones rather try and fight fire with fireHe's only good when he's going against a RW that he's more athletic than.
Anytime a winger is just as fast and quick, he gets burnt.
Also, if you're going to make a run into the opponents box, you better bust your ass back on defense. Time and time again he's shown jogging back on an opponents goal.
His tackles are usually rash and untimely. I just don't think he has enough of a football brain to make the full transition to LB.

He was 1cm away from making the tackle, he didn't and it was a pen. Some pens are stupid, this one wasn't he had to make the tackle, he would be getting pelters if he stood there and did nothing. Don't see the point in giving him stick or calling for Davies, we have two left backs that on their day are very good. Seen same comments levelled at Davies when he has a poor game.Only the pen was his fault tbh. First goal was nothing to do with him. Last goal it was Bentaleb's job to track Lallana and possibly Dier's (who I thought was great) job to stop Balotelli getting in front. He was sloppy but so was the rest of the team.
Think Davies deserves a shot now though as first choice.
There were defenders in front of Sturridge, perhaps it would have been wiser for Rose to jockey and not lunge. I'll have to watch it again tbh to say whether or not he should have gone for the ball.He was 1cm away from making the tackle, he didn't and it was a pen.
