I think Ben could be a good CB given time and the right coaching as his attitude is spot on
I think he's a pretty damn good at his day-job.... Substantial counter-arguments still lacking on that front too.
Feel free to try and explain the absurd phenomena highlighted in my prev. post.
"Sell all the FBs" = Hysterical (in the non comedic sense).

Only sell them if you’ve got adequate replacements
Imv both Tripps and Ben have a default setting when they receive the ball in our opponents half
Turn round and play the ball back
Sometimes you have to do that but they don’t take on the opposition like Danny does
Someone called him turgid earlier

Hang on the same poster said that about Sissoko so I suppose that narrows it down a bit

With regular game-time under his belt (and the confidence that brings) the Davies I rate highly is/was not shy of attacking (see Rose's full year out) and maintained hi energy levels even though we had no rotation.
Again, though it's this notion that Davies is not good enough to even be #2 anymore which I find thoroughly absurd. Roses (arguable) decline miraculously makes BOTH lesser players? ...It's ludicrous!
Sorry mate but I just can’t recall Davies’s attacking forays down the wing
Without looking, I bet Davies has more assists and goals per game than Danny.
[Insert Brucey giff again.]
...My later point remains.

I guess if you value athleticism and head down momentum it's easy to think Rose and Sissoko are wonderful. Personally I quite like the football thing, so I'm less impressed by either player.
I just wish we had a RB who, occasionally (just for a bit of bloody variety and to keep defenders guessing), looked to take on his man, drop a shoulder, go down the byline. Even if unsuccessful, I'd just like to see it now and again. Just frustrates me so much when Trips/Aurier stop, play it inside, or smash the ball straight into the guy in front of them without even attempting to beat them.
Neither are turgid imv and yes I like players who get forward and take the opposition on
I guess you like players who’s first option is to pass backwards
I just prefer good footballers to bad ones.
Amazing that Trippier had managed to create/produce much more than Sissoko and Rose over the last theee years with all his back passing and whatnot eh?
Which I think says as much about Sissoko and Rose as it does about Trippier.

Wow
And I bet you’ve got the statistics to prove it too
Yeh Sissoko has the same role as Trippier ffs so easily comparable
This from the guy who doesn’t understand the offside rule
lol
Still we’re all eagerly anticipating your match report on Sunday
Trippier has put in 166 crosses in the PL , 2 of which have turned into goals. He has a 3rd PL assist which came through taking a corner.
Sissoko also has 2 assists from open play to his name. Didnt have to lump the ball into the box retardedly over and over again to get those. Our other deeper playing CMs Dier and Winks have zero.
So that’s 166 times at least that Trippier didn’t “just pass back” then
Bazali
?And one if those two assists (of his 5 in 3 years - in the same time Trippier has 13) was a pass to Son while Son was in his own half and still had to run 50 fucking yards to score.
To be fair, it would probably be better if Trippier passed backwards instead of lumping the ball blindly into the box 166 times and get 2 assists.So that’s 166 times at least that Trippier didn’t “just pass back” then
And one if those two assists (of his 5 in 3 years - in the same time Trippier has 13) was a pass to Son while Son was in his own half and still had to run 50 fucking yards to score.
He got 6 assists and 2 goals in 2017/18. Quite sure that's more than Rose has ever managed.

2 goals from 166 crosses
Stunning
At least his crosses stay in the stadium.
