To be fair, Poch did pretend he was selling him when he called Rose into the office to tell him he was called up for England senior team.

There was no-one for either FB to cross to before Kane came on....
I thought Chadli and Son were getting into good positions. Trippier is such a good crosser of the ball. Rose should take note. I've just been wondering if that's the type of striker we should be looking to sign right about now. A striker with a aerial presence, I think it would give us a different dimension. I think trippier's crossing ability is a lethal weapon but if there's no quality to aim for then there's no point really.

I don't understand why Rose comes in for criticism, he's one of the best left backs at the club.

Rose is probably going to end up like Lennon. They do just enough to keep them in the first team, nothing much else on offer. It must be said that he has improved dramatically over the past 2 seasons. I remember covering my eyes everytime he had the ball...or was that Chiriches? :ROFLMAO:

He is the best full back in the League at getting in great positions in the final third.

Shame he has absolutely no quality in that area whatsoever.

It perplexes me how he hasn't improved on this aspect of his game.

MP made Lennon captain too.
And Kaboul.
It is a good-bye gift, really.

Agree , Rose is massively underrated by Spurs fans .

On the international front for England for Woy , Danny Rose and Keiran Gibbs tend to play similarly to the point of being interchangeable without changing the overall system .

Even more so when you consider he used to play left mid...

I do think he has improved tremendously over the past two seasons. He is solid and pacey. But can sometimes be a little too aggressive in challenges.

It is very interesting watching Rose and Davies battling it out for that position though!
