The full back whisperer has done it again!!

Davies is in cracking form. Rose wanted competition for places....the gauntlet's been thrown Danny boy

Never thought he was capable of this level and thats coming from sumbody who was happy when we signed him. The boy has incredible stamina and he pops up everywhere. Pressing up high with kane numerous times, he was even there on the damn penalty spot shouting for the ball for the 3rd goal!!!
Really chuffed for the lad because at one point he was really up against it and clearly very very low on confidence.

I think Davies always showed, from day 1, good technique and a good pass. His lack of pace and ropey positioning stood out but he has addressed the latter and this remedies the former too against all but the fastest opponents. He has also improved his mentality, he's far more assertive and willing in attacking areas, while his crossing has visibly improved too.

I won't get carried away, but I will point out that at 24, the ages Davies currently is, almost all of us bar a few thought Danny Rose was nowhere near good enough for the squad and would've driven him to Sunderland.

Been absolutely brilliant over the last few weeks and is starting to put rose to the back of our minds. Which makes me pretty certain that we will bring in sessegnon and sell rose next summer.

he reads and thinks the game so well, allows him to anticipate how play is going to unfold. He's quietly turning into one of the best lb's in the league.

I love Rose, but it did sting a little with his comments. Tell you what though, I didn't see davies stepping up and doing what he has done. He's been fantastic and even though I do prefer Rose he's gotta hell of a job to replace davies on his current form. Well done fella

Upsets me a little that he’s the only player in our team that doesn’t have a song

About a year ago I wrote somewhere on this forum that Davies was over rated and I didn't even rate enough to be back up for Rose. I seriously thought he was a blemish on our talented squad and wanted him gone. How wrong have I been proven to be. He has improved and lifted his game so much so that I am now considering that that Rose should be back up
