Player Watch Player Watch: Ben Davies

[southlondonyiddo]

Pleased when we signed him from Swansea

Have been completely underwhelmed ever since. Couldn’t believe how slow he was. Never got any quicker!

 

[poc]

he seems generally liked in here but I just don’t like him playing for us just a very limited average defender for me ? tbh I really wanted him gone this summer.

 

[bubble07]

Just trying to pick which was the worst cameo. This guy today or winks v Everton

 

[FinnYid]

He is good enough left back and can somewhat cope more centrally on back three, but getting him in as center half on back four when we were 1 down and were getting hammered even before red was disaster waiting to happen. Not that there was an alternative.

He is way below the required standard in any position. We should've gotten rid of him years ago.

I will never understand why you would sign a slow defender, especially as a Premier League side. That's always gonna bite you in the ass.

Another player I hope to never have to watch play for Spurs again. Absolutely terrible. Bad defender, even worse going forward.

He's every bit as poor as Dele, Winks, Doherty.

He had the lowest passing accuracy of any player we put on the pitch today & was over 13 percentage points worse than any other defender.

For me one of the worst things about him is his passing. Just horrible, even the simplest of passes are no guarantee. You’d think he could do that, given we know he can’t run and can’t do just about anything else. We’ve got what feels like a handful of players who can’t even get the basics right.

 

[DiamondLites]

Caught out for the first goal, then stopped a certain goal for Romero, and caught too far back for the third. What was he even doing in the box for an attacking corner?

 

[septicsac]

Used to be a time when I was ok with him being a squad player, not first 11, but there for cup matches or europa league, but those days are long gone. He was never the quickest, but by God he is now way too slow for the premier league, Bye Bye.

 

[chrisd2k]

Yeah all this steady Eddie and good squad player crap is just nonsense.

He's neither steady at the back or, well anything other than a liability everywhere he is on the pitch.

I get annoyed at his haircut also so that's the trifecta right there.

How Nuno didn't bring on Sergio with the way Manure lined up with acres of space in behind their wing backs I'll never know.

The problem with that argument also is at some stage you have to play them which is just horrible

Once I was happy to have him play,not any more, his lack of speed is so scary and I am sick of him holding out his right hand before he kicks the ball

 

[spursville]

He plays as if he knows he's not good enough.

 

[Erm33]

His only use was being Bale's mate. That didn't work getting Bale back so therefore no use. Get rid. Should have gone in the summer. Too many of these shitty players are stunting us blooding our promising youngsters who are looking for ways out to get first team football elsewhere.

 

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

He is absolutely terrible and always has been.

This whole steady Ben and consistent Ben tag has always cracked me up.

Yes he’s been consistent. Consistently shit.

 

[mkkid]

He this century Dean Austin , he should always be a back up..

 

[Dirtysanchez6]

Horrendous player !

 

[makeveli]

A scarecrow would be bloody better than him

 

[whenstevewentup]

opposite of a modern day full back , never understood why we signed him in the first place .
