So much so an attacker is more important than a defender

Hes probably going to have to play at left back v Everton.
I don't think so. I think Royal will play left back. Davies is too important as a centre back when VdV is out.
Royal will probably do a decent job. Probably not as bright as Udogie going forward, but probably good in possession and a solid performance when defending.

Actually had forgotten about Royal, that actually makes me feel a good bit better. Was thinking Dier in the middle with Romero..

He gets so many posts like this every time he plays (well, when we win). It’s almost like he’s…quite good
He's been solid and tbh, he usually is always solid whenever he plays. He's always been reliable and dependable as a squad player.
I think alot of the times he gets stick from everyone and why everyone wants to sell him, is purely because he gets lumped in with the actual ones who need to leave like Dier. This isn't a slight on Dier but he's clearly past it with us and for some reason Davies is always lumped in with him and other underperformers.
Davies has always been a solid 7/10 and you know he always gives it his all even when he's limited in areas of his game. Fully COYS.

All our coaches rated him and all of them played different type of football, I can definitely see it.

More than 7/10 last night. He was a nine. Mom for me. When he is played in the right system with quality players around him he performs. If he is happy to be in reserve for vdv we should keep him.

I think I was one of those.
I've always liked the lad, I just didn't think he had the skillset for this system and would have to move on but he's proved me wrong.
He's been great.
Interesting question. I wonder how many PL players of Davies generation will want the hassle of Management when their bank accounts are full to overflowing ?

There’s not many top premier league players that go on into management and stick with it. If you look at the coaches currently in the premier league. You've got Pep, Arteta, Poch and Kompany who played at the top level. I think premier league players of this and the previous couple of generations don’t need the money like you say, or choose not to bother with the pressure and just go into punditry.

Got a couple of degrees, easily the smartest guy in the squad. And a very good footballer.
Probably more than you would think. Many are addicted to the game and find it hard to let go when their playing careers are over. I doubt Rooney, Gerrard or Lampard really needed the money.

Carragher said he was always going to go into management but when he realised how little time managers get to try and implement their plans, he changed his mind. You can view that two ways. He hasn’t got the courage to give it a go or he has made a sensible choice.
I don’t think Neville would have gone into management but when faced with a chance of a top Spanish club owned by Peter Lim, a business partner with Salford couldn’t turn it down . If he hadn’t known Peter Lim, he would never have been offered the job.
Has admitted that when stood on the touch line with Simeone and the like, he felt out of his depth.
Unai Emery has virtually killed Gerard’s career.
These ex players get chances that no one else would get, then it is up to them.
on another note, how the hell is Michael Beale on the verge of the Sunderland job …poss because Gerrard said he was a great coach.
