I'm reading a lot of love for Rose because of his "attitude". That's great, but a couple of weeks ago I pointed out his constant inability to stop crosses coming in from his side (I remember it because I said it's the one thing Walker does better than him) and he once again stood too far off Bacuna and allowed him to make an easy cross. So I'm loving that you are all appreciating Rose's chippy up and at em approach, but it would be lovely if he hadn't contributed so heavily to the winning goal.
I've never rated Rose as high as some here have. And at the same time I have to admit that at some games he has been great. But what bothers me is that IMO he is too weak defensively and at the same time he is good going forward. I'm starting to think that he is like Bale was. Bale started as LB and at least IMO he was too weak in defending. Then he was "transferred" as LW and started to be more than vital for our attacking game. Perhaps we should do the same with Rose, play him as LM/LW and let Davies do the defending on the left side.
Can I have it?If Rose becomes our left sided midfielder I'll hand back my season ticket, no thanks
No but they aren't good enough. Delph had both of them in his pocket. Bossed them both. Does poch see it ? Or is he happy coz they win all the running in training ?so mason and bentaleb are the new scapegoats then.

His second touch is a sliding tackle.. Also appears to be always tripping over his feet.. Limited is a complimentA few of us knew this from the start and didn't get caught up in the hype. Very limited ability in the DMF position
Him, Lloris or Kane.Rose slowly becoming Player of season.

I must be living in some sort of twighlight zone as I'm sure everyone said Dembele was the worst thing on the planet but now some are saying they don't understand why he's been dropped?
