Poor on the ball, but he has a tactical defensive knowledge that Rose will never have. Thats what Poch sees and loves.
I think that's fair. Rose needs to cut out the errors he's made since coming back from his injury though to get the prem starts back off of Davies.A big piece of that report is the aerial duels won. Rose can outjump or outmuscle most of his opponents. Davies is a bit weaker in that category. One play against Man C Davies went up for a headed, lost, and his flank was left exposed.
Now I am not saying Rose doesn't leave us exposed, but he does win duels at a better rate.
He absolutely shut down Kone against Everton which says a lot cause Kone is a beast of a man.
Love the comp, but Rose for me every time. He just offers the whole package as I think he is just as strong positionally.
Carrier-bag, last week? He and Trippier both looked shaky but in general i think we have great options at FB on both sides.Fantastic performance but Rose is still the main man. Whens the last time Rose had a bad game, freakishly consistent. Great problems to have!
