      The Importance of Alphonso Davies

      I don't think he has the ball precision of Grimaldo (yet?), the latter is one of their set piece takers has a great cross and shot from long range. He and Frimpong are very different players but shows how a coach can use different skill sets in his system.  Davies is a way better athlete than Grimaldo though and I think can contribute more defensively while doing the things Frimpong does on the other side.

      As some comments observe, the production is especially poor. Then they go over their subjects in a disorganized way. One Nation has that light-hearted banter that works between Andi and Wilson, sometimes a bit silly. Maybe they didn't have time to prep properly.  Not everyone knows who Doneil is, just be rigorous and introduce guests properly.

      And the way they constantly shut down Any Walsh, she accepts it because maybe she doesn't have other options. But it's sexist bravado and big headedness a lot of the time.

      The Importance of Alphonso Davies

      I wonder if he can have a second act as a Grimaldo type player. Wonder how he might do at a club like PSG if they sign him as an LW and if it doesn’t work, they move him back to LB. Relative step down, big club still.

      The Importance of Alphonso Davies

      I agree that there’s that aspect, and also the fact that PSG doesn’t exactly have the lore that Bayern does, but regardless, if you grew up a PSG fan over the last decade, he’s your club icon,  he’s who brought all this glory to your club, and despite all that, he has been trying to leave desperately for years- to the point where the head of state had to meet with him personally to convince him to stay which only delayed his move by a year.   Bayern is a bigger club and Mbappe is a bigger player than Davies, for sure, but with that is also the fact that Davies isn’t the face of Bayern. He’s a young player who shocked the world by how great he was as a teenager, brought glory to the club, faded, then left. I think players of that profile are remembered for the good moments, but there have been so many worse departures and so many worse offenders who got embraced by the club afterwards. If there’s some celebration of this generation of Bayern Munich, on the topic of Davies, I think people will remember “man, what a talent. When he was on, he was the best in the world. Shame he couldn’t be that consistent with us though. But man, what great moments”. I’d be inclined to agree with UT if he was more openly antagonistic with BM. One of my close friends’ entire family continues to pray on Ballou Tabla for the offense of having practiced in a TFC jersey at some point while still with Montreal. That’s the stuff you need to do to truly ruin your reputation. More I think about it, Davies really is Bayern’s PK Subban. Habs dans really soured on him during the contract disputes, the diva behaviour, not a team player, weren’t too heartbroken when he was traded. Now that he’s retired, it’s all different. When him and price came out and did the triple low high five last season, not a dry eye in the crowd. We remember him for his Norris season, that first playoff run, the hit on Marchand, all of that. The rest becomes irrelevant with time just as it will be with Davies.
