LeoH037 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) Sure. But it's Bayern and competition will always be fierce. If he can't be consistently world class/elite then the next player who is (and there'll always be someone lurking) will take his place. That's the reality of being in a mega club.

gator Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Bayern should have no excuse to hold him back now, I wouldn't be surprised if they try to, if they were wise they would have no problem with his release, these things can work both ways, there could be a time where Bayern are obligated to release him and we can afford not to call him!

I can see them saying internally that releasing him now is essentially rewarding him for getting a red, which wouldn’t be a great message to the rest of the team. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I briefly thought the same thing, but I doubt that would materialize. He isn’t the type of player to commit a dangerous foul just to get his own way. I suspect Bayern run a pretty tight ship when it comes to discipline and I doubt they think Phonzie would start some sort of player revolution. I think they will see it for what it is - an error of judgement. NVsoccer, N1ckbr0wn, trc2014 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club Linesman Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 You probably also wouldn’t take a red in the first few minutes of what should have been a tighter game. If he stomped on some opponents ankle in the 87th minute that would be something a little more difficult to defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 The other issue is that it was originally given as a yellow and upgraded to red on VAR. The VAR ref was somewhat overzealous IMO in that I don’t think the yellow was a clear and obvious error but given that Davies got the ball first I doubt his club is going to view this as a deliberate stomp to make sure he plays for Canada. This is all assuming that he wasn’t going to be released to begin with and knew this anyway. johnyb and NVsoccer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floortom Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I thought it was a clear red card but two games seems a bit much Bertuzzi44, johnyb, dyslexic nam and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Two games is way too harsh for a foul that wasn't cynical, malicious and got ball first, but I guess that means he will rested for the CL matches Ivan, king1010, NVsoccer and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Phonzie was absent from the game yesterday due to his red card, but Bayern took a pretty huge step towards winning the title for a 9th time by beating RB Leipzig 1-0. That win gave them a 7 point lead. He will also miss the game against FC Union Berlin on April 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best guess is that Hernandez played well while Davies was suspended in their key win over Red Bull & coach has opted to keep the backline chemistry going. Course, it does mean Hernandez could be tired for the weekend, when Davies still won't be available. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostknownunknown Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 With Musiala being the only other attacking sub available, there’s a chance he gets some minutes on the wing in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 The reality is that Davies hasn’t been as strong this year as he was last year - and Bayern will always have enough depth to ensure competition. They may just want to light a bit of a fire under him to make sure that he doesn’t get complacent. He literally won everything he could in his first year with the club so it is understandable that he might coast a bit. They will want to ensure that he is hungry and competing.

I've heard that people think that his form has dropped, but personally I think expectations of him have changed. No one expected him to come in and do what he did last year. He was an injury replacement that was only supposed to fill in for a couple games, so expectations were low. Expectations are higher now and he's not blowing people away because people now know what he can do. He's not playing much better than he did last year, but I don't think he's playing much worse. Just my opinion though. h coach, Ivan, Club Linesman and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADP10 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Side note: its weird that David and Davies are both facing the same opponent within the same week. Wonder when the last time that’s happened in Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
