Agreed. I would be perfectly okay with swapping Oso in for Tabla. A_Gagne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Tabla is a wing player because his trickiness should mean some crosses and a few shots from the side. It favours his dribble. He has not shown us he's a mid with pace moving the ball around, with vision around him, with back passes, with a bit of pause. He is not fast, more tricky and he is daring with his skill, not his speed. So he cannot be an attacking mid like Scotty, Hoillet, Osorio, our best bets for now. Davies is fast and I think as a 2nd attacker or on either side is more dangerous. But maybe when he gets to Bayern that will change a bit. Depends how they tailor him. We can see Ballou is more cautious and judicious with the ball since he's been at Barça, maybe not so spontaneous, but in control more. So I think it is fair to think Ballou is not starting for our best XI and Davies is up high, and Tabla for now is coming off the bench if needed, like Millar.

(you know the one that the crowd went home in a cab) Davies was standing by the players bench before the game (about 6 feet away from me) and didn't respond to me twice. I am not trying to say anything bad about his character, just saying what happened to me at that certain time. Cheers. BTW all I wanted was to take a picture with him. That's too bad. I met him in Toronto after TFC beat Vancouver 5-2 in the Voyageurs Cup final this year. He was one of the only players willing to take a pic with me, and even signed my Canada jersey. I respect him johnyb and MtlMario 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be good for Barca, but it hasn't been good for us. I would describe his play with Canada as "out-of-sync". Perhaps the Tabla who played with the Impact was "less controlled", but he would have fit in much better in the Canada team, I think. In the Dominica game, he would slow things down when his teammates wanted to play quickly. Maybe there's a way to use those tenancies to our advantage, or maybe he needs to adjust. That's on Herdman to figure out though. Edited November 26, 2018 by Obinna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 We can all hope that Davies gets lots of chances at Bayern pretty quickly, but Robben got 2 and Riberry 1 in Bayern's 5-1 Champios League win over Benefica today. Davies will have to push like crazy to displace one of these guys anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robben has admitted himself he can't play 90 mins 2-3 times in one week anymore and rapports already showing he is taking Davies under his wing. The deeper Bayern's CL run goes.... more clogged the schedule becomes .... and hopefully some minutes for Davies. In my opinion, there is no doubt BM will give Davies his chance, what's to be determined is what he does with his opportunities. Exciting times!

jpg75 Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 I'm not too worried about Davies getting PT. My guess is he'll get on as a sub most games. apbsmith and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoginess Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 If all Davies does is get 15-20 minute run ins this season as a super sub that has to be seen as a win. 4 months ago the debate was whether or not he’d be loaned out remember..

SthMelbRed Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Alphonso said that Bayern told him that he'd be in their first-team plans immediately when they were wooing him. Kovacs and Salihimidzic repeated that a couple of months ago. However, the most telling thing is that, after having seen him train for a week, Kovacs said it again a few days ago. I read that to mean that Alphonso's been mustard in training and they are looking forward to unleashing him come January. I'd be pleased with 10-15 appearances between January and May, mostly from the bench, but with a few starts thrown in. romurra, apbsmith, johnyb and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince193 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 The only thing I worry about is if Kovac gets the sack, the new coach takes a look at this Canadian and is like lol no and Davies doesn't play a minute.

Obinna Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Davies is just so talented. I know it's Bayern Munich, but when I look at what the kid can do, I have no doubt he can play at that level. All he needs to do now is adjust to the pace of the game, and with several weeks of training before January, I have no doubt he'll be ready to start coming off the bench early in the new year.

Yoginess Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 He sure is talented. But so is every other player at Bayern.

Guest Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Bayern have Robben, Ribery, Gnabry, and Coman on the wings. I’m keeping me expectations low, but obviously i want to him exceed them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Man, that is massive. To be honest, I wouldn't have minded a year of Davies being an understudy to Robben for a year. Having said that, if this accelerates Davies' progression into the first team, this will be a generally positive development. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) He usually plays on the right, if fonzie can slowly wmerge with the role that would be amazing Edited December 2, 2018 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
