JuicyHam Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I wonder if he would've been judged as harshly if Bayern had won the match. A big team drops points and their fans usually think everyone on the team played horribly and they need to fire the coach. Now I didn't watch the game but this is just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Glad I watched it. The criticism seems a bit harsh as other have said. He tracked back fairly well defensively (Drew a foul to break up a dangerous play after sprinting back to defend). Made a few good runs into the box - Coman completely missed him on one. A few poor first touches when he first came on. He gave it away a couple of times, but so did a number of others The one thing the critic got right was that he and the LB weren’t effective in the interplay and overlapping runs - and it did look like Davies was the one without a clear idea of what to do. Whether he is in the forward or back position of that combo, he will need to figure that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jith12 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 German news outlet Bild are reporting that Lucas Hernandez picked up an ankle injury this week and will not play against Koln tomorrow. Davies will start in his place. This would be Davies' first competitive start for Bayern. NVsoccer, kobasew19 and johnyb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davies probably won't be starting now, but still possible that we see him come in off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Too bad for Davies, but good to know Bayern are not afraid to start him. Hopefully he gets off the bench again and continues his good start to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzi44 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Shows he's pretty close to the staring XI though! My guess is he could be second choice right after Coman as well. Obinna and Ruffian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Davies and Perisic are both second choice to Coman right now, rather than Perisic being second choice and Davies being third (or vice versa). Davies and Perisic are both backing up, but each give Kovac a different look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came on when Perisic sat last weekend, when Gnabry started. In the week, Gnabry came on, he sat, when Perisic started. I will take that for now. Not today though - all three subs made in the blowout. Edited September 21, 2019 by WestHamCanadianinOxford Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuicyHam Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Alphonso in the golden boy top 40 I'm a little upset that David isn't there considering there are Jupiler pro league players on this list that are not as good as him.

Why, would you automatically place Roman Yaremchuk ahead of Leon Goretzka in a list like this? These two players are having similar success at their clubs as David and Davies are having. Getting playing time for a club like Bayern Munich is a huge success even without scoring at the rate David has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's barely played. David is the most promising attacking prospect in the Belgian league. Actually, not even a prospect. He's a consistent producer.

Obinna Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Don't mind that David is still Europe's best kept secret. Flying under the radar means less outside attention, less outside pressure, and more possibility to keep developing in a positive environment. The only pressure I want on David is pressure from within to get better and keep improving. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 By people's logic David should be a head of half the players on this list. I'm really not digging the Davies vs David energy Obinna, WestHamCanadianinOxford and Bison44 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamrock Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 David is not on the list YET... His rise in 1 season as been nothing more than spectacular but I guess Gent as a club is not regarded very highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is a kid still, so is allowed to be a bit and at least it is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
