Training with elite players is good for him, but I don’t think it would compare with the benefits of battling against Bundesliga-quality teams week in and week out.

Bertuzzi44 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I also support a loan move to another Bundesliga club. From what I've seen of him at Bayern, he plays very safe. Obviously this is good, because mistakes at such a huge club are magnified, but I think he could use a little confidence boost. A loan to a mid-table club could allow him to be a bit more brave and run at defenders more, etc, and then hopefully he would be less tentative and more confident when he returns to Bayern. I'd love to see him use his "absurd pace" at Bayern more often! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, good to hear some unbiased Davies talk for once. I think Davies certainly should be given a bit more time than he has seen. There have been so many times where they have a significant lead and Kovac just puts on Mueller or something. Kovac really doesn't trust youth. If Davies can't earn some good time by November I think a loan would be good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Positionally had a few things to work on but was fantastic going forward & with one on one skills as he deked a number of Bundesliga players out of their jock-straps. We've seen him do that to MLS players and Cubans but this is at a higher level (even if it is the bottom placed team in the table). Perhaps most impressively is that he always kept his team in possession when they were holding on to a lead - some of his more experienced teammates didn't always do the same Kadenge, cronaldo7, youllneverwalkalone and 7 others 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floortom Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 He looked very good going forward - classic Phonzie. He definitely had some defensive lapses and positional issues though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised to see comments like this, but I’ll have to catch the replay for myself I think Mikmado is referencing that he was partly to blame on the first goal Bayern gave up as there was a bit of a mis communication between him and Coman it seems. He also let a couple of crosses through on his side of the field. But there was far more that was positive and to say suggest he was poor is very misleading IMO. I think whatever website that was that ranked him 7.8 (out of 10) got it pretty much right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikmacdo Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 He let a few too many crosses in. The other team was attacking from his side. It wasnt an awful performance but he could have done better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertuzzi44 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Based on his current usage, I doubt he goes on loan in January. He's basically the first (or possibly second with everyone healthy) choice backup to the left side of Bayern's formation. Ruffian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t start, but is close enough to the starting 11 that Kovac trusts him as a sub. That is pretty hugs at a club like Bayern - and it is hard to be disappointed about that kind of a role at his age. I do wonder if his transfer fee creates pressure to find a way to play him rather than loan him but I suspect Bayern are far too pragmatic to be swayed by something like that.

Bdog Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Thought he did well, as mentioned he was partly at fault for the 1st goal but I'd say part of it was on Boateng as well. He probably would have gotten to the wide player before Coman but Coman committed and Davies kind of got pulled out of position. Tough to tell who's actually at fault, seems like a bit of a miscommunication. Obinna and Kadenge 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkuseisLoose Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 He really just doesn’t have the defensive awareness as of now to be a solid left back defensively. Mikmacdo and Kadenge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
