SpursFlu Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I'm no expert on Bayern Munich but I watched game it was screaming out for Davies. Terrible coaching Obinna and WestHamCanadianinOxford 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 He was nominated for the Golden Boy award with Tuttosport. Right beside De ligt, Donnarumma and the other big guns. Who would have thought that when he was 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he serves us better as an attacking LW, I don't care if Bayern throw gloves on him and put him in net. At least for the next couple of years (until he would maybe be totally reshaped as a LB) what bayern does with him in no way dictates what we should do.

apbsmith Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Maybe it's just me but the progressions in his game in just under a year has been insane, insane in a good way. I know some are calling for a winter transfer window for more mins but if he is going to get 50 appearances across BM as a sub with full 90 min games with the reserves, why change it? Especially with his age and the clear positive progression development being made in his game. I personally would prefer he stays with BM for the remainder of the year. Obviously BM knows best, but I'm hoping we don't see a winter transfer. johnyb, Cheeta, Obinna and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously BM knows best, but I'm hoping we don't see a winter transfer. It seems like one of those rare situations where either option is good. He is either in a top class playing environment and getting some minutes while training with truly world class players or (likely) getting tons of time at a next-tier club still playing in a top league. apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 He had a relatively free role in what I saw as a 4-4 (narrow) -1 -1. Popped up on both sides of the pitch from what I saw. If being hyper-critical, I would say he could he driven into the box more and looking for them to commit and take a penalty.

I would even like David to stay a little while, where he is. We have had so many European nomads over the years. johnyb, apbsmith and Obinna 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear people mentioning 4-4-2 diamond, 4-4-1-1. All i saw was a clear and obvious 4-2-2-2. Fraser and Piette were lined up just in front of the CB's. Arfield and Osorio were just ahead busting their lungs wide and narrow and everything in between. Davies and David parked it a little further up the field making runs and waiting for the through-balls. Laryea (and Miller to a lesser extent) supplied a little more width high up. With any of the middle 4 dropping back and filling the gaps. It was a thing of beauty. Great strategy, can't believe they all bought into that system and played it so well the first time. "Soccer IQ". Also need to mention Herdman knows how to explain what he wants, knows how to sell it, and knows how to instill the belief required. johnyb, baulderdash77 and Obinna 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as if we had everyone taking care of the same job but leaning toward the things they do best where they do it best. So we had Piette deeper and more defensive than Fraser who was further back and more conservative than Arfield and Osorio. But all came back, and all played positive to the proper degree. It all added up to a perfectly complementary midfield. It's still surprised and delighted at how much real soccer we played last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Davies looked so comfortable on the ball yesterday, even when he was double or tripled teamed. At times it looked like he was toying with the US defenders...the way he did in his last MLS season. His best performance in a Canada shirt as a free striker...wonder if that presents another option for Bayern? Could he sub for Lewa? johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly feeling his oats hanging around with the BM guys and their BDE. Edited October 16, 2019 by Lansdude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macksam Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I was a little concerned like others here with regards to his goofing off against Cuba but had a feeling he was going to tighten things up against the Americans, which he did and some.
