Some people don't take their shows off in their house? I think Davies saw how much $$$ Ronaldo was making from Instagram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beaver 2.0 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Not that it is any of my business, and I know they are still teens, but if Davies and Huitema have kids, please for god's sake have them on Canadian soil. #CanadianSoccerRoyalty Edited January 15, 2020 by The Beaver 2.0 JuicyHam, TFC2017 and Unnamed Trialist 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corazon Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Alvaro Odriozola from Real Madrid seems close to joining Bayern.. Not sure if this will have any impact on Alphonso, especially given his performances over recent months. However, Kimmich would likely continue to play in the midfield but it could be possible that they move Lucas Hernandez back in at CB potentially pushing out Alaba.

I follow Bayern and the way Davies is playing, it'll be Hernandez, Alaba and Boateng in the mix for the 2 CB positions. Corazon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would likely be depth behind Pavard, but you never know how these things will go. Hernandez was supposed to be depth for CB and/or challenge Alaba for LB. Now Hernandez is injured, Alaba is at CB and Davies is the starter at LB! Corazon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odriozola is going to have to earn that right back position first and foremost. It's so hard to predict Bayern defense as the whole backline is all over the place. Davies is listed as a winger has become the regular LB. Alaba their previous LB has become one of their starting CB's. Lucas Hernandez more commonly a CB has become their starting RB. Kimmich originally a RB has become an everyday midfielder. Javi Martinez formerly a defensive midfielder for Bilbao and regular CB backup for Bayern has become a starter. Boateng once considered one of the best CB's in the world has been in decline. Sule clearly a starting CB before his long term injury.

Yoginess Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 This stretch has given Davies the opportunity to prove he belongs out there. If he does lose his spot, it's hard to see him not being the first sub off the bench. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to imagine he would slip down the pecking order much further, if at all. The tools Davies has are just insane. Plus he is learning the game all the time. I think that combination will keep him in the team, whether it be full back or winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it’s worth, I know most Bayern fans say he’s been their best defender since he’s been starting, some even claiming him as a top 3 left back out of the big 5 leagues Corazon, johnyb, cronaldo7 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Odriozola is a right back. He is in Munich today and is going on a loaned, in any case, not bought. Reading as.com, they say the deal gives them right back cover, allows Kimmich to play forward, and move Pavard into a CB position with the injuries they have right now. So that deal would not affect Alphonse. CANMNT_SUPERFAN and Norrin Radd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that deal would not affect Alphonse. I think the connection is that with Hernandez moving back to CB, it potentially leaves David Alaba without a position. Although very versatile, he has been Bayern's LB for nearly a decade. So there is a potential conflict. However, like many on here have suggested, Davies has been so good of late that it seems hard to imagine him losing his role. Because Davies has been playing so good they have moved Alaba to CB for the past several months. If it's not Alaba who gets bumped from CB, its either Martinez or Boateng or both.

Thank goodness for Davies good old Canadian attitude. Judging by his social he seems to have endeared himself to a lot of his teammates. also to Alaba’s credit, I really think he took Davies under his wing apbsmith and CANMNT_SUPERFAN 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoginess Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 First time watching Davies with Bayern in a while. 25 minutes in he's looking really good. Had some good run up field with some key passes and obviously making some strong defensive challenges. He's already had a couple times where he's cut in and made a run a several Schalke defenders. Also of note, Bayern are playing 3 at the back and it's accommodating both Davies and Alaba with Phonzy getting a bit further up. johnyb, Corazon, dyslexic nam and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Had another decent game today. I watched most of it and he was his usual self. He has firmly integrated himself in the starting line up at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched 30 mins myself, he played really well with a key pass and a great run that made the commentator happy. Tried to do a little too much though on that run and gave it away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gator Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I watched most of the game, I thought he had a real tidy match, some nice runs and crosses, he always seems to get in good positions to receive the ball and his teammates recognize this, he briefly was playing in a centre forward position which was odd for a left wingback, I think it was encouraged by the manager! One of the best plays he made was a strong recovering run where he won the ball from the attacker, the fans really appreciated that and let out a huge roar! johnyb, NVsoccer and CANMNT_SUPERFAN 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoginess Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Great to see his teammates starting to trust him too, he had some good plays with Perisic. Unfortunately Gnabry is a grade-A dink nozzle, who wants to be the centre of attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANMNT_SUPERFAN Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 As I was walking by a mall, in one cell phone booth, they had a small screen which was airing the game, albeit for a bit in TSN as part of bonus coverage I guess and managed to saw a play from him, where he put in a good run & cross that Lewandowski either mishandled or missed... Can't recall 100 %...... Was a good play whatsoever by our lad !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he good enough offensively to play in the attacking midfield? Was he good enough defensively to play at left-back? Would he forever languish as a tweener that wasn’t good enough to play regularly at either position? Well, I’m here to tell you right now, that when Hansi Flick has a full roster at his disposal, Davies cannot find his way back to the bench."
