red card Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Didn't make top 5 but Davies in top 10 for most mentions on twitter for Cdn athletes. Sincy is second for obvious reasons. Obinna, TFC2017, JuicyHam and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Apparently he had a good game today because on reddit, one fan said “Davies is the player we wanted Sanches to be”. It had a lot of likes I only caught 15 mins, but he made a good interception and run during that time Edited February 6, 2020 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched full highlights. He has a cross early in low from the left that was put in on an own goal, 1-1. Later, his run led to a corner that gave Lewandowski the 4-1. He had a play trying to dribble the whole defence in the box. And other attacking plays down the left, crosses. Defending the danger seemed mostly down the other side, though Hoffenheim did have lots of chances and both sides were sloppy defensively (it ended 4-3), with apparently no midfield control. He had his typical plays where he looked apparently beat and came back to cleanly snatch the ball back, he has long quick legs and is quite a clean tackler. An extremely lively game, with goals called back on both sides, crossbars, keeper saves, a bit of a shootout. cronaldo7 and WestHamCanadianinOxford 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the second half. Maybe a compliment to him but I thought Hoffenheim specifically attacked the other side and had success there (neither Pavard nor Boateng had a great game and the new Spanish kid was finding his feet.) I guess the point is that even in a newish position, he was one of the more solid bits of a back line that had its wobbles.

gator Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Davies playing in the top of the table clash in Munich vs RB Leipzig, so far he is doing well according to BBC: https://www.bbc.com/sport/live/football/51435770 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floortom Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Excellent first half..easily one of the best players on the pitch. i haven’t watched his last few matches but he’s playing much higher than he was earlier in the season.

BradMack Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Watching Bayern vs RB right now. Davies is just too quick, whenever he gets in trouble defensively, either his fault or being put there by teamates most of the time, he is just too quick for the attackers and always gets the first touch on the ball and manages to clear it or more often, draw a foul. His feet are just a half second quicker than everyone else on the pitch. Its also amazing how much space he can give attackers, he never needs to get to close and potentially get tied up or caught out, he knows he has the quickness and pace to be able to stay off them a bit.

Yoginess Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 He’s such a good one on one defender (and the positioning is coming along as well). I still wish he could use all his runs in attack but I’m not going to complain if he solidifies a starting position at LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccer.shocker Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Davies was clocked at 34.76km/hr vs Leipzig today. Just insane. https://apple.news/AyfTgYMsJT4yfJAMBi3BvjQ johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floortom Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Definitely had less of an impact in 2nd half but still overall a positive performance. Crazy how he’s become so automatic for Bayern in such a short span. from a concacaf perspective Tyler Adams was pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM3/MM2/MM Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Whoscored had Davies at 7.9, tied with Thiago on Bayern and only behind MOTM CB from Leipzig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baulderdash77 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Every time Davies plays like this cements more and more that he’s Canada’s LB of the present and future. Him and Laryea teamed up gives Canada the best set of FB in CONCACAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowcrash Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Bayern play a 4-3-3 but Davies at LB and Pavard at RB play really high, almost like wing backs when attacking. The mid on their side drops back to cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoa...Laryea needs to do way more for me than to put them in that convo so soon. I get what Davies is doing but Laryea is a part time MLSer at this point. Hopefully he steps up but US has Dest / Yedlin/ Adams and Mexico has a ton of good options like Gallardo too.

Agree with that and also think Davies needs to be in an attacking role for Canada. Bayern is light years ahead of Concacaf competition and Davies would be wasted in a LB role for Canada given how we play and the level of other players on Canadian roster (i.e. way lower than Bayern level).

Was in Toronto for work and a couple Liverpool fans went on about how they're the greatest team in the world for 30 minutes. I said I haven't been watching much epl lately just mainly Bayern because of Davies and they didn't know what i was talking about. I thought wow the bubble is real. I told them keep watching Champions League after Liverpool are eliminated and they'll surely know who Alphonso Davies is by then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
