Shway Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 1 hour ago, toontownman said: You forgot Godinho. There are lots of potential risers too. Chung has had a great season. If he gets a move up he might be in the conversation. If Alastair Johnston continues his early form he might play his way in. Also rumoured we were calling up Aviv Solomon last March, a LB that plays in the Israeli Premier League. Bassong looked promising, hopefully he lands somewhere soon. You're right, I forgot about some of those names. However Godinho has to be low on the RB depth chart now, especially with a guy like Jonhston getting adequate minutes at the same level as the guys ahead of him. 1 hour ago, archer21 said: If Gutierrez and Cordova commit to us, then yes our fullback positions looked pretty solid and somewhat deep.

Right, I forgot he played for us already. He has only played friendlies though so he isn't capped yet correct? Not that I'd expect him to be switching or anything, just checking.

grigorio Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 2 hours ago, Shway said: so it's safe to safe that our fullback positions are good? RB: ZBG, Laryea, Cordova LB: Adekugbe, Gutierrez, All in all, we have many options where we won't need to play Davies at LB. I pray Herdman sees the light. Hasn't Herdman's perspective typically been - would you rather have Davies and Hoilett on the field? Or Davies and Adekugbe. He's seemed to optimize for putting your best 11 players out there period.

He had to a file a one-time switch since he played for ChileU20. So AFAIK he's locked in. archer21, fookisan and johnyb 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I seen what worked when we beat the USA, which was Davies playing nearly as a supporting striker to David with free reign to do whatever. He was dangerous on the right side, cutting in on his left. Kadenge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I know off but I'm confident that it will get ratified. Back then I'd understand choosing Chile but now - I'm sure he'd gladly wear the shirt given the opportunity with 2026 coming up and playing with Davies and David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy shït this is horrible comparison. just because they play the same position doesn’t mean they have the same quality and attributes. Davies started his professional career playing left mid.

Best defender? He’s a quality player that happens to play LB for the worlds top club (arguably). He would be our most quality player on the backline without a doubt but I’m not sure about actually being the best defender by definition. You’ll recall he looked very average playing LB for Canada against the US. I’m still not convinced LB is his best position, it’s just the best position for him at Bayern currently.
