Obinna Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Excellent. One of those rare occurrences in life - like not discussing Milk in the Allistair Johnston thread, or not having a go at each other in the Paton thread.

sebdeserio Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Leaves his man unmarked on a corner and he scores. Had the same thing happen on a free kick last game but Upamecano saved the day. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebdeserio Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Since the goal he's been everywhere seems determined to make up for it. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Went 80-something minutes. Was replaced by Tel as Bayern were looking for the tying goal, which they ultimately got. Just saw McKenna on the Koln bench as well, nice to see. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) Heard he was having an awful game. Subbed off with an 8.3 FOTMob rating, created the most chances of either team and 7 (!!) dribbles.

He dropped signiificantly in the rankings this time around. Considering that the same publication mentioned David as one to watch on a strong run of club form coming into Qatar, I suppose his lack of impact there didn't help in these rankings.

scullion44 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Joao Cancelo to Man City. That's a devastating fullback pairing going forward but more importantly if they give him some minutes at LB maybe Phonzie can finally get some rest once in a while. edit : completely forgot they have Daley Blind as LB now Edited January 30, 2023 by scullion44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Cancelo is a loan and it seems that he had a blow up against Pep in training so he might’ve demanded out and so they sent him as far away as possible, I don’t think it hold bearing on whether they want to keep AD or not. I think he’ll stay there until he forces his way out, if he ever does. Unnamed Trialist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 The Blind signing was to cover for Hernández, injured for the season. Cancelo can play both right and left--I think more on the left for City, often on the right for Portugal. Others know him better, but I think Pep had him play left being a right footer to take advantage of his attacking play. Bayern being archaic does not invert fullbacks, though they used to with wing attackers with Robben for example. Davies, right wing, the day one of his coaches wakes up it is where he'll thrive as an attacking player turning in. costarg and ghostknownunknown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you check the highlight reel, his goals and assists are most often centre or right. A rare exception was the tying goal away to the States. costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebdeserio Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Davies's dribbling is NOWHERE near good enough to be a world class winger. Would love for him to successfully become one but don't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are shortfalls keeping him from being a winger it’s his offensive instincts/decisions and his striking.

jhoops__ Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Phonzie ‘s passing and crosses are not good enough to be an every day winger for a big club. He’s terrific as a LB and should stay there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that gets exponentially more difficult, almost impossible once you're closer to the box and the marking gets tighter between the lines. That's why he's not successful in the free roaming "10" role. YorkRegionFan and sebdeserio 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because he starts his dribbles from his own half where there's much more space. Not every winger is going to be able to dribble in a phone booth like Neymar but Davies has never looked great dribbling in tight spaces when trying to break a team down, which is the type of team he faces 9/10 times.
