dyslexic nam Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I have said it before and I will say it again - Sane must have something against Davies. It is the only explanation why he constantly ignores him when he is in great positions. lamptern, h coach, Unnamed Trialist and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 That is a few great tackles he has made this game - and some in the box.

Did you guys catch the look Mane gave him on the replay when Davies almost scored? He wanted the pass and looked at him disgusted...

That could just be chalked down to an attacking player who's just come back from injury being hungry to get back into the swing of things. Sane on the other hand seems to always choose Davies as a last option and only when it's not a chance to go through on goal. But honestly Davies maybe had a bit of a better angle but Coman is a much better finisher so I understand it in that instance just a shame it wasn't just this once.

I know what you mean, but believe me, Sane does so many wtf's that I'm sure all his teammates think he has something against them. The fact is, his awareness is somewhere between spotty and dismal - if he happens to pick his head up (about 20% of the time), he'll see someone and fixate on passing to that person for the next 5 seconds while he does his dance. By the end of the dance, he's either lost the ball or the person is no longer open. It's frustrating, and in a nutshell, it's why he no longer starts.

Fair enough - and may just be confirmation bias on my part since I am paying particular attention to Davies. But man he seems to get ignored by Sane a lot.

InglewoodJack Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I really do wonder if bringing in Cancelo lit a fire under his ass, of if it’s just a coincidence given that he should be fully recovered from his injury and in full form post World Cup. Read something earlier today about how Bayern has already decided to send Cancelo back once the loan is done, and I know he wasn’t brought in as a Davies replacement, but just goes to show how good he is- they bring in a $90M player, let him bite into AD’s playing time, so he kicks it into first gear and leaves Cancelo in the dust. Best LB in the world. bayern’s route to the champions league title isn’t the hardest one from here on out- Madrid is probably the only team at their level who will move on- City too if they win the second leg against Leipzig, but aside from that, I think that BM is the heavy favourite moving forward. longlugan, johnyb, canadasoccer20 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But man he seems to get ignored by Sane a lot. However, he seems to have a very good chemistry with Musiala, being able to thread passes into the talented young winger. If Hollywood are able to re-up Davies and keep Musiala for a couple of more seasons, that will be a lethal left flank attacking foundation.

I don't think folks realise, I watch in bars in Spain and everyone is in awe, the commentators are too, they laugh about how he handles the rivals; or you have a conversation and he's a god. Everyone has this amazing respect. Like yesterday, Valdano, who has been the smartest football commentator here for 2 decades, though getting older now. He just laughs.

BearcatSA Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 They utilize him to upmost attacking effect in a back four set up where the right back (Stanišić) is more of a stay at home guy. It's more than just the holding mid providing extra cover on the (few) occasions when our guy can't roadrunner back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This allows de ligt to slide further over and cover davies. De ligt is great at running channels so he has a CB who is suited for covering that gap behind him.
