Ben Davies

Not open for further replies.
I like Enrique but I'm not quite sure Rodgers fancies him long-term. Is he coachable? Enrique seems to do his own thing regardless of what he is told. Carragher also alluded to this on Sky.

No surprise we are linked to LB this summer. I would def keep Enrique for back up and healthy competition. I'm against Betrand signing as I don't see him as a major improvement on Enrique.

I think Enrique was on his way when Rodgers came in and then he eventually won him over. You have to wonder thought whether those original suspicions remain and if Brendan has one eye on his injury record aswell.
 
On a side note Enrique will miss Suarez too. They seemed to have a little understanding down the left flank.
 
I know nothing of Davies but always prefer a full back who defends first than one who attacks first.
 
Is it fair to assume that Ben Davies would be of similar ilk to Steve Finnan with added pace? Reliable, good defender, decent going forward, assertive. God I'm rolling out some clichés this morning. MAKE IT STOP.

Yep, just like Finnan he's a trier, he'll always give 110% and he'll run himself into the ground for the team and happily throw his body on the line.
 
Enrique is excellent .. however there must be doubts about his fitness and Rodgers probably sees him as only competing for LB now. All about strength in depth too - we can not concede 50 goals in the PL again next season.
 
Enrique while a decent LB shouldn't be a starting player in a team challenging for trophies.

Enrique, when he was fit, had the best LB stats in the league .. so yes he is good enough, but will he be fit enough or regain that form.
 
He's not excellent, he's good enough though, certainly to play a part anyway. He can be frustrating at times, he's a solid defender but a bit suspect at cutting out crosses and playing his way out of trouble, his interplay when attacking can be good, but his delivery and decision making can be piss poor. Not bad, not great.
 
I'm not saying he's a bad player, but I find him horrible to watch. Completely brainless in attacking positions.

Anyway it's probably moot anyway because Rodgers is said not to rate him at all, so he'll likely be on his way out soon enough.

Fuck the stats.

Good enough back up...... Agreed
 
Well isn't that selective ! Use them when they suit your purpose but let's ignore them when they don't illustrate your opinion.
Do you honestly believe that a limited Enrique is the best LB in the Premiership? Get your head read lad!
 
Enriques main problems are he's a bit thick and he's more obsessed with making his body look beautiful that preparing it for football hence the injuries

Awwww. You also think he has a beautiful Body?? Thought I was the only one to notice.... ;-)
 
Keep in mind that the majority felt Hodgson was a good steady the Ship sollution...... Not saying I disagree on Davies though.
Hodgson shouldn't have been touched with Oncy limp dick!

Davies is more than a decent solution but Swanseas and So'ton seem to be our preferred victims. Moreno at 18M is not good business imo. Cash flush should never = stupidity.

Did I say that ? Don't put words into my mouth .... lad ! I said his stats are excellent and he is good enough .. and definitely under-rated on 6CM !

Enrique is not underrated here. We simply acknowledge his limitations and are of the opinion that while he is good enough, we need better to win silverware.

Are you kidding me, you make it sound as if Enrique is wank.
Jesus Christ people here do have selective memories. Yes he can be frustrating but I don't see why we can't win the title while having him at lb.
We fucking mounted a challenge with Flanagan at Lb!
 
Johnson is a bigger liability in defence than Enrique. How about we fix that first.
 
Everybody agrees with that.

As for Enrique, he is as wank going forward as Johnson is at defending.

Johnson's wank going forward aswell. Enrique's decision making is hit and miss, as is his crossing, but his link up play the season before last was great at times.

More consistency needed and improved decision making. How does Moreno compare?
 
I know next to fuck all about him Roland, his youtube clips are shite, so we can probably safely assume he's the World's best left back.
Nobody has any glowing reports about him and even Sevilla fans are uninterested. They sold Ivan Rakitic for £16M to Barca who was the mainstay of the team and want £20M from us for a young player with 1 international cap.

Thats taking the piss and we are entertaining them. Aspas + £10M is about as good as we should consider.

I agree, it's certainly coming across like this seasons "Alberto" deal, overpaying for the sake of overpaying.
