Davies is amazing defensively too
Can you guys make more futbol Americas ? Like every 2 days
Davies is touted as one of the best left backs in the world? Lol He's known for being fast, that's about it.
Davies is the best left back in the world right now
Has ten hag seen how many times Davies has rescued us?
I think it's true that he's not the best defensive LB but his recovery speed and his attacking threat certainly makes up for it and lets not forget he's still very young so there's room for improvement
ETH is a mug. He is the same guy who said “ Anfeild is just another stadium” and lads spanked him 7-0 so he learns his football
He's hardly ever dribbled past. Since I've seen him I've never seen anyone dominate him. And if anyone can say differently that's okay. It simply means we don't agree
IMHO… ten Hag was trying to promote the confidence of his player. Unfortunately he didn't realize he didn't need to slight Davies. A better tact would've been to actually RECOGNIZE Davies for his amazing accomplishments and to say Pellistri was looking forward to the challenge and that he believed his player was more than up for it and would succeed.
He just couldn’t say that he had no other RW option because of the Sancho and Antony situations.
Listening to these guys panicking and getting so defensive is hilarious 😂😂😂
FIRST 👉His name is.. 7Hag.
SECOND👉Alfonso has recently beaten Mo Salah in speed 🤏
🛑 GAME OVER 🛑
I see no lie in ETH's statement. It's a tactic every manager uses when trying to exploit a weakness in a very strong team. So the guy on the left talked a lot without saying anything.
Davies has improved as a defender quite a bit. And he plays as an offensive wingback. He can play that position because of his recovery speed. He can create overloads in the final third, and that's his gift. He basically plays as a winger and left back at the same time—hence "wingback."
Ten Haag doing everything in his power to deflect attention from him and his teams own shortcomings
Media trying to be politically correct. Ten Hag is right. Davies is defensively very vulnerable but is good in attack. He is like Trent of liverpool.
the loser calling out opponet's player its just Cringe, mind your own business, i dont see Bayern's Manager calling out you Eric Ten Hag about your tactics, the bald dude not just ruining player's relationship towards the team and making United's team bond fading
Ten hag really surprising in a bad well, how can he look down on Davies
He's just not very smart.
Taken so out of context. ESPN and their football coverage is awful
Alfonso super fast. Not best offensive mover yet. He needs work. No hate, just saying what I see from religiously watching every Bayern game every season including non Bundesliga matches.
