Ben Davies

[dave u]

Just watched his interview and it's just a real feel good story. He looks like he's in a daze about it all, which is as you'd expect as it's been a whirlwind. 

 

I've got a good feeling about this. Feels old school, we used to do this kind of thing all the time.

[dave u]

Imagine if him and Big Nat formed a boss partnership and allowed us to get Hendo and Fab back in midfield and we retained the title.

Proper old school - Dig the black boots...

I like his no nonsense style. 

Hope he wasn't booked for that or the game's gone.

Wonder if we'll give him the start against Brighton, Fabinho's still out.

I doubt either of the new guys will be involved.

 

It's a staggering shame because Brighton would be a good team to start against.

If he plays in black boots that alone should get him in the team.

Fuck me Steve Warnock. And that's all really.

If there's anyone in any doubt we signed Ben Davies as backup to Williams and Phillips and we saw the lad as nothing but an opportunity to buy for nothing and sell for a few million in the summer, you only needed to look at our bench today. I am genuinely surprise he isn't better than those two or perhaps we can't be bothered to get him into our system for half a season, but honestly..... Imagine being behind Rhys Williams. Our ambition as a club reflected in this signing. Winning might be good, but nothing beats profit.

Been here 2 mins and is crocked.

 

Sums us up this season.

He just gets us.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Will fucking Edwards add injury history to his spread sheet please.

[Supremolad]

Again, he was pictured training before the game and yet again he doesnt make even make the bench.

 

It increasingly seems Klopp doesn't fancy this Davies fella. It's a pity because it would have made for a great story (and more points) if the guy had turned out to be brilliant.

Considering what we lose in midfield with Fabinho at the back he may as well get a game.

[Pidge]

I think it's a bit soon, he's had the biggest step up out of any of them. Sounds like a few injury complaints with the rise in intensity and he's not got the quality to demand forcing the issue.

 

Would be good to see him on the bench though. If he does end up leaving immediately, nevermind.

Moneyball

Or maybe he's just there to make up the numbers and sell in the summer at a profit.

Was thinking the same last week. But surely, it would help us get more money for him if we got him on the pitch for a couple starts at least.

[Remmie]

Where has all this stuff about buying him just to flip him in the summer come from? I'm not saying it's wrong but been a rumour from almost day one

[YNWAViking]

Physically he looks pretty weak. No muscles on him. Guessing Klopp and Klopp 2 (the one that looks like Klopp) have put him on some heavy muscle building regime, and it will take some time until we'll see him in action. 

[sir roger]

Please tell me he was injured at the weekend and not actually behind two 12 year old goalkeepers sent by Jim'll Fix It

Why else would we buy him? He's behind Rhys Williams in the packing order. 

[Trumo]

It is looking more and more curious as a signing. He's made the bench a couple of times but Klopp is still opting to use midfielders at the back. It could be that he needs to acclimatise to Klopp's demands in training. It could be that he's been signed to flip in the summer for a few million. To me it's looking more and more likely that he's been signed to fill the homegrown quota in place of Gomez for this season.
