Leif Davis

So Verbruggen with eight.

Um, I have now got two Arsenal defenders, and I made the decision [laughs] that seemed a lot, maybe a bit rogue to a lot of people, to bench one of my Arsenal defenders in favor of playing my old friend Leif Davis.

And that ended up being a bit of a stroke of genius when Davis returned his 14 points.

And actually I was a bit upset in the end, 'cause when I watched back on much of the day, the second of his assists and it bounced back off the, the bar, I thought, "Oh, what could have been," 'cause it would've been a, a lovely thing to have had a brace out of him.

Incredible.

Manchester City, Jules, you've benefited from Gvardiol's points.

Sam, you had Leif Davis's-

Yeah

...

Leif Davis, who, um, you know, he, he doesn't do anything, does he? No.

Um, Davis away to Everton is-

He does.

possession.Yeah.

So like Fataru caused a lot of problems at the weekend and Leif Davis, um, overlapping for Ipswich down that left side.

Um, especially like when, when we're asking Kalili and Mitchell to do so much attacking, um, that can be really damaging and like Ipswich's first goal came from kind of the defense assuming that Leif Davis was offside, maybe falling asleep a little bit, not playing to the whistle.

He puts in a perfect cross and then he was involved in the, in the winning goal as well.

So yeah, if you can, if you can get in behind those, those wing backs and kind of create a, a three V three, then you're probably gonna get a lot of joy.

Um, so I think we are going through that a bit in this first half of the season, and I think we've done quite well to so far have gone unbeaten, and I think, I think it was a good exercise last night actually in that second half in terms of our attacking play, in terms of keeping possession, and keeping on working it and trying to find those spaces, and I think it will be that again really on Saturday.

And, um, I think it's interesting actually with Dibling on that right-hand side for us, if it's Dibling or Johnson or George moves over, um, with Leif Davis, Fripps, which obviously very good attacking-

He's been great, hasn't he? Really good.

Yeah.

Says, "Bench-ing headaches this week.

Konsa, Solly, Stack, Leif Davis, Gross, bench two.

I know logic says play Arsenal but Brighton in some form." I shall skip the question, my friend, um, and proceed.

Um, I probably would bench Leif Davis first and foremost out of that.

It's no, there's no bench-ing Konsa for me.

And in seriousness, I see no reason why Solly wouldn't start, so he'd play.

And so we must press on here.

Leif Davis is one I spoke about, I think, in one of our preseason pods.

He's now up at 6.6 mil.

He's the only one of the three promoted clubs players I could even have thought about looking at.

I do like the Egan option a lot because, again, very benchable.

And, you know, even Leif Davis from Ipswich showing incredible attacking potential there.

But I do feel with Davis, I would bench him most of the time because the Ipswich defence is poor.

And then I would end up benching most of the holes he gets.

The one

to watch is Leif Davis from left-back.

Are you Ipswich's scout or something? Why do you

know

I know it's his job, Liam, but he's bigging them up and it's wrong.

It's his job.

but Leif Davis at Ipswich I think was involved in all three goals I think he scored one and said to her so left back is going to be you know our right sided player right midfielder is going to give us a lot going forward we have to but they're also going to have to track back that's going to be an important an important job so I reckon that's

hopefully Leon Ipswich Osmond let's hope so We're going to give them an eye and they're getting it.

These ones as a watching brief, I think the goals can go either way.

But as a prop, and I think it cashed for Jack a couple of weeks back, Leif Davis said to have a shot on target at plus 480 would be a bet that I would be looking or getting with him in some kind of value to score or assist, to have a shot or something around Leif Davis, because I've been very impressed with what I've seen from him in the first four matches of this Premier League.

Yeah, Jack's putting him up.

Lewis is putting him up as well.
