Ben Davies has to take his chance

Ben Davies has had to be patient at Tottenham and will now get his chance at the weekend for the weekend trip to face our old boys at Hull City.

Ben Davies has to take his chance


Playing for a club where their is competition for your place it's important that when you get your chance that you take it. Ben Davies has been given plenty of midweek opportunity in the UEFA Europa League and the League Cup but he has at times struggled and for the remainder of the time put in competent performances. He has done nothing to put pressure on Danny Rose who is not recognisable as the player of last season.

Rose however suffered an injury against Stoke and is not going to make the game on Sunday. It was always going to be an injury or suspension that gave the Welshman his chance so it is up to him now to put in a performance that makes it difficult for Pochettino to drop him. A run of games is not an option, to be a top player you have to have the mental strength to turn it on immediately. Rose will return unless Davies produces, that's the pressure he is playing with now, so his response will be interesting. On Sunday we will see what he is made of.

That is the level of quality we require at Tottenham, excuses that a player hasn't had a run of games are just that, excuses. Winners don't make excuses, which explains why Adebayor is unreliable and inconsistent unless a contract is due or he has something to prove.
