True. BUT, he lost the ball and it lead to a goal that lead to a defeat. I’m that moment he was hapless. It’s a poor mistake to make in THAT precise situation. That was a moment for safety first, especially away in a European game.He made a mistake, it happens. He tried to use the ball well, find a good passing option rather than just playing the safe ball back to Lloris.
Playing too many safe and obvious passes is the kind of thing one gets harshly criticised for. Rightly so if true imo. For me a part of that criticism should include the accept for the occasional mistake when trying to be more ambitious on the ball.
It's not something that happens often with Davies. He's a very tidy player that quite regularly tries to play useful forward passes, that accepts getting the ball under a bit of pressure.
I admire a lot of what Davies adds to us, but not that. Especially as our attack didn’t render that error meaningless.
