We know he can’t defend very well so maybe we should play Townsend at left back and put Davis in midfield |  | | |  |

Yes, let’s drop our second best player from last season because he wasn’t up to the standard of Man City and Liverpool.
Wouldn’t seem knee jerk in the slightest |  |

Nah he just needs some cover. He offered a decent threat against incredible opponents yesterday.
His defensive attributes need work but everyone is learning on the job bar probably Omari. He is the only player who looks incredibly comfortable at this level. |  |

Not yet and hopefully no need to.
He's definitely not had the best starts. But we do need to remember who we've played.
Imo he's weakness is defending against speed. I'm no coach so only KM and his team will know if they can improve this aspect of his game. If they can then he stays in of course as going forwards he will have alot of joy with the forward line we've put together, he just needs to work on his dealings with this tricky and clever wingers and he'll be fine. |  |

Tbf i think he was fantastic against Salah for much of the Liverpool game but caught by a smart tactical change.
He was also fine against Citeh except for one marginal penalty decision.
He'll be OK. |  | | |

So should Davis be dropped or moved into midfield? | |

Among the worst (of some really crappy) takes I've seen so far. | |

He's defended miles better than comments like this suggest. |  |

Just to quote myself, as I've got a couple of down votes - I'm asking the OP as the title says is it time to drop Davis, but the subsequent post says move him into midfield... which isn't being dropped. | |

I knew this was going to come up.
By the way, Leif has certainly been poor in some defensive moments in the opening couple of weeks, but to suggest he should be dropped is ludicrous.
There are things he will need to improve on defensively with the step up, of course there are, but that will come. But what he offers offensively is absolutely crucial, and his understanding of his role in this team is so unique.
Let’s also not forget he has come up against Mo Salah, Savinho and two of the best sides in the world in his first two weeks.
Absolutely vital player for us, and will continue to be so. |  | | |

Don’t be ridiculous | | | |

He gave away a marginal penalty, but should have been awarded a penalty. Maybe, It's not worth focusing on, but there should be much more focus on that terrible decision. MoTD should have offered some comment on it at least. At 3-2, you never know and it would have helped our goal difference. | | | |

Tactical genius shall we drop Morsy to accommodate him in midfield or switch him to goalkeeper? |  |

Davis is a better wing back than he is a full back. I imagine we will play a 5-4-1 a lot this season so he will be in his element.
Davis Johnson wing backs
Greaves O'shea Axel. Centre backs.
That would be my choice. [Post edited 25 Aug 2024 21:52]

This questioning of Davis is simply ridiculous but then so were those on here calling for him to be in Southgate’s squad! Imagine the cry’s for Southgate’s head had he taken him and defensive flaws were encountered in his first game.
Lief has had two great seasons but still has plenty to learn, but learn he will. |  | | |

Seen some stupid posts on here in the last 25 years but this one takes the biscuit. |  |

Sorry, the post of scapegoat is already being filled and we have a first reserve. But Davis is close, so keep on pressing.
So given we have a new midfielder or two and one or two already at the club, which bit of midfield do you want to stick him in?
Jeez. |  | | |
