So would you play Davies over Japhet or Rodon in that left centre half position in a three? I get why Wales have to do that out of necessity, but I'm not convinced. I thought Japhet was superb when tucked in alongside the centre halves when Jose first joined. He'd get my vote over Davies, perhaps negating the reason to keep him.
In the left side of a CB 3, I'd play Davies. I think it makes a massive difference to have a left footer in that position. I see Rodon as a guy who can play in any of the 3 CB positions and I see Japh as a RCB who can cover LCB if needed, but isnt suitable for the central CB role just yet.
My main concerns will be with Japh being so injury prone and if Rodon is going to be given more of a chance ahead of the likes of Dier, Sanchez and Toby. I get the feeling that Dier will be the one who is kept.
