He has come under some criticism.
But that tackle was Ledley esq..
I think he is now firmly above Rose in the pecking order.

Proper defender, we're so much better with him and Walker.

Realises that his first job is as a defender. And provides some good width. Unspectacular but that is what you want in a full back.

I though both Walker and Davies were solid today. It was Fazio and Vertonghrn who were the problem. Constantly ball watching and not getting close to Bony.
They did improve second half though.

Didn't think walker was much good but will let him off as only recently came back

----------------------------------------------------------------------Montero would have torn a new one into most fullbacks in the league. Not sure you appreciate the job walker did.

If we'd have had Dier or Naughton today you'd have really noticed the difference.
Walker is a bit rusty but still head and shoulders above those two. Glad to have him back.
I like Davies, very composed and calm with the ball. Corluka-like. I think we will have to assess who we at in front of him though - I don't see him and Eriksen doing it against the top sides.

There is still a place for Rose in the side. Not as first choice, but he's a different option and sometimes you need a bit of energy and dynamism from a fullback

Davies done ok but they were still getting a lot of crosses in from the right.
Walker done fine and is definitely our best option at RB
