It's just that Ben Davies went on to play loads of games in the Championship, while Ruben's career over here has been spent three divisions below. Same as Macca I think Ruben is definitely capable of playing higher, just not sure it's as high as Ben Davies managed.
And just like the earlier post, nor should it.

If you factor in the level both sides were at then the naturally the 2009/10 have a significant advantage and built in bias. Plus as you point the 09/10 players have the advantage of finishing their careers to look back on.

Did me Davies was a top end L1 player, with top end Championship dead ball delivery. Ruben is a better player and has more ability in open play IMO.

Although as you know I've been a big fan Ruben's since spotting his talen in the days of the online streams during the pandemic. A very early bandwagoner , you could say, but Maradona would get the nod.
