No. I prefer watching a player who's capable of single-handedly destroying an opposition team, as we've seen in many of Bale's recent games. You enjoy your running back against Newcastle though, I'm sure you'll be in for a treat.
Games such as the NLD, where Bale started on the right? remind me how we "destroyed" them on that day - or, if changing the subject has suddenly become tempting, tell me how we were overrun And let me remind you that there's a reason why Poch had little time for Townsend or Chadli, who were passengers when the opposition had the ball
Yeah it's a good job everyone else done really well in the NLD though, eh? They really showed Bale how to chase back and defend. Ah yeah, Chadli and Townsend, players very similar to Gareth Bale.
What's that? Gareth Bale didn't "destroy" the opposition in that game when he started on the right? Or how about the Fulham game a couple of weeks earlier, where Bale started on the right and we were toothless? Or how about the Brighton match at the end of January where he started and we were overrun for 90 minutes by ****ing Brighton Also, would you mind telling the board how it's wrong to compare Bale and Townsend, given the two of them are wingers who look to break into the penalty area and shoot at goal? It might help for the next time a player you keep saying we should sell for nonsensical reasons is picked
Yeah but everyone else was running back against Arsenal though thankfully, plus when Bale went off his replacements ensured we didn't concede another goal because of his lack of defensive attributes... Oh wait. The Fulham game where Bale was heavily involved in our match winning goal? Bale was **** against Brighton, no arguments here on that, though the whole team were and that was back when Bale was being used sparingly. Am I meant to bring up all the games Lo Celso has been poor in to counter this? I think I might start comparing Lamela to Messi in the future. Or Matej Vydra to Harry Kane. Might even do Jagielka with Ramos.
Alderweireld played 270 minutes in the international break. I wonder if that's why he's not in the squad?
No Wilson at all for them whilst Saint-Maximin is on the bench. With fear of RCL’ing here, we really shouldn’t be conceding.
I don't think you realise how saying most of the team doing a poor job defending doesn't exonerate Bale from his anonymous display in the NLD Also, were you actually watching the Fulham game? Because claiming the Bale was heavily involved in the match-winning goal is simply not true: Dele played the ball into space for Son to run onto, Son shot, and Toisin stabbed it into his own net - hence the match highlights on our Youtube channel have the title DELE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE What you should be doing in future is being more consistent, for example demand that we bin off Hojbjerg as he always passes sideways and demand we sell Harry Kane as he's always injured, but you're not going to do that are you?
