The problem we have is that if you want to make Bale work in your team consistently to where he can be more than a flat track bully then you need a Liverpool style midfield which works ridiculously hard. We haven't built a midfield for that, we also don't play the type of RB which can handle the Bale being the player that is expected to be their cover.
We need to make sure the new manager feels they can make the most of Bale and we need to make sure we have a system which protects the team from his shortcomings. If it were me, I'd go 4-3-3 and have Lo Celso on the right side of that midfield being the one who doubles up with the fallback and allowing Bale to drift inside. As I say though there's a lot of different parts we need to get to function together. I thought Mason finally twigged that he needs to decide between Bale and Dele in my opinion. If we could work a system where they're the two players competing for a spot, we'd be in a healthy position I reckon.
