Player Watch: Gareth Bale - Retires

[slartibartfast]

Shouldn't have been subbed the other night imo. The game was won. Get him match fit. Surely he cant still be knackered after 50mins

 

[tototoner]

How about being fit and putting a good shift like he did last week.

It's about consistency now mate.

What makes you say he isn't fit, I think he isn't being used enough and I bet he plays 90 mins in all Wales Euro games.

If Mourinho is basing solely who he selects on what he sees in training then Ledley King would have never played as he never trained for example.

Could make the same call about Dele I guess, it's what players do on the pitch that matters not on the training ground.

Some players are shit trainers and good footballers.

Mourinho is a fucking muppet, why is lucas playing in front of bale yet again. Fucking idiot he is playing the same assholes and expecting different results.utterly deluded

 

[mil1lion]

My original post was about having a more solid industrial midfield to allow us to play a front 3 of Kane son and bale and not have the wide men tracking back as much

That’s fair enough. Its a difficult balance to try and play more expansive without opening ourselves up too much. My concern with Sissoko is that he's so poor right now but maybe regular starts would help him get back to his best.

Meritocracy?

 

[DaleMurphy]

Would’ve liked Bale over Lucas but otherwise happy w the team selection

Reggie back is huge I like him for an assist today

So much wrong in a couple of sentences.

 

[Kirito]

Should have started Bale after the performance on Thursday. Sending the wrong message to the players by leaving him on the bench.

 

[Essex Spur]

Hope he comes on at half time

 

[LeParisien]

At least he’s playing with a bit of spunk. Play him more

 

[yido_number1]

This is much better from bale let's hope he can keep this up!

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Bale has done more in 18 minutes than Son Lamela and Lucas (goal aside) have done the whole match combined

 

[aussiespursguy]

and that is why he needs to play. Class.

 

[NEVILLEB]

Looks the best player on the pitch.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Looks the best player on the pitch.

If only he had the same opportunity to get into this rhythm as the players getting a free pass all winter, might’ve been up to speed far earlier and we’d possibly be having a better season.

 

[tototoner]

Looks the best player on the pitch.

He probably is

 

[Erm33]

Can we put the shit that he's finished to bed now?

He's clearly still got it.

 

[DJS]

You’d hope we just start playing him now and with any luck he’ll consistently prove his worth and we keep him a other year.

Absolutely ridiculous he isn’t starting now.

Great performance.
