Well done Wales

"And showing how it should be done. Excellent qualifying campaign"

So all we need is to produce a world class player like Bale who can beat teams by himself

See if you don't win the league this year Jukey, you'll be wanting Deila to stay because it's not the managers fault, it's just the same guff players, right ?

So Bale want responsible for most of their wins.

He didn't either score the winning goal or set them up?

No he wasn't. They played a fearless, positive brand of football. It took 11 players to win those games including good defending. Bale scores goals, he doesn't win the tackles that need to be own and he doesn't defend the box that needs to be defended. It's disingenuous to say it's all about him

Have Portugal always qualified because they have Ronald's ? No.

You need the right approach to games. Good tactics, good team selection, good formation . Good footballing philosophy and a good manager.

Coleman is a forward thinking manager. Never have I heard him say pre-match how he's sitting up to stop certain players or the opposition.

You know what ? I watched Bosnia v wales last night. Wales were pretty mince tbh. But Serbia didn't man mark bale either. They played their own game. Showed no fear of bale. They kept the ball and therefore stopped Wales through their own ability and positivity.

There's the difference

Don't think the Serbians have managed to get that close to Bale throughout the qualifiers.

Big element of it is because of Bale, he did get a fair few winners and I imagine a lot of the goals scored by others would be in some way due to his influence (dragging other defenders away or distracting them)

He certainly played a massive part in it.

Without Bale there is no way Wales would be in their current position.

To day otherwise is daft

Prove it

He scored both goals away to Andorra to beat them.

He set up one and scored the other two to beat Israel away.

He scored the only goal to beat Belgium.

He scored the winning goal against Cyprus.



Without all of those goals, Wales wouldn't be in the position they're in. I back up my arguments, unlike some
