I think Karius called them "concussions", how's Karius by the way?

I enjoy them more when they actually go in, but it was a decent effort.

Karius is fine. What about Sissoko? Has he finished changing that imaginary light bulb in Spurs penalty box?

morespurs is wrong as usual. It was Ramos who concussed Karius. Pretty sure Bale was not playing for Spurs then.

Kloppison embarrassing himself again.

Won't comment on his performance as I didn't watch the game, but not sure using a single free kick is enough evidence to show him getting back to his best.

I'm sure Beckham can still hit a decent free kick, doesn't mean much.

It's deja vu from United fans with Alexis Sanchez and Chelsea fans with Fernando Torres, everytime they do something decent the fans wonder if it's a sign they are close to becoming a world class player again.

So, you didn't see the game but you felt the need to make a comment and even describe it as it "doesn't mean much"?

It meant we got the opening goal from it, so you're wrong

"Bale's 40 yard freekick that the keeper saved" trophy. Well done lads

Well it was a better free kick than Kane has taken in all his 8 years playing at spurs.

There are signs of confidence there. It's like in the other game when he had that bit of skill to get past the defenders. Whether he can keep improving we'll have to see, and he may not be able to do all the defensive duties that Jose wants, but even if all he is is an impact sub then if can make an impact more times than not, he'll be worth it.

was not expecting it to be that good at all. He was terrible all game bar the free kick as well.

posted on 11/12/20

It was a great free kick, and Bale deserved a goal for it, he absolutely made the goal with a fantastic free kick. He did not even get an assist, which is criminal.

Bales kinda suffers from people comparing him to the disgustingly high standards he set at spurs before he left, and during his peak years at Madrid.
He was unplayable then. Simply a monster.
What I don't get is why isn't he like ibra, Messi, Ronaldo etc and still at a high level, even if age has played a part?
Did he have some crazy injury I don't know about as I don't get the drop off? Did he just sit stale in the stands and fall out of love with football at Madrid or is there another factor?

Firstly I think those 3 are better players than Bale. Secondly, he hasn't played much football in the past few seasons so that would affect how good he looks I'd have thought. Still a chance he can get back to a good standard with more time.

The reason he was so great in the first place was his freak level athleticism, he was always going to decline pretty badly once injuries/age took that away.

It should come as no surprise to anyone with even basic level football knowledge.

True, but he is probably a good enough player to adapt his game so that he can still change games and score goals.

Shearer did it when an injury caused him to lose his pace and athleticism. Giggs also when he lost his pace. I'm sure there are many more examples.

Well I agree he was a freak athlete but still going from a guy that scored one of the best goals I've seen in a final a few years back to barely getting minutes is a pretty big decline. I just didn't know if there were other factors. Rooney I always said would have a rapid decline but bale isn't one I expected to happen. He still looks fit physically and as brother said I'd expect him to adapt and still be a problem for teams even if he is a bit slower. Bales 31 that's hardly an age where players that naturally gifted drop that many levels.

If you watch Bale, his technique is silky. His awareness and touch and link up with players is lovely. Its the sort of skill set that needs a little bit of time to get up to match speed, but also for others to get on the same wave length as him

I would say he has all the technique and vision of Kane and probably still more pace and skills so he defo should be able to make a very decent impact in the team....even if he's like NDombele and only ever lasts 60-70 muinutes.
