we play bale in the middle and look weaker on the left

 

[Jordinho]

Oh right comparing bale to ronaldo is realistic then??

Not dissimilar when compared to Ronaldo at the age Bale is now.

 

[Roy1983]

Not watching but I imagine we look toothless out wide and very narrow with everything going through the middle??

 

[Rorschach]

Haven't gone long once that I can remember.

Edit: er..now we have.

 

[Jordinho]

Haven't gone long once that I can remember.

We just did.

Ronaldo is 4 years older. So ronaldo in 2008 was similar to Bale now?? Come on get a grip.

Bentley is doing OK. Keeping it simple.

Bentley is doing OK. Keeping it simple.

Not looks amazing, but not looking atrocious..


Bale making some nice dangerous runs though..

Bale needs to work more on the rolling around and tantrum throwing.

He is not supposed to keep it simple as a winger/wide forward.

Bale is now a year or so older than Ronaldo was when he stepped up from very good to great. I don't expect Bale to become the next Ronaldo, but his stats weren't far behind.

 

[N10 Yiddo]

Why are we playing so many high balls? Bale's our tallest player but he's not that great at heading. We need to keep it on the ground because we keep losing possesion

For Bentley it's exactly what he needs to do in my opinion.

Exactly. Bentley couldn't get past an opponent that was standing still.

 

[VolSpur]

we actually look well spaced to be fair. if anywhere, we're toothless in midfield. Our shape is 4-3-3ish and we just dont seem to be running it like we should do

 

[Hotspur]

For Bentley it's exactly what he needs to do in my opinion.

In my opinion he has to be sold asap. He has no value to the team, even as a backup player.

 

[disc0]

good to have hundredstone back.

Hopefully not during the match though.

Hopefully not during the match though.

Why not?
