Bale need's to be sent back to his roots like Rocky when he lost to Clubber Lang.
He has lost some of that burning desire and hunger.
Yep, exactly what it looks like to me. He's a fantastic player, but it looks like he's playing with his head up his arse at the moment. The sickening thing for me was when he was on the box the other week and the interviewer asked him if Harry had asked him to mix his game up a bit. He replied that it was actually his agent that had encouraged him to drift inside. Blatantly wanting to position him as CR7. As many people have said, start on the left, suss the full back out and then wander inside if it's NOT working. Easy.
