BALE BENCHED

What's that all about!? I know he hasn't been playing well, but is there any point for the last league game? Surely a niggle?

Hope he doesn't get on so he's fresh for the Wales game

Madrid fans are thick. He's been class. They just think he should be even better. They build up their players then turn against them. They've done it against almost every Brit who's gone to play for them. Their fans have unrealistic expectations.

So he should be. The guy is a disgrace and after seeing him live a few times in a Real shirt (not on a tv) I am of the opinion that he is trying to lower his value deliberately

Thinly veiled I've attended a Real Madrid game look at me look at me

Do you really think Bale would play bad to lower his value? Have you ever thought he might have confidence issues being hounded out by the Spanish fans and media? Heck even Casillias was booed and he's been the longest serving player there, Bale's dream was to play for Real Madrid, the biggest club in world football.

Bearing in mind I go to around 10/15 games per season I think it gives me a better idea then you.

When Real brought Bale then no other club would pay that kind of money for him, he wants out and the only way is to decrease his value.
It maybe hard for welsh fans to accept but I am convinced that this is his reasoning for playing shit in a real shirt and I mean pure shit

Adam, you're being 'deliberate' again and it does you no credit! :roll: :oops:

Bale will stay at Real Madrid and Ronaldo will likely move to give the team more 'freedom' to play to the strengths of other players, including Gareth Bale and James Rodrigues ;)

Bale this season had been inconsistent but still a awesome player

Re: BALE BENCHED

Sun May 24, 2015 8:09 am

Bale's strengths are not being utilised. He thrives on taking the ball deep and running at defenders, thrives on set pieces, thrives on having a free roaming role around the edge of the box. His team mates are rarely passing to him ( because Ronaldinho demands the ball first), takes no free kicks ( because ronaldo demands the ball first), is regimentaly stuck out on the right and rarely gets the ball ( because ronaldo has the free roaming role but has a tendency to drift left on occasion and demands the ball).

It would seem that he is obsolete in any team with ronaldo in it. Bale is a playmaker and when he is not utilised as such, he looks almost ordinary!

Bale has always been the "go to" man for Wales and Spurs, he likes to find himself a bit of space (by dropping off, pulling wide, sitting in the holes between the midfield & defence) and his team mates will always look to give him the ball at the first opportunity, where as in Madrid they completely bypass him. Even when he does eventually get the ball he doesn't look like he has the freedom to be his usual self and get at players and make things happen. Earlier in the season when he was playing his natural game he was being hounded down by the Spanish press as a "ball hog", this has clearly had an effect on his game because now when ever he gets on the ball he either plays a simple 5 yard pass or tries to find Ronaldo with a cross.

One of the reasons Madrid haven't won any thing this season is because of their inability to get the best out of all their top players. Ronaldo is a incredible goalscorer and naturally getting the best out of him gives them a better chance of winning things but by ignoring the likes of Bale, Rodriguez, Benzema to keep Ronaldo's ego happy is hampering their chances of being successful .

I just hope when he turns up for Wales duty he feels the love from the country and wants to rip anyone in his sight a new one !! Viva Gareth Bale !

Which games and how many times did Bale play in those games. There are many on here who have seen him
Play plenty for Wales.

His stats are comparable to Hazard who has had an awesome season.

We are talking about Bale the Wales and Madrid player.

Course stats are comparable else there wouldn't be European golden boot winner or European player of the year.
