Why the feck do defenders just stare at Bale ? Get close to him ffs
Good goal though
Bale has used that very same tactic of cutting in from the right and unleashing a screamer so often, you'd think these useless twats would have learnt by now how to nullify this one trick pony.
I watch very little spud matches (read - none at all) so have no idea really, but apparently he is predominately left footed and hopeless with the right? If so, then players should be able to nullify him by making sure he can't cut inside and keeping him on their left
No idea what that number 31 (is it?) was doing in that gif. Completely the wrong thing it would seem, plus seemed to have a little jig to go along with his half arsed attempt at intercepting Bale
all you have to do with bale is push him onto his right foot and dont back off allowing him to cut inside to his left and he wont do anything or play a sucididal high line where he runs through like walcott.
So you just need to keep Bale on his right foot? Fair enough. But that means Bale just needs to get the ball on his left foot. What's more likely - Bale being able to get the ball on his left foot or the defender keeping it on his right? If Bale's on form then he's impossible to defend against.
He's an absolute chimp but he's pretty damn awesome tbh. He could become scary good.
It's easier said than done, some players are just freaks who become adept at doing the same predictable thing over and over (Henry's mini combers anyone?). Bale is a tank and that little cut inside to gain half a yard is all he needs because no one is going to catch him.
However goals like the one against West Ham can be stopped if someone actually bothers to go out to him.
True, he does that movement onto his left foot so quickly it's really hard to stop him. Moreover, if try too hard to force him onto the right I think he's more than good enough to go down that side and put in a cross with the outside of his left foot. He's much more than a one trick pony, he genuinely is a world class player, although not near the standard of Ronaldo or Messi.
Napoli want AVB apparently.
Although, having said that, I'm not sure it's totally convincing saying that De Laurentiis had made contact over him - given the quote is 'yes'.
easy. just like that. shame all those professional football managers don't read goonersweb.
Of course they don't, the only sensible poster on here is a fuckin Liverpool supporter.
