Do you think the pressure will be on Bale to perform due to his reputation?
It will be but hes proven to be a big game player throughout his career .... it won’t be a pressure that he, won’t handle or even perhaps relishDo you think the pressure will be on Bale to perform due to his reputation?
I was being diplomatic to my spammers brother in law the other day (yeah i know) by saying, yeah it should be a close game, your'e playing well....He said 'nah...., Bale hatrick'.I know that feeling. I have the same issue.
Oh, you mean football? He has been built up to be the return of the Messiah but I think he should be given some slack. He needs a bit of time to get back to his best. I do have a feeling he will get a goal though.
West ham looked good. They played on the counter. Leicester like keeping the ball but they weren't threatening much.He's going to go for a park the bus smash and grab.
Most managers will feel that way faced with a team of Bale, Kane and Son backed up by Los Celso, Hjoberg and Ndombele.
Did anyone see the Leicester West Ham game? Was it a case of Leicester playing bad or did West Ham look good?
If they defend deep I wouldn’t be adverse to seeing Son, Kane and Bale peppering their goal with strikes from outside the boxWest ham looked good. They played on the counter. Leicester like keeping the ball but they weren't threatening much.
West ham got the ball up to Antonio early and just played off him. Biggest change in West ham's fortunes is they've dropped Noble.
Soucek and Rice provide a solid base in midfield for them. Allows their forward players to get up and support Antonio. I fully expect them to do the same against us.
I've always said we struggle most when teams camp. Jose has set us up to be counter attacking. Be interesting to see if he forces west ham to come out by playing deeper.
I've noticed under Jose, we don't take many shots from the edge of the box. We always try to work a better scoring opportunity, often leading to recycling the ball.If they defend deep I wouldn’t be adverse to seeing Son, Kane and Bale peppering their goal with strikes from outside the box
they’re great technicians and I believe a couple beat the keeper
That's fucking desperate if he goes there.
Same here. Really hope it's worth the wait.cant believe I have to wait anohter week yet for this game having waited ages already, thanks to this shitty international break. Pisses me right off.
