I get you´re saying.What’s holding him back from making runs like that 5-6 times a game though? I’m ok with him being an older slower player, but he shows his pace sometimes and it’s frustrating that he doesn’t use it more often.
Id honestly rather him get tired or injured while busting a gut to score for spurs than the shadow of himself we’re currently getting.
I find it hard to believe that he isn’t already fully fit, this is the best we are going to get it seems. . .
Bale said a couple of times that his objective is to be 100% fit for the Euros - which is something I didn´t love to hear, by the way. But it´s December, so I guess we can still give him the benefit of the doubt in relation to his fitness levels. By February-March he should be offering much more to the team - if everything goes well.
Considering how well we are doing without him at the moment (in big games), and how difficult (and long) this season is going to be, I still think having a player like Bale around is a luxury we can afford.
