Woolwich and Leeds. We tend to lose against top half teams. They target the right back if Gareth is playing.
Against the better teams we cannot lay the front four we had yesterday. We just get overrun in midfield.

Put him on ignore mate ..life's so much more relaxed!
Everyone was terrible against Woolwich and Bale hardly saw the ball- but I agree he should have gone and got it. Leeds not really that big a game. What are the alternatives- Bergwijn, Moura, Lamela? I know who I would rather trust.
Play Bale regularly and he gets 20-25 goals next season
Should be keeping Bale next year and focussing our main transfer business on the defence and central midfield.
I’m talking off the ball. Against physical, high energy teams he doesn‘t have any presence when we are defending. He leaves his RB on their own and it’s a big problem.
Bale is useful as a starter against teams that we will easily dominate. Against tougher teams it would probably be better to have a player who can run harder. Bale doesn’t run as hard towards our goal as he does towards the opponents.
Well yeah, but if I say Sheffield, nobody sane will think I'm talking about Wednesday or Sheffield FC!
When the quotes came out from him and everyone was losing their shit (for nothing may I add). I said I thought he will stay next season and I still think that.
To be honest, if i was at Madrid, i'd have him back and dump that fat shit Hazard. But they won't do that now it will be too much like a defeat for them.
So i hope he stays here for another year with a new manager who makes proper use of him unlike the last one.

No matter how the new manager would utilize Bale next season, it would surely be worth the investment (£10m in wages). Even if he's just a rotation option banging in goals against the bottom half teams in a low block, that's still something we desperately need.
It's also nice seeing Bale out there in a Spurs shirt.

Hope so!!
Good Bye Bale. It was nice seeing you in Spurs shirt again. We will never forget your beautiful ponytail. Hope you were happy preparing for Euros at Spurs.
Thought his performance when he came on tonight summed him up as the player he is now. Some very good moments, lot of sloppy moments, and glimpses of the player he used to be and also the player he'll never be again, as he clearly doesn't have anything like the pace or running power he did.
Overall I think he's done about as well as can realistically be expected for us. In a better team than us, that has much more of the ball, he'll do well.

Get rid. We need to start afresh not cling on to the past.
Bale considers retiring after Real Madrid return
The Welshman has used his time at Tottenham to prepare for the Euros with Wales. His idea is to play for Real Madrid and then retire from football.

He used us, and I know he scored a few goals, he definitely wasn't worth the outlay in wages (it's scandalous that he earned that much money, albeit we only paid half!)
Isn’t that half we paid still one of the highest wages in PL? It’s amazing how some players can look in the mirror. Ok Maureen didn’t pick him much but ffs how long did he take to get fit. It was t as if he broken bones or ligament injury. His done well in some games and we all thought he was back but then puts in performances like he did v goons and Leeds.
