The idea that Bale still isn't match fit after a month and a half of matches seems suspect. The truth is that he hasn't shown enough in the opportunities he's been given to earn a start, outside of the Brighton match (which earned him a start against West Brom).
Bale has been SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT in regards to his free kicks so far, he hasn't even been close to scoring.

Well I guess the pace will never return. But he still has a lot to offer, definitely needs sharpening though
This. I never understand it when we play park the bus teams that we don’t take more shots from outside the box. In Son/Kane/Bale, we have arguably the best shooters from outside the box in world football so I hope this a tactic moving forward. They’ll make space for each other so one of them can pop one off.We've just played two high pressure games against teams that will attack more than us.
Bale would have been told he would be on the bench until it was safe. He was about to come on Vs City when they were flagging badly but sat back down when Toby got injured.
He's fine. No dount he'll feature more prominantly against the lesser teams as we'll need some one with long range shooting and free kick taking abilities to score past the walls.
Must be tactics from JoseThis. I never understand it when we play park the bus teams that we don’t take more shots from outside the box.
