He barely runs anymore. It’s useless to play him as a pure winger

Hello DaveI'd like to see Bale start for spurs on the left.
I think him and Reguilon on the left would be a handful for most teams. They would provide great width for the team and would be hard to stop.
There have been instances this season where Bale has drifted to the left and has looked dangerous and either provided a good cross or dangerous pass.
I feel like him playing from the right is not working, it narrows the pitch, and him cutting in and trying to get a shot away is far too predictable. He only seems to be dangerous on counter attacks playing from the right.
My team/formation suggestion would be as follows:-
Lloris
Aurier Alderweireld Rodon Reguilon
Hojberg Dier
Moura Son Bale
Kane
On a side note I'd also put Dier back into defensive midfield with Hojberg.
What are peoples thoughts on the above?
Dave
It would work well IMO. We have enough goals in our team with Kane and Son..... we need to create more chances and get some control in midfieldBoth him and Reguilon on the left kindof get in each others way.. Bale on the right works fine and most of his goals comes from the right. Bale's role in the team is to get goals and not sending a hundred crosses into the box
Didn't Jose literally just try this formation against Everton the other day? Lol[FORMATION=343,Lloris,Rodon,Toby,Dier,Aurier,Hojberg,Ndombele,Reguilon,Bale,Kane,Son][/FORMATION]
Just for sh!ts and giggles
It's trash. Literally Mourinho in his dreams right there. Get overrun and hope for a jammy counter attacking goal against the run of play.Didn't Jose literally just try this formation against Everton the other day? Lol
