Gareth Bale

[DonAK]

Bale might not have been good this season, but he scored some absolutely vital goals for them last season in the Champions League and Copa.

How forgetful some people can be.

In football, you are only as good as your last game. Madrid fans are amongst the most fickle I've ever encountered, look at the way they treated legends like Raul and Guti

It is perfectly understandable. He was bought for a world record transfer fee and he was the MVP of EPL. Madrid fans were probably expecting somebody who'll be AT LEAST as good as CR7. You always mention those final goals in UCL and Copa Del Ray. He missed plenty of chances in both of those games and we would win anyways in the UCL final and I honestly don't care much about CDR. He's absolutely terrible this season,he isn't scoring,he isn't assisting, he isn't doing jack shit. He's taking the starting place from somebody like Isco or James who most fans would love to start over Bale. You guys are hating on Neymar so much even tho:
1. He was cheaper than Bale
2. He's much younger than Bale
3.He's a better player than Bale
4.He tries harder than Bale; so you should understand.

This guy.

Last year he finished with 22 goals, 19 assists in 44 games.
This year he's on 17 goals, 10 assists in 42 games.

An absolute world of difference. And that's with him still having at least 7 games to go, while looking rather atrocious throughout the season Obv he's dipped off this season for many reasons, just like others in the team, but fuck me aren't you busting your balls over nothing.

CR7 came as the MVP of EPL and so did Bale. Bale came for an even higher price than Ronaldo and since most of Madrid fans are retarded I'm absolutely certain that most of them were expecting that.

Those numbers actually give him more credit than he deserves. Assists notwithstanding, the difference isn't astronomical. And he can still meet or exceed those tallies. But like I said, he's been worse than those figures suggest.

 

[El Gato]

That's the point. But apparently "he isn't scoring, he isn't assisting, he isn't doing jackshit". Come on now... I'm almost sure if key midfielders didn't get injured in winter his and the others' form wouldn't have been as bad as it looked.

Well, Bale never scored 42 goals, grabbed a ballon dor and won the treble(?) before coming here, obvious difference. Yeah, i know it wasnt his last year at United, but he had proven himself well above Bales level.

They didn't even win the double that year no ? CR was playing in the ManU we defeated 2-0 in Roma.. with a header from a 1.69m little dude that will become his biggest nightmare for 4 straight years ^^

 

[El Gato]

That was in 09, not in 08, when a ginger dude scored a screamer and knocked you out

With Benzema missing the game today, Bale needs to cease this chance to finally look good. I can't say I'm too sad when Bale/Benzema miss the game since I get to see a 4-4-2 with Isco,Modrić,Kroos,James MF with Ronaldo at ST.
