If you think that Bale and his speed is paramount for defense, then it would be a better idea to sub Marcelo and play Bale as Fullback to chase Williams.
Well obviously the aim was to play conservatively since we were 0-1 up at the time of the sub but yeah i understand some of your points. In the end, we still scored after that (Kroos-to-Casemiro) and closed out the game, so worked out ok. Modric wasn't up to much that match anyway
So was Modric, and he was far more important to what you're trying to do. And he ended up taking both of those guys out anyway.

Really? I don't think he even opened his mouth. Is there video footage to confirm it? To be honest we got the three points so it's not really a big deal, if at all.
Match footage doesn't show anything. We'll have to wait for the behind the scenes stuff to appear but it wouldn't surprise me, as if Ronaldo would gladly leave the pitch.
Ramos is in his underpants lol. I think last team Bilbao lost to at home was Barca in August or something. Very important win yesterday. Pressure on Barca right now.
Vital win. now huge pressure on Barca, maybe Valencia can steal points, also Sevilla away at Atletico.
This only supports my point. It was about the tactics he was trying to implement. The first substitute decision was simply between Modric and Kroos. He chose Kroos, is as simple as that.
