For years the excuses have been that it’s Ronaldo’s fault he isn’t getting to shine. That his team mates don’t look for him because he isn’t the main man. That he needs to be the focus of the team to be his best. He has everything he could want going for him right now, it is set up perfectly, and he is failing.
Bale is only player being blamed here? Lol are we reading different forums? If anything Benz gets a lot more criticism than Bale does as do the likes of Isco ( even when he is playing well ), Asensio, Kroos etc......
This does not occur, it’s a myth, clearly you don’t read other threads, have a look at the actual game threads, read the threads of Benz, Marco, Isco, Ronaldo when he was here, Toni, Rafa and on and on, Gareth is a “star” in this team, or at least is paid like one, hence he has more responsibility IMO
Does he? Is he? It seems like a lot of the players have refused to learn English so as to be able to communicate with him. Then you have the fact that he is being judged on the strength of an entire season rather than just a couple of games. Add to that he is not even getting every available minute and certain teenagers are undermining him by playing well. A bit hard to succeed when the deck is stacked like this.
Agreed. Every single player has been ripped apart for the past 4-6 weeks. The only people to come out unscathed are the youngsters who have barely seen much playing time until now.
Bale was horrible in the La Decima game. Could have had a hat trick with half decent finishing. If we lost that game he would have been one of the main culprits after Iker...
It's same as Isco scoring after Benzema's brilliant move against Atletico. No goal without neither being at the right place and finishing it no matter how brilliant the build up to it was.
I'm pretty sure @Eddie was being facetious. His own take on my own standard "another anonymous performance by Bale" [when he is actually on sidelines injured]. *maybe you already understood that, not sure*
It was better when this guy was injured, at least we had the illusions that he could hypothetically carry the team. Unfortunately, Bale is simply not good enough to be the #1 option on a team like Madrid.
For how poor bale has been this season, he’s still way better than Benzema, vinicius, Asensio and Vazquez. That doesn’t reflect well on them
Benzema is better than him this season but Bale is better than Asensio and Vazquez. The Vinicious comparison isn't fair because he barely played for us.
Based on his status on the team,and I imagine his remuneration, Gareth isn’t better than anyone, they’ve all been ordinary
1066708408232017920 is not a valid tweet idAS: Gareth Bale has scored just 5 goals in the 16 games he has played for Real Madrid this season - one every 253 minutes. He is now getting the minutes he demanded after the Champions League final, but he has not taken advantage of them.
I don 't understand that a player of his quality and impressive athleticism can play that bad. Really confusing and frustrating.
Add to that 8 straight La Liga games without a goal or an assist. How anyone can justify his place in this starting lineup while maintaining a straight face at this point, I'm not sure.
What quality? He takes 2 hours to control a ball, he is a one trick pony, uses his speed to get past a defender. Too bad for him everyone knows this. His shot is his strongest quality.
