That dagger vs Burnley reminded me of certain ex player who took his talents to South Madrid.
More of that and by all means, make me look like a whiny ho.

You know he actually did have some great touches in the 2nd half…
I hope Lamela, Eriksen and Chadli continue to shoot from outside the box. We all know they're capable of smashing them in from long range. Imagine the space in the box that would create.
If you're still referring to what I said, I didn't say Lamela is world class. I said he had a world class season.
15 goals isn't world class regardless of age.
In 2010-2011 Bale scored 11 goals
2011-2012 Bale scored 12
Is he not world class then?
As a winger, 15 goals in a season is a great achievement.
I think the difference was that he stayed much wider and so wasn't tackling Eriksen for half of the match, and also that Walker will help whoever plays in front of him have a better game. It was encouraging and let's hope it continues to improve.

On what planet is 15 goals and 3 assists a poor return from a 21-year old winger? Who was better at a younger age in that position recently? Messi? We weren't the only club in Europe interested in this kid. That Roma year was just bananas, but with Pochettino running things he's going to become possibly the best RW in the country.15 goals isn't world class regardless of age.

Bale's right foot was a lot better than Bale's faith in his right foot. He wasn't a completely two-footed player of course, but a lot of people criticized Bale as being one-footed without actually watching what he did with that foot. He had excellent control with both.Love the kid, but he is one of the most one footed footballers you will ever see. A top left back will show him down the line with little threat of a cross coming in. Bale was also one footed but could cross the ball with the outside of his boot making him so dangerous. Let's hope he is studying the Bale videos. With Walker back it will be interesting to see how the two work.

The most one footed player I've seen is Maradona...
Ha, the you tube one had a bloody great advert at the beginning, otherwise I'd have put it up.Shame on you Joe, that clip can only be shown with Victor Hugo Morales cosmic kite comentary.

Migod, this is real life, not FM. How was this not impressive?
Absolutely not. Bale only ever achieved legit world class status in my eyes anyway in his final season and not only that but in that season he was the only one scoring in a team that was playing shit. Lamela was playing for a high scoring Roma side in a lesser league.
Great achievement yes, world class no.
