I remember Bale when he first came and we first played him at FB without much joy and it wasn’t until Harry pushed him further up the field that he came good
I’m not comparing to peak Bale, but ‘shit’ BaleI think from a technical standpoint, it's harsh to judge anyone to Bale.
I think from the standpoint of massive improvements, Johnson can be compared. If he's hard working and has the right mentality, he will improve tenfold.
His issues are all coachable in my view. Technically, I don't think he's even that bad. He's no Bale, granted. But he's put in some excellent crosses since he's been here.
I do think he's better when he doesn't have to think too much though. Pure instinct. A bit like Son in that regard.
Yes but Twitch played him left mid first and I still say that was his best position despite his success as a wide forwardIt was AVB who played him regularly as an inverted wide forward that really made the biggest difference.
Redknapp did it once, then everyone sang “he plays in the left” and Redknapp put him back there.
If Redknapp had had his way he’d have sold Bale to Birmingham for a couple of mil.
Bentancur :What are the stats for Maddison and Bentacur?
I rest my case. We played the best team in the world.Bentancur :
Touches : 55
Accurate passes: 32/44
Key Passes : 0
Possession Lost : 14
Clearances : 3
Blocked shots : 2
Interceptions : 1
Tackles : 1
Dribbled past : 0
Maddision only played like 20 minutes so its not really fair to judge.
I rest my case. We played the best team in the world.
Let's see what happens v Brentford.
If our guys record similar stats then we can start worrying.
yea much more fight. him not being a gteed starter is good for him.I liked seeing him more in defence, there's been more fight from him tonight.
just wish he'd grab the bull by it's horns, drag it to the floor and flick it's balls to the tune happy days
