Bales current hot streak will last as long as it takes opposing Managers to recognise they need to pay him special attention. Expect opponents to double up on him to combate his speed and squeeze the space.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has slated Rafa Benitez over his tactics for Inter Milan's defeat this week.
Redknapp is keen to bang the drum for English bosses – and insisted Blackpool’s Ian Holloway would have done Âbetter in the away dugout than former Liverpool boss Benitez.
He said: “Foreigners aren’t any Âcleverer than we are.
“Were they clever tactically the other night by leaving Gareth Bale one-for-one with their right-back, when he kept Âripping him up?
“I was surprised, for sure. Ian ÂHolloway would have doubled up on him.â€

fucking wanker. when he achieves HALF of what rafa has he can talk. cunt.

I mean Bale only scored a hattrick the week before, nobody could have thought he needed to be dealt with.

okay, tactically naivety from rafa but rafa's naivety has gleened him;
1 CL
1 uefa
1 FAC
2 la liga
what has rednapp's tactical brilliance gleened him?
a couple of carling cups and and an fac.
oh, despite rafa's naivety and rednapp's brilliance, he (rednapp) managed to finish about rafa ONCE in six seasons.

League position is heavily correlated with the size of the wage bill. Ours has always been greater than any team Redknapp has managed so you'd have to expect that.
And this "tactical brilliance" of Rafa doesn't really stand up to much scrutiny - hence your reaction earlier.

If they both had equal resources then that would make sense, but since Inters wage bill is twice what Spurs is it seems a little stupid.
We know Inter have a squad capable of winning the entire thing though, so let's see if they do, isn't that a better test of Benitez ?

Actually I'd say the current Spurs team isn't that far apart with Inter's in terms of quality.
And please don't do a player-by-player comparison. That isn't always the best and most accurate factor in such arguments.

the bottom line is it's a bit rich one coach questioning another coach's tactics when that coach has achieved far more in the game.
what's the pinicle or rednapp's career? qualifiying the CL?

Redknapp is a gobshite. We know that already. He just happens to be correct on this occasion. It was a huge tactical error on Rafa's part, to leave Bale one on one with Maicon.

He'll turn around and say that's proof that British managers(i.e. Coyle) aren't worse than foreign ones, cos afterall, he did not say he was better than them/Rafa. 😛

Bale was owned by Lee Chung Yong today.
Does that mean that Lee is the world's best player on form now ?
Let's get him !

This Bale talk really gets on my tits. Yes he's good and yes he's in excellent form but people are going a bit far! Any joy he had today was because that big ejit Steinnson was parked right up his arse on the half way line, meaning if Bale could find a one-two he was away with 30 yards of space to run into! A full back who holds his defensive line and has a bit of support from his winger in front should be fine.
Give it a few weeks and he'll be back in his place.

Good point Norniron, sure Phillip Neville owned him a couple of weeks ago.
Don't be silly, sky have decided he's the best left winger since Billy Liddell, and that's that.

Lee's a fairly useful player to have around, for us at least. What would be SCM's opinion if he were mooted as a possible signing?

£50million thanks to £40-a-roll tape? 😛
Are you seriously trying to attribute Bale's success to steroids?
Because that would make you seem a bit mental
