What was the score?
Guessing by the reaction Spurs owned?
Think people are hyping Bale up a bit too much at times, he is good, but this is the player that couldn't get into the team at left back past Assou Ekotto (spelling), who did improve a lot. I think Ekotto is injured at the moment aswell, which means Bale is lucky to be starting.
Although I agree, if he plays regularly he'll be class, but if not he could be a flop.
Insulting him? Oh dear..Bale's awesome, stop insulting him
Fair enough, I'll take your word for it as didn't see the line ups recently, I would of presumed Corluka would start at RB, I think he's a pretty good player, bit slow though and Harry likes fast full backs so I can see why.Actually, Assou-Ekotto is fit at the moment, and has been playing at RB instead of Corluka to allow Bale continue in his natural position. He has been immense recently, and I honestly hope we keep hold of him when the vultures come picking.
As for the game itself, I think we deserved to win it overall, despite Everton's superb second-half performance. We completely dominated in the first-half, and the lead could have been unassailable by the end of the 45 minutes. Great goal by Modric, and another one for the man of the moment; Pavlyuchenko, who has got 5 goals in less than 3 games total, which is brilliant considering he wanted to move not too long ago.
I am happy overall, as Everton nicked 2 goals back against us earlier in the season when we were 2-0 up, and I thought the same thing would happen today, so when we eventually sealed the 3 points; I was chuffed.
Oh right, fair enough.Corluka did start today at RB, and he does most of the time, but Ekotto has been played at RB a couple of times since Bale has been playing, purely because Harry doesn't want to replace him (at least that's the reason I imagine).
I think Corluka is a brilliant RB when he's at his best, but he's very defensive-minded, whereas both Bale and Assou-Ekotto get forward constantly, which is a real boost to our style of play.
Yeah Pav looks to be settling into England a lot more now, and Bentley seems happier than he was, same for Bale who probably was getting ****** off with losing every time he played.I'm just really happy that Redknapp has finally handed starts to players like Bale, Pavlyuchenko and Bentley, who have all been outstanding recently.
As he always says... "it's a nice problem to have" when you can't decide who to play.
