The one time I saw Bale play in person was preseason in NY and he was #9. It was before he took the 11 shirt. Confirmed in the video. I knew I remembered another number.
Absolutely. I knew based on Sergios Twitter history that he had to be psyched between Bale and Mourinho. He is clearly a huge fan boy of Bale and obviously watched them play as a kid. As far as Bale, I don’t ever really remember him talking so much when he was here, but I loved how genuinely happy he seems. I think it will improve his performance. Hard to work hard for people who don’t appreciate you.
I still think it’s such a bizarre coincidence that the only two signed jerseys i own in soccer are Bale and Morgan.
Weird because I definitely saw a 79 RM card with comments that he was like 20th highest on RM or something like that.
We obviously need to sell some considering we are rumored to be bringing in a striker and Dele couldn’t make the bench due to numbers and we haven’t even had to rotate Bale and Reguilon in yet. No Gedson either. Edit: Jose saying it is numbers just now and that he has a huge squad.
Southampton seems to have two players on every header and there have been a shit ton of headers this game.
I'm not highly upset with our performance so far, certainly not as much as the BT Sport commentators are, they're straight ripping on us. Two closely offside disallowed, creativity from Tanguy. I still just think Winks isn't doing a whole lot in the middle and we're not controlling that part of the pitch. I don't think this will end up 1-0, just hope that isn't jinxing a 2-0 or worse.
We look like shit but I can’t point to one player who is playing poorly. Jose’s tactics are just terrible. Great play right there from Tanguy, Kane, and Son
Son's angle was so so tight because of the overhit pass from Kane (great vision though), so that finish had to be top quality.
