Harry hates it when Bale scores - no celebration whatsoever
To be honest I reckon it's more to do with either/or a) frustration at the chances he missed himself to do b) frustration at his situation and not being where he'd have hoped (or deserved on individual performances) at this stage in his career.

Maybe the fact that he can’t/won’t run?
It’s no coincidence that PEH’s form fell of a cliff since Ndombele moved into the deeper cm role
Agree, don’t think ndombele fits that ball carrying n.o8 role, Lo celso is perfect.

Ndombele needs to play a bit further forward or in a 4-3-3.

I think Kane just really wanted a goal today, saw this as a perfect opportunity to add a couple towards his golden boot.

Nothing more than that I don't think.

Bale was fantastic today, I really hope we can hang on to him for next season.

I’d like to see Ndombele rotated with Dele in the number 10 role. He excelled there earlier in the season.

Irregardless, I’d still play Ndombele over Winks in a double pivot every day of the week. Can’t wrap my mind around Mason’s decision to play him over Ndombele.

Watched Harry winks exclusively as much as possible in the last 20 minutes. Absolutely rubbish, worthless safe passing, no movement, didn't show for the ball a few occasions.

the only neg in an otherwise great game, he honestly made me angry. One of the few things Jose got right

anyway good game, Aurier was excellent again. Bale obviously motm

Was it like that film ‘Zidane’ but with Winks instead?

The performance today was all about drive and effort so I can see why he might prefer Winks over Ndombele. It's early in his spell as manager and I suspect he is trying to lay out some ground rules, no more to it than that.

Kane was dropping too deep at times.
Dele and Lo Celso were getting the ball forward, so wasn't needed that far back.

Sometime he just looks to do too much ( has been needed...)

Kane obviously still upset we lost the final. Nothing more to it

He’s hardly going to be buzzing we scored some goals in a close to meaningless game. CL is so unlikely now. If we were closer up the table his reaction would be different obviously.

No mention of the stamp after the game. Wonder if it will be on MOTD2. He has to be banned for several games for this.

In my eyes, we get top 4 if we win our remaining games. Tall order considering our recent form, but not impossible.

i agree, would swap Ndombele for Dele in that role but he will need to prove himself with running and pressing without the ball, that is what he is lacking, there is no denying his ability on the ball, but he is just not a team player and way to lazy, Hope people can see this and that it makes the team weaker on a whole.

Norwegian broadcaster, with former Palace-player Brede Hangeland in the studio, called it a disgrace, and 100% on purpose.

Yeah winks has been full of drive and effort this season.
