Has he made us look better than we are?
Looking back over the last 18 months he's been our trump card in the league and champions league.
We just don't look like scoring without him playing well...
think Bale's only scored one or two less than VDV, hasn't he? that's inclusive of VDV scoring some pens.
it's Bale and VDV papering the cracks over our shit strikers.
our Champions League run definitely papered over cracks in the league form.
Harry loved his "2 points from 8 games" quote. Will he parrot "1 win in 13 games" now the shoe is on HIS foot?
It's not bale its the CL that has papered over the cracks.
Finishing 6th in the league, hammered by fulham in the cup & well beaten by man utd reserves in the league cup but because we got to last 8 by beating a poor Milan side (although our Milan away performance was extremely good) & an inter side who got their ass handed to them by a very poor schalke team as shown by the man utd match, has all the pundits creaming over him but some serious questions need to be asked of this season.
I'm not in the harry out brigade he definitely deserves another season but he should be warned another poor showing like this in domestic competitions will lead to him getting the bullet
It's easy to sniff at pens but having a good penalty taker is massive
Dawson has been ok, not consitently excellent.Modric, gallas and Dawson have been consistanly excellent.
Since Christmas Bale, VDV have been patchy, while the strikers have been awful.
Up til the winter Harry called everything spot on, getting the right players in and picking the right team.
The clubs failure to pick the right striker, has left us upper midtable this year, and cost the club something like £50 million at least.
We should have walked it this season after the start we made, and have literally handed it on a plate with our inability to win. Thing of all thoese draws, had we won 4 of them, we would have been laughing..its all down to a mix of crap attacking and Gomez!
