Bale not in Spurs squad....

[Cleve van Leef]

Watched him very closely in that Brighton game. Spurs were awful all over the pitch and got done every time down their left (opposite side to bale) and out fought in midfield. Bale worked on scraps and tried to make things happen then got dragged off after an hour as if it was his fault. He's barely played so you can't expect miracles.

Mourinho likes players with high intensity off the ball. Bale comes to life with the ball at his feet. It just doesn't fit.

He’s taken over from Dele Alli as Mourinho’s scapegoat. Mourinho is on thin ice at the moment and when you look at it he was never a Tottenham fit. The guy is out of his depth.
