95% of our players need to prove a lot more than Bale does to get in the squad, and quite right too. His form doesn't matter, the fact that he's not been playing doesn't matter, he's done more than enough in his career to justify his selection. Loosely suggesting that there should be the same approach towards Gareth Bale and Rabbi Matondo/Tom Lawrence is ridiculous
I'm not quite sure why advocating an egalitarian approach to the selection of a starting eleven based on form is ridiculous.
