Now Bale has hit firm and Kane is injury free, providing Jose allows them to, they will hurt many more teams

Your right Tickled Pink, if you watch the Dutch and French leagues it’s like walking football.

Last night Lucas Moura was at him from the start and kept nicking the ball off him....

More Luka than Jairo if the truth be told.

Luka getting caught in possession for their first goal was poor. Then we got a good equaliser at the end of the half - 1-1 and not looking bad. Wilf comes on - excellent.

Bale's second was poor defensive work all round, but at 2 - 1 we are still in the game. Then a Kane wonder strike to make it 3-1. Roy Keane saying only a few players in the world could do that.

We start pushing forward a bit more, Wilf hits the post and at 3-2 they get nervous.

The 4th on 75 odd minutes kills the game but the scoreline doesn't tell the story.

Unfortunately our defensive frailties were in evidence again. Milivojevic was out muscled by Lucas Moura for the first goal although I not sure where Van Aanholt was who should have been marking Bale. Their second goal was from a cross by an unchallenged Reguilon out on their left but there was no sign of Townsend to close him down. The fourth goal beggars belief when both Bale and Kane got behind our central defenders.

We lost the game 4-1 and I was NOT best pleased at all.
This is a comprehensive defeat and I have been expressing my displeasure this morning much to the chagrin of my dear wife.
