To give the guy some credit, Bale took that chance superbly.
Bednerek was immense in the first half of the season. Like everyone else he has massively gone off the boil. I thought we may have struggled to hold onto him this summer. I Dont think we need worry now.

As I said before, I think that most of the regular players are burnt out and in need of a rest. It’s no surprise that the longer the game goes on the more likely we are to concede and less likely to score. We played some amazing football last year but at a high cost now in muscle injuries and fatigue. If I were Ralph I would do a Leicester now and consolidate at the back and hit teams on the break. Even Liverpool and City have struggle to maintain the high press/high intensity game over a period of time and they have deeper squads. I can see that tactic being consigned to the bin soon.
Fraser Foster's extra height and arm length gave him at least a foot more reach compared to McCarthy and meant he could have tipped Bale's shot over or round the post assuming he took up a similar position on the goal line. Not sure why he was dropped.
