Thought we had an option for a second year.

Makes a nice change from people saying he'd lost it and we should get rid

Welcome home finally. Only took 5 months!
It would be great if he could play every game from here on in and help us push for top 4 etc but that is highly unlikely
I'd imagine his fitness will be closely managed and the League Cup Final and Europa League will be prioritised

Good observation. He also worked harder tracking back then in games past. There was one passage of play where he chased hard from right center all the way to the left from roughly the beginning of the final third back into our half. The ball eventually got switched back to a rather large hole on the right but no damage was done. My reaction was it showed a desire/trust that wasn't there one month ago but he seems to be embracing this style of play.

Probably depends how things go. We should in theory be able to get past Zagreb without him starting, and then we'll have to see what the table looks like.

A few weeks ago I was in the send him back camp. I've never been happier to be wrong. He was magnificent yesterday. He also showed he is gaining confidence in his body again. Turned on the afterburners once or twice and shows he's still got that searing pace, he's just more selective now about when to use it.
Yesterday could well be a turning point in our season, and a big part of that is Bale coming good.

somebody made a compilation Bale's Burnley performance. What a reel. Every frickin touch was positive, meaningful.

My spreadsheet (yes I have a spreadsheet and I know that is very sad!) says Dele against Bournemouth in November 2019?

Occurs to me that he also turned assister to the assister with what was actually a very good switch of play from the right to Reggy on the left, something he did a few times, so he had a key involvement in all 4 goals.

That gut-busting run at 0:38 was so reminiscent of Bale's former stint at Tottenham.
He's a genuine superstar. Long may it continue.

Clearly his goals and assists are the most important in that clip, but my favourite touch he had was the one to Aurier at 2:36.
At face value, it looks a piss-easy 10-inch touch into the path of Serge, but I bet there's a lot of players who wouldn't have the finesse to caress the ball that way.

I really hope Bales form continues but more importantly his experience of winning things comes into play in the EL and carling cup final
We don’t just need his playing skills - we need his leadership in a team that doesn’t have a lot of experience getting over the line
