Maybe I’m being too sentimental but Lamela has been playing fantastic football the last two games, seems harsh to just drop him straight away. And Gareth coming back from injury too... I’d have him on the bench and give him half an hour, should be more than enough to score a brace against that lot.

Have watched various Bale videos of his goals for Madrid in the last few weeks, but hadn’t seen this one.
Had forgotten he likes a pirouette and nutmeg even more than Dele.
Just hope that injuries haven’t taken their toll too much and that with the enjoyment back in his life and hopefully renewed desire he can push himself physically to retain even 75% of what he was.

Got to be honest, since he has come back I have been watching all his old goals for us and Madrid and can't wait to see him back on the pitch.
It only clicked for me watching videos of us this season just how much space he will get. He doesn't need to be the level he was before as our forward line is a different level now, he won't be the main fear for defenders. The amount of times we have played the ball to Lamela/Lucas/Aurier where he would normally be is frightening. He will terrorise teams.
If they try and stop him Son will be given too much space, I could be getting overly excited and throw all the optimistic ratings you want. I think if Liverpool don't win the league we do.
I honestly can't see teams keeping clean sheets against us and if it becomes a we score more than you game I think our forward line beats any in the league.

I can't argue that, he was excellent against Utd. Still think he's best as the central attacking midfielder though. It also depends if Lo Celso is back though otherwise I'd be tempted to start Ndombele alongside Hojbjerg and Lamela in front. My main concern with Lamela though is if he really has 90 mins in him. I see him more as someone who can come on for 30 mins and give 100% flat out than try and last 90. He tends to fade later on in the game.

Nah, would be better if he curls in a 3rd minute too bins screamer from 35 yards on the way to a 14-0 win.

He's still nursing an ITK niggle and we hope he will be available for the main forum after the international break.

And for once if we get a 2 month injury to Kane and/or Son we have Bale, Vinicius, Bergwijn, to step up. Exciting times.

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but he actually has a pretty killer long throw in his locker now. I can't remember seeing this when he was at Spurs?

He had it with us too. It's probably even better now with all those golf swings

Yeah the sheer distance on those throw-ins were 100% a byproduct of his Real Madrid body transformation.

The anticipation is killing me... I hate international breaks.
