He didn't win them single-handed though. Against Man United especially it wasn't Bale that won or drew the matches, it was the team fighting for 90+ minutes to secure 4 points against Fergie in his swansong season. That level of grit and determination is something we've barely seen this season and has been a massive loss.
Let's not try and dress up that Utd game as if it were an outstanding defensive performance, we just sat deep and let Utd come at us after they scored their 2nd, actually quite lucky to get away with 3 points.
I agree though we don't have anywhere near the fight and determination as last season, we actually had belief when going into games which was something that's always been lacking at Spurs I thought.
