false 9 is quickly becoming the most annoying term in all of football

by Tomwin Lannister Sun Aug 04, 2013 10:01 pm

Yeah, basically if you're an advanced Midfielder and are having a particularly good season you evolve into a False 9 and your coach can do nothing about it.

I want to see what a 'false' goalie would be like lol

Or would it simply mean playing 'rush' keepers ? Smile

You're getting angry because people don't agree with you. I'm looking at the analysis of the matches having actually watched them myself and it's clear Bale is playing the role of a SS.

His average position his central and more advanced than the striker at times!

I didn't literally mean false 9. I was just trying to use that alongside SS to say he wasn't exactly a pure striker. Just someone who was in a free role, went to the wings etc.

Bale isn't a false 9 anyway, since false 9's have to be creative as well. Just couldn't find a precise name for his position.

Anyway the conclusion is Bale was a SS/free roam/whatever last season, which is pretty much in the same category as a forward.

He wasn't a winger at least anyway, at least not for the entire season.

It all started with the b2b LB, that guy should have been banned, and possibly sued, to stop it there...

less than 6hrs till Spurs begin training...

by FennecFox7 Mon Aug 05, 2013 2:32 am

Bale isn't creative? I've heard it all.. :facepalm:

by Crimson Mon Aug 05, 2013 2:33 am

Bale is very creative just no one in the Spurs team can finish to save a damn!

by Arquitecto Mon Aug 05, 2013 2:56 am

Bale actually isn't creative. He is merely intelligent in passing the ball from designated areas along with his crosses.

Yet calling him creative when a lot of his tendencies show that he is not, is grossly miscued.

As by this logic, Stewart Downing is creative as well.

Real Madrid has enough creativity in Midfield, They just need game changers... which Bale is

by CBarca Mon Aug 05, 2013 3:58 am

Sooo is Bale still at Tottenham? I've been gone and I don't feel like reading 37 pages.

Bale is our best player, RM should keep their hands off.

Yes.. he isn't.

by FennecFox7 Mon Aug 05, 2013 6:13 am

Then you obviously haven't seen him play..

His name doesn't have to be baledinho or bale hernandez to be creative

He creates quite a few chances for tottenham when i see them play..
