ARE Manchester United and Barcelona one-man teams? I only ask because that is the label that's being thrown at Tottenham because of Gareth Bale's sensational form of late. However when you consider it, Robin Van Persie and Lionel Messi's targets have secured more details for their teams than Bale has for Spurs in 2010. I am a Spurs lover and love seeing Mr Bale week in and week out and if people want to call my team a one-man team that is good, I just do not concur with the tag, and it's taken me some time to know there's no such thing.

I actually do not believe so, but he's gained a whopping 22 points for his side together with his objectives this season. Ronaldo could be the only player to be placed in exactly the same class as Messi, but he has not been quite so important for Real Madrid - his targets have acquired seven points. RVP is having another outstanding period, this time around at Manchester United. Some say he moved Arsenal a year ago and he is apparently doing the exact same at Old Trafford. Like Messi he's accountable for obtaining 22 of the Red Devils' points this season. Without van Persie's finishing power, United will be fifth in the Barclays Premier League in 2010. Barcelona could be next in La Liga. Both will be just twenty factors off top, such has been their importance this plan. Gareth Bale, meanwhile, and his goals, have served Spurs to accumulate this season to 15 points which they mightn't already have obtained. They'd drop to ninth place. So that is the one-man team? In every honesty, not one of them. Ask any manager at any level and they'll tell you that leading goalscorers are like gold dust. Finding someone to put the ball in the back of the internet is the absolute most difficult task there is out there. Bale, Messi and van Persie are putting the ball in the net, anything they have been charged with doing, and they are doing it well. Were Newcastle or Blackburn a group when Alan Shearer scored those objectives? Think about Thierry James at Strategy? I'm sure there are a few Invincibles out there who'd beg to differ. I have been guilty of explaining competitors as one-man clubs before, I'll joyfully keep my arms up and acknowledge it. It is only when that is thrown at your group that you suddenly examine it all. I named Liverpool a band when Steven Gerrard pulled them through the mire a few years before, and that has been not only as a result of his objectives. When van Persie was slamming in the targets I explained Arsenal therefore a year ago. But the truth is it's not right. Tottenham are probably described therefore because of the standard of moves that Bale has been netting. You may argue that minus the goals he has scored, where might Spurs get them? Well in alternative methods needless to say. Against West Ham on Monday night, Steven Caulker had three headers from sides wonderfully preserved by goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen. Gylfi Sigurdsson struck the post and Emmanuel Adebayor also set a header at the keeper. had they gone in, Bale's brilliance would not have been needed. Then look at Hugo Llloris' save yourself just before Sigurdsson amde it 2-2. Just what a signing he's been. Against Lyon in the Europa League, it was Mousa Dembele striking from variety to secure safe passage to the last 16, not Bale. I've always been an advocate of playing to your skills. People hate the way in which that Stoke play, and I moaned when, after 26 minutes against West pig, the Hammers got a free-kick inside their own half and there clearly was not a single person between the taker and the Spurs charge place some 50 yards away. Stoke, West Ham et al play with their benefits, it may not function as way most of us desire to see baseball enjoyed, but you've got to play the way that suits you. That's I've got no problem with that and what they're going to do, if that is their best. Truly Gareth Bale is a real energy for Tottenham. So they play to him. They let him do what he does most readily useful and the fans think it's great. Without him, there would be someone else, probably not of the same quality, but the group would play in a different way. Who cares he is scoring therefore many fantastic targets? As I undoubtedly don't a Spurs fan. Let's just accept him, then we'd maybe not see him in his full sweeping most useful as regularly, and for, soon enough, he will keep for pastures new, possibly abroad.
