Six goals in six games but Souness still blasts Bale

Gareth Bale has scored six goals in his last six games but Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness still found reason to criticise him after Tottenham’s 4-1 win over Crystal Palace.

While Spurs fans got giddy over Hareth Kale taking them to sixth and within two points of a Champions League place, Souness was taking issue with his post-match interview.

When asked why it had taken him so long to show this form, Bale said: “It’s taken a bit of time, but I’m experienced enough to know it takes patience.

“Time will tell (if he can reach his very best), but I’m not 21 anymore. Your body changes over time and I’m having to learn that.”

Souness was not happy with that interview or Bale’s season return of ten goals, saying:  “We had a conversation about him a few weeks ago. If I’m him at that stage, I’m knocking on the manager’s door telling him I’m ready.”We were getting pictures of him sitting on the bench looking uninterested, not bothered and joking with subs.

“We’ve got 11 games to go and he’s been here all season. I just expected more from him.

“I’m an enormous fan of Gareth Bale when he’s playing football. But I want to see more of him.

“Unless he’s got a fundamental problem…those words he came out with at the end there about not being 21 and your body getting tired – we’ve all been 31!

“Your career finished too early when you’re a football player. I’d like to see more enthusiasm from him.”
