Spurs boss Redknapp defends Bale

Gareth Bale

Harry Redknapp has insisted that Tottenham Hotspur cannot expect a matchwinning performance from Gareth Bale every week.

Redknapp was speaking after Tottenham’s awful 4-2 defeat at Bolton Wanderers – let’s face it, Harry got the team selection and formation wrong today.

Redknapp said: “There was nothing wrong with Gareth today. He was probably my best player.

“He had some fantastic runs and crossed a couple of great balls. If people had got on the end of them he could have made two or three goals.

“I do not expect the kid to keep doing miracles. He will have good days, bad days. He is a young lad, a left winger. He has been fantastic for us and is improving.

“He will be marked very tight and people will make it very difficult for him. They are not going to stand off him and let him do what he wants to do. That is what he has to cope with.”
