Tell Bale he can't tackle. He took him out (fairly) twice yesterday. Two times more than anyone else this season
Made two runs into the box beating 3/4 players in 2nd half yesterday.
Speed, positioning and timing are just as good as muscle at full-back.
You could say he's keeping established 1st team defenders out of the team with his current form.
Come on now, Bale has one amazing game in 15, he's been kept quiet plenty of games this season.
I don't think Rafael's positioning or timing are particularly great, at elast consistently.
I don't think O'Shea/Neville/Brown are much competition nowadays, but then again this isn't the first time i've seen people raving over Rafael... i don't see it myself yet personally.
