Are you serious?

He's been solid this year (when played as a right-back) but am the only one who remembers how Bale ripped him a new one last season?

Bale ripped Maicon apart, but people still consider him one of the best Right backs in the world

United's 20-year-old Rafael had Bale in his pocket in their last game, besides it wasn't just the game against Spurs, as far as I remember he was a (defensive) liability in most of the games he played. No wonder Ancelotti didn't even register him in our CL squad list last season (that's why Zhirkov played LB against Inter) .

What about Manchester United, Aston Villa, Bolton last season. Seems to have done pretty well as we won all of those games with him at right back and only concede 2 goals.

Can't remember the Bolton game but we were cruising against Aston Villa and the United goal (a blatant handball) came from his side when he should've stopped Nani's cross.

Look I'm not arguing his use but I don't see him as the concistent 7 out of 10 man anymore, age has taken a toll on his pace and he has often problems with quick wingers.

Haters gonna hate.

Funny how we were saying the same things a while ago.
