West Ham ‘keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen has warned his outfield players against conceding free kicks against Spurs on Monday night.
Jaaskelainen’s main fear is that Gareth Bale will cause him problems with dangerous free kicks in promising positions.
He told whufc.com: "The ideal situation is that we don't give those silly free kicks away around the box, that's how you stop him because if you don't give him free kicks he can't do it again.
"He has obviously done lots of practice on the free kicks and the only thing a keeper can do is see the ball all the way and hope it doesn't go in right next to the post and he has a chance to save the ball."
Giving away possession and needless free kicks is something that West Ham are quite good at, so the Finnish stopper’s appeal is timely.
As painful as it is to accept, Gareth Bale is the best in the game on his day and no matter how on form a goalkeeper may be, the Welshman can and will punish even the slightest mistake
