Oh I never hinted for a second that he was BETTER on the right. Hes unquestionably not as good. Still leaves your comment way short of the mark tho. The sample you are judging him on is small enough without you(imo) judging it wrong.
Hes played less than a handful of games either right side or in centre. Other than that he sometimes switches sides for a ten minute spell, very rarely.
The game that stands out in my mind is Norwich away, at a time when Norwich were flying, Bale was given a free role and ripped them to shreds through the middle time and time again. He was unplayable.
Vs City this season he did damage both left and centre, scored a worldy IIRC.
The goal VDV scored at our place last season too. Bale beat 4men on the break on the right and set up VDV via lennon for the most beautiful counter attack goal Ive ever seen. Thats coming from me, whos team has been built on counter attacking for the last 5 years.
At home when teams sit deep hes not going to be as effective with his pace but his quality coming inside is more than enough to make him one of the best in the league on the right. Away from home his counter attacking on right is still breathtaking.

Yea Bale's not as effective on the right because he cant drive past the full back with pace and shoot/cross with his left
