People can slag off Doherty all they like but Bale hung him out to dry. A fair few times the camera caught bale just standing there watching while Doherty get overrun in a 2-on-1 or even 3-on-1 at times. I genuinely don't know what people expect Doherty to have done in most of those situations but there's a huge lot more Bale could've done
Don't get me wrong, Doherty is shit, but a lot of the issues he faced were down to Bale not being arsed to help him out.
Bale was an absolute disgrace today IMO. You'd think after we've effectively made his career and then saved him from his exile in Madrid that he'd at least have the decency to pretend to put a shift in. It looked for the last couple of games like he finally got his head together but today was arguably the least effort he's put into a game yet. And then for him to have the nerve to shake his head and huff and puff when he got dragged off? He can fuck right off after that. His attitude is just stinks and there was no disguising it there. There were a lot of shit performances and tactics today, but Bale's is the hardest to swallow for me. It wasn't just a poor performance he looked like he just couldn't give a fuck whatsoever and in a crucial game, never mind NLD, that's just not acceptable.
