Does playing a high line really help Bale and Lennon though? Bale does his best work when he's running from deep and going past players. Lennon is also better with a bit of space in front of him. They will now receive the ball further up the pitch in more dangerous areas but I don't think it is there game.
There both much more effective on the counter with plenty of space in front of them that's the case for most pacey players.
