Tha can be best player ever but tha gonna be pretty ineffective in a team that's sat deep and set up not to lose rather than a team that's set up to be offensive and win. I thought Bale did ok considering all that. He showed a touch of class at times and battled hard like the rest of the Welsh lads.
