'It's as if he's happy to sit on the bench': Graeme Souness urges Gareth Bale to kick up a fuss over his lack of Tottenham game time as Real Madrid loanee is dragged off after an hour at Brighton after ANOTHER poor display

Graeme Souness believes Gareth Bale must kick up a fuss at Tottenham due to his lack of playing time - despite the Real Madrid loanee delivering another below-par showing in the defeat at Brighton.

Bale was handed a rare start at the Amex on Sunday evening in the absence of crocked talisman Harry Kane, but was hauled off after an hour following an ineffectual and limp performance.

Souness is adamant, however, that Bale will need to openly declare frustration over his limited role this season.
