WHY Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 1 hour ago, VillanousOne said: Buendia has better stats, assists and goals than Bailey, but both have suffered from injuries and idiot manager, Bailey more so. I rate them both highly and am excited that we have them in the squad Buendia has 1 goal and 0 assists in the PL this season. Football is about here and now, not last season. Fans can blame the previous manager all they want but at the end of the day Buendia simply hasn’t been good enough for the fee we payed. I really want him to succeed and am hoping Emery can get a tune out of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is you can't just cherry pick facts to make 'your opinion seem better' which most love on here, *Bailey did nothing last season, Buendia did better, now Bailey has started to show us what he is capable of this season but still far from consistent (yet). Buendia is only just getting some games under his belt and we look far better for him being in the team. And yes we can and will blame the previous manager for being a giant bell end and persisting with Coutinho when he was doing nothing** For balance who has been 'good enough for the fee paid?', I mean Diego Carlos 19 mil and he's done sod all in a Villa shirt - tch, simply not good enough eh***Facts left out *due to injury mainly **mainly because the system didn't suit him and the whole team was playing terribly ***definitely due to injury Edited December 25, 2022 by VillanousOne 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add to that. The only player that has kicked on this season in the midst of all the dross is the player that wasn't even in the 11 at the start of the season. Luiz. Outside of Dougie, I'd say Bailey and Ming's have had great games the rest of the team have all under performed imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree always a long shot, honestly don't know what the score was between him and macallister before this season, always felt like he was in more squads than played games so maybe they took a look at him and he didn't show enough, things like the corona travelling controversy I always felt like he had to take that chance cos he hadn't nailed the position down (funnily enough I thought the same about martinez, we'll never know how different that could have been) But at the same time it feels to me like his international career has taken a step backwards under Gerrard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) He's like a lot of our players, most of the squad in fact, that is good on his day but too inconsistent, same goes for all but a few of our players.

Reivax_Villa Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 He is not at the required standard like the rest of our other players. He has the intention to do the right thing, but he lacks quality to pull them off. He has been a below par purchase.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Decision making is awful, massively overrated on here. Not good enough for a record signing,. Let Buendia Bingo commence from his apologist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
