Popular Post Villa87 Posted December 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2021 That stupid **** turn back into trouble in the first half with Buendia free sums him up at the moment.

He's in the big league now, you won't get away with constant silly tricks, you've got to pick your moment because these defenders don't fall for it easily. And when you've got a runner to the left of you through on goal against Man Citeh...... You pass it. He's still a big worry to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is so much space in the German league because everyone is playing a high line. I watched it during the early stages of covid and the defending was woeful.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Looks a bit greedy and seems to be running into trouble... As he went off looked in tears, I guess it's a bad injury. De Jong said after the game Bailey has had injury problems for eighteen months now, if that's the case he was a gamble perhaps that hasn't paid off....so far. Bailey seems to have skill and pace but he needs time to get up to speed and improve his physical fitness for the rigours of the PL, we often expect too much too soon.

Such a greedy player, thinks he’s Messi but he’s Baros. Seriously needs to start passing the ball and bringing his TEAMMATES into the game. I wonder how much his quite clearly self-interested personal ‘team’ influences his desire to go on crazy runs, score a worldie then see his name in lights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 He’ll be the player everyone talks about being a flop at the end of the season if he keeps this up. Just looks like a big waste of money currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted December 2, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 2, 2021 Unfortunately this one is going to hurt us, decent transfer fee, decent length contract on good terms... I'll eat my humble pie, but he won't play 50 games in a Villa shirt... Id take Traore or Trez or AEG over him ever day of the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvillafan Posted December 2, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 2, 2021 He's finding his feet and his fitness. He's not up to the speed of the PL just yet. Give him time - he's barely had a run this season so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I'd give him the rest of the year off to get to 100% fitness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it’s par for the course for some posters. Some embarrassing posts in here last night! Like Buendia, I just feel he’s trying a bit too hard to impress and needs to relax. Hopefully he’ll be back by the Leeds and Brentford games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolta Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Until the last two games I wasn't sure he was a footballer. But he's now shown glimpses of what he can do and has had some good moments. There is a good player in there clearly. He made one obvious miscall and I think, for me, people are too keen to take that one instance and expand it as all the evidence they need to write him off and cast judgement on him. On Saturday it was Watkins getting the same treatment. It's been others before. Looks like recency bias mixed with a bit of kneejerk to me. Hopefully the injury isn't too bad, and hopefully he gets over these niggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I genuinely thought he'd be a world beater. I'm not going to write him off, I guess I'm more frustrated that he just hasn't been able to get going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Have no lack of faith in his ability whatsoever, but there’s clearly a big problem with his leg right now. It’s a huge shame but he could become another very expensive player that we sign and cannot get the best out of due to injury. Whatever is wrong it keeps recurring, not sure if there’s surgery or something that needs doing it’s not my field, but this is the third time within a few months. It’s like he can’t make a proper sprint without it blowing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
