His Name Is Death Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) You only have to had watched him in the Bundesliga to know that we're lucky to have him. He's going to be inconsistent like pretty much every winger (including Ribéry and Robben), but I'm sure he'll be a great player for us when we give him a proper chance.

Gerrard don't really use wingers though. It's the fullbacks who provides the width in his system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyjsg Posted January 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2022 We have only seen this guy proper fit for a few mins and he was awesome. I think he and Bertie will be Plan B and will probably end up winning us games again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post useless Posted January 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2022 Bailey isn't an old fashioned winger that just stays out wide, those kind of wingers barely exist these days, most play more like inside forwards, which is how Bailey plays and as such is perfectly suitable for Gerrard's system. Ryan Kent isn't a no.10, he's a winger and played every game when fit for Rangers when Gerrard was their manager, Bailey is a similar type of player, so no reason why he won't be used often for us in the front three. So far Gerrard as used, Watkins, Jacob Ramsey, Young, El Ghazi, Trezegue, Chukwuemeka, and Ings as wide forwards/No.10s, pretty confident that if Bailey had have been available he would have been in the team ahead of all of them, not because he's better per se but because he's better suited to that particular role. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent and Robertson provides the width No but the point is despite the width being provided by the wing backs, the tight front three of two wingers and a striker is used by Gerrard.. I just think he is a very talented player who has barely had chance to settle before he was injured so lots yet to show and see. He could still be a big story for us. We are going to need our full 25 player squad over the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey needs space to take advantage of his explosiveness. A lot of teams in the Bundesliga plays with high lines so he is more suited to play in that league. I think it's a similar situation to Sancho. I'm not sure they will succeed in this league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t mean he can’t get in behind the defence as a 10 or even a centre forward, anyway Ryan Kent is more or less a out an out winger did he not use him at Rangers?

HKP90 Posted January 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Bailey absolutely can play in this system. I have no doubt at all. When Coutinho came on he was picking it up deep almost in a mezzala role and driving forward taking folks on. Worked a treat. Bailey can do exactly the same with full backs bombing on to provide width. 100%. If anything I worry about how Traore fits in this system.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Gerrard rates him as well, similarly to how he always indicated he rated Buendia. I'm just wishing on the stars that he can stay fit, the potential here is immense. Imagine him bolting on to the end of Buendias incisions of opposition defenses! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent and Robertson provides the width Surely you could accept though that their attributes are somewhat similar and therefore Bailey should be able to adapt fairly seemlessly? Gerrard also wants our fullbacks to provide the width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 We actually have better options than urd to come off the bench with a fully fit squad Imagine bailey, traore and ings coming on as subs. Hell even targett and young. Its just a massive shame we have not at any point this season had a full strength team to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
