He's spent the majority of the season in the physio's room. I wouldn't build my tactics around a player that I knew was a massive injury risk. In terms of him moving on, I think that will also go for any decent team in any league. They won't take a gamble on a sick note. I hope he has great end to the season though and makes me eat my words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Uploaded an Instagram story last night out for a meal with his mrs. Usually they are in a hotel the night before a game, assume he must be out unless it's a random upload of an old story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjaacckk91 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I'm so confused by this guy, such an enigma, is he any good or not. Reminds me of traore(Adama) and bolasie when they were here. Some absolutely ridiculous touches that no one else is capable of and then some horrific moments where you question if can actually play football. Answers on postcard.

We cant really judge him until he gets a run imo, we just need to look back to the Everton game to see what he is capable of. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Perhaps he needs a pre-season and hopefully then will show us his best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Yep, hope fans are realistic with him and I think most are, write this season off due to injuries and missing so much Give him cameos and ease him in / make him earn it then judge him Bit like sanson, great when we have him as an option, shows us getting better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you're totally right, but it's similar to sanson in that it feels like we never get closer to finding out. I keep thinking back to that game and what a player I thought we had, but in context it was 20 minutes and he spent a few games after then getting the full 90(or close) and being almost anonymous. Fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed ye completely agree re Sanson, i think both Bailey & Sanson are very good players, but neither have maintained a sustained level of fitness for a run of games, so we clearly havent seen what they are fully capable of. I do think though, both of them are good enough for us, no doubt in my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thug Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Needs time to get match fit. But I was surprised to see that -enko chap outpace him so easily. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 5, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 5, 2022 He's as rusty as my rowing machine, but he's still got that pace and energy. What I liked today was how we used him - Southampton were 4-0 down, but they were putting pressure on us and we were able to bring him on and suddenly had an outlet over the top into the corner with his pace behind. He took all the pressure off. When we're 1-0 up away somewhere, that's going to be very useful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Interesting that he features on this list having hardly had chance to contribute. He's a superstar in the waiting, hope he makes it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Looks miles off starting, really poor finish at the end. Think next few weeks is just about getting minutes and hopefully he can finally get momentum after break in April. Jamaica will probably call him up though and he'll do his hammy on international duty way his season has gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 The only thing Gerrard got wrong today was Bailey and Buendia. Played them on the wrong wings, swap them over and think they both would've looked more dangerous. Bailey's poor lifted attempt off his right foot had no power, had he been coming off the left her have had more power behind that like his goal at Everton. Buendia off the left would've looked better off the right where he's been more at home in his recent good performances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 He's clearly just trying so hard in his limited amount of time that he's not playing his natural game and putting pressure on himself, often leading to poor play. Him (and the fans) need to realise he has time to build himself up and take his time. I don't think he's showing his true self at the minute. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QldVilla Posted March 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2022 He's going to need time, missed 95% of the season so far. Hopefully he'll get more minutes over the coming weeks and build confidence with the players around him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
