Against Everton he looked like dynamite - following his injury he appeared nowhere near as fast however and dare I say it, in some matches 'slow'. However, he's clearly over that and now looks fast again which is good for everyone. I'd imagine he will start against Bournemouth as things are at the moment. Yeah it's a weird point scoring thing I think, I mean when people called him slow it was pretty much universally in the context of "erm where has his pace gone? Is he still injured" type posts. Its good to see him able to use his greatest asset again and long may it continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 A huge highlight from pre season. Legitimate new signing vibes. The fact his hamstrings held up on that bog like pitch is a very very very good sign. Time to smash it Leon! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Tearing his quad was a horrible injury for him. Same happened with Kalvin Phillips and it took him an age to recover and then like Bailey he was ineffective. Looking at his history he has never been injury prone so hopefully we can have him for the majority of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie18 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I've just listened to an interview Craig butler did on YouTube yesterday, claiming Leon wasn't used properly and that he got injured because of the weather and flying to Jamaica in an economy seat. Also claiming he wasn't at his best because English coaches don't know how to use him correctly etc Strange bloke 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard isn’t clueless at all, he’s been there and done it as a player, he knows what it takes to be a success in football. I am happy that we signed Ludwig Augustinsson as cover for Digne as it means we won’t see Young at left back at all. Young probably hasn’t got the legs anymore to play at left wing sadly, I don’t know- sorry for going off topic Edited July 29, 2022 by sir_gary_cahill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted July 29, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 29, 2022 Gerrard rates Bailey, so he will probably start. I didn't rate him at the end of the season, and I still don't. Don't want to spoil the party, but that's how I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted July 29, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 29, 2022 I just don't understand for the life of me why we haven't tried something like... Mcginn - Kamara Bailey - Buendia. Coutinho Ings Especially in home games against "lesser" opposition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 The best line up would be Watkins Bailey Young McGinn Luiz kamara Young Mings Carlos Cash Emi or alternatively screw number 9s. go Coutinho, Buendia Bailey as the front 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
