The_Steve Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) That total_Villa account is stirring the pot - Leon’s dad said he’s committed to the club and they neglect to share that part. Edited August 31, 2022 by The_Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 20 hours ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: Butler actually quoted as saying " If things don't change Ajax could be an option " or something like that. However yes, I agree none of this is likely from Leon himself. Butler is over bearing. Overbearing yes: “We are no strangers to Ajax and respect the club immensely and its commitment to total football. We also made a commitment to Aston Villa and them to us, and that commitment is based on Leon achieving his goals and getting the playing time, to realise his potential and deliver for Aston Villa." I think that’s fine, he made the point about Ajax if the situation gets worse for him here. People are only picking on the negative. Does Craig open his mouth too much? Perhaps, I’m not a fan of people painting Leon as some kind of troublemaker or non-committed https://www.footballtransfers.com/en/transfer-news/uk-premier-league/2022/08/aston-villa-leon-bailey-ajax-transfer/amp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaHatesMe Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Not a big fan of Bailey, but these are the matches he should be starting. Arsenal will have the ball. His pace and ability to beat defenders 1 v 1 will come in handy on counters tonight. Hope he makes the most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Started well . Fell apart. Yet another player of ours not suited to high pressure football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Thought he had a very bright second half, only player to excite on the ball and had a good shot that lead to the corner goal. Of course he'll get dropped for next match way this season is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Only one that looked dangerous out of our attacking players, needs to be starting games and not playing one then on the bench the next 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's lazy as much as he can't do two things at once. He's faster than hell, but the second he has to pick his eyes up he slows down. When he looks to make a cross, he slows down. It's why he loses possession so often. It gives the defense a chance to react. Also a reason I don't think he's suited for this league. He'll have moments but they'll be few and far between.

HalfTimePost Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Poor delivery but you could see he was desperate to perform today. He was busting a gut whenever he had the ball to try and do *something*. Off the ball he needs to improve massively though, lathargic, slow to react and slow to close down. Not seen enough of him to know whether his poor final ball is poor technique a la Adama Traore or whether he's just trying too hard and hesitating and making poor decisions. Effort on the ball though was positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Like most wingers, needs a run of games and a better understanding with Cash to really get going. A lot of times he and Cash were right on top of each other during the overlap. Clearly best with his heels on the touch line and can torment many a lesser left backs if given the opportunity. Will also frustrate on occasion but such is the life of most wingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even when to go and when to stay depending on if Bailey has the opportunity to take his player on 1v1 instead of attracting a double team towards him. Situational tactics and such.
