I think it was plain for all to see he wasn't scoring or assisting if we played all week Send him and Coutinho out with a bag full of balls and no opposition and I'd put my money on 0-0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly his confidence is shot and he needs to come out of the team Very little choice he’s the only wide player we have. Yes he starts up front in the pre match formation picture you see on the tele , but he takes up wide position and is supposed to gives some pace. We haven’t got another senior winger and Unai has already specified that we are looking for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not as simple as that is it? We were completely shit going forward and he was a big part of that. If we score an extra goal then we probably win comfortably. He was the worst player on the pitch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t play like that. You just can’t. We’d have been better off with any one of Traore, Trezeguet or El Ghazi in the side. Bailey is utter garbage.

We desperately needed to upgrade both of them. But so far Bailey has been comfortably worse than both of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will say this is hyperbole but I’d rather have El Gazi, Traore or Trez on the end of every chance Bailey has had in the last few games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not hyperbole. At all. In fact I don’t see how anyone could disagree. I could understand people saying Bailey has had injuries and hasn’t shown us his best and will come good etc. But based on what we’ve seen on the pitch SO FAR, I don’t see how people can say Bailey has been better than any of those three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 He's shown very little since he's been here. His body language was wrong again, just like Coutinho's was. We need to replace those two plus Buendia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaHatesMe Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I've never liked Bailey. Anybody here who still thinks there's a useful player in there either doesn't pay attention or just refuses to admit they're wrong. He does something cool once in a while and then spends the next two months giving the ball away, refusing to defend, or refusing to make runs to give another player space. He's nothing but step overs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Woeful again today. Obviously was given the game to get over his miss on Thursday, well that’s backfired as he’s even lower on confidence now. Really does look a complete waste of money. The sooner Emery brings in his own players the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Not really been a fan ever sine he joined, very poor today against opposition he should dominate. Woeful against Wolves too. I'd prefer Traore back on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an absolute waste of money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
