MWARLEY2 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Its quite obvious that he is a huge talent. But he is hugely inconsistent. Emery is rightly persevering with him to see if he can help him get some more consistency. At some point one of two things will happen. He will either become consistent or he will be replaced with a player Emery believes is better and more consistent. So lets support the lad and see if he can become the player his skillset suggests he can be 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Thought his link up play was much better today. Some of our attacking passing moves involved him playing the ball off much more quickly. Today he was part of a strong unit that kept the ball really well, restricted chances for the opposition and patiently waited. It was less about the individual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Leons finishing wasnt good but his game wasnt as bad as some are making out. Seems to struggle away from home for some reason. Ince he gets the goal away from home i think we will see a consistent bailey 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isnt on bad form though he was good last week. He is just inconsistent mainly sway from home. I think its a confidence thing. Once we have another pacey wide player we are gonna see leons game into another league level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervillan78 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 So frustrating again today. Does well in the build up but then his finishing/final ball is woeful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Thought he had an overall good game but his shooting was not good. He’s such a sweet striker of the ball but has been fluffing his lines recently (except Leeds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is, will it happen now or in the Summer… He has some the ability, I think, but he’s miles off it at times. For us to go where we want to, I’m going to bite the bullet and say he isn’t quite good enough I’m afraid. I questioned his attitude a lot last year and at times earlier in the season but I actually think that isn’t the issue at all. Just not sure he’s cut out for this league. Hope he proves me wrong.

MrBlack Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 He's got no competition for his place in reality. He needs to find some form before he does. I want him to do well, but not sure it's going to click for him. Thankfully it's not costing us at the moment, and we might get lucky and have him find his spark before it does. I'd be very happy if it does click, but pretty sure we'll be investing in another forward/ winger before the window closes and think that would be the end of him here.

PieFacE Posted January 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 21, 2023 Bertie scores one of the chances he has today imo. But I thought Bailey's general play was good today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I think his allround game is far superior to traore's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 He's questioning himself I think. If he's calm and confident he will bury those chances. He's still very young and needs to just relax and play his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) I sometimes feel some just legit wait for the kid to miss a chance or make a mistake. Whether people want to admit it or not, he has contributed. He has contributed to goals and points throughout the season. Again, he frustrates me too, but i hate the way it seems he is almost being picked on. Almost Anwar syndrome. As another poster said, he's obviously talented, Emery is trying to get the best out of him with a combo of Man Management and perseverance. It will either work, or he'll eventually be displaced by someone more consistent. Either way, I feel we could do much worse than having him in our squad. The good bits he does never gets any attention, but the moment he misses a chance or make a mistake it's full throttle " Get this wasteman out of my club " type posts ffs. Emi Buendia is equally , if not sometimes more responsible for alot of careless play but doesn't get half the hate. Note: I'm not saying Emi should get it either.. I just hate how people select a scapegoat and run with it, no matter what. Edited January 21, 2023 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I think today's game actually shows how he is improving, we are used to see him blow hot and cold, getting the ball in attacking positions and it's 50/50 if he fumbles over the ball or does something great, and then being sloppy in possession. Today he was more of a team player, he was careful with his passing and contributed to the overall play and keeping possession. He raised the lower standards of his game. That he can hit the hieghts we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
