The whole us not playing to his strengths is a myth There are lots of very one-footed players who have excelled at the highest level. Maradona rarely did anything with his right foot, Scholes rarely used his left. The issue with Bailey is his decision making. He's a head down player who gets himself in trouble, and he too often tries to dribble when the defender is set. Having said that, I still think Emery might see something in him. There is enough natural talent there to maybe get something out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adman Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Worked really.hard today, tracked back, got up and down the pitch but didn't really create a lot but at least the effort was there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QldVilla Posted March 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 12, 2023 I believe there's a good player there, but just doesn't suit Emery's tactical plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 He overcomplicates things and gets in a twist. He needs to take a leaf out of John McGinn's book and keep it simple and effective. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Sighed when I saw his name on the teamsheet, but was impressed he came out with his head up looking for the ball. Not a fantastic game, was a bit quiet other than the assist I thought, but much improved on his recent games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 A better game from him today. He still held on to the ball a bit longer than I’d like in small instances but he seemed to be a bit more decisive in his decision making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Still can't beat a man... Needs some tips from Ramsey on how to run with the ball and beat a player. Think Mr. Bailey will go in the summer, not good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Not great but at least got an assist. The problem is he can’t even be dropped because there is nobody else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Not great today but certainly not dreadful. There is a player in there I think, dunno why I think he will still come good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjaacckk91 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 He assisted, buendia scored but the pair of them were poor today. He seems to be hiding from the ball to me, I really hoped we had a player when he joined and it was just the injuries that held him back but whatever 'it' is I'm just not seeing it with him, can see there being a big shake up in the summer.

The only player who didn’t improve since UE came. I think he’ll find a way to get him back good after the break. Need everyone at their best against Chelsea.

robby b Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I acknowlege he still needs to improve asap and you may well be right those of you saying he'll be released in the summer. But... what brilliant play for the assist today: such quick, perfect touches to get to the bye-line and then the fast, perfectly placed cross to Luiz. And this set us on our way today for the win. So yeah he might be gone soon but with that magic moment today he helped us a lot to get from 35pts to 38pts with 11 games still to play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 He’s a moments of magic player rather than a steady Eddie. Not sure that will ever change. But I personally think he has a future here because of that raw pace and ability to skin a defender from a standing start. The assist was him at his best. Will just take time for Emery to get him doing the right things consistently. Right now he spends most of the game doing the wrong thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted March 19, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 19, 2023 Better than more recent outings. Excellent for the assist and he rarely (if ever) turned possession over today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Low in confidence but thought he looked better. Problem now is that the fans are on his back early. One mis placed pass and the reaction is immediate. Did his job yesterday, played as a winger, stayed wide to stretch the play, got a great assist in the first ten minutes.

birdman Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Clearly has ability just need to fine tune how we use that. His quick busts of pace and skill at getting past defenders is something we should nurture. Almost seems better coming in more central than staying out wide on the wing.

PaulC Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 His play for the first goal was brilliant and set the tone for the game Anybody thinking traore will be better than him think again 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I don't see him leaving in the summer. We're very light on attacking players. He's versatile in he can play wide or as a 2 up front. I'm sure he'll hit form before end of the season. He's an asset to the squad and will get better under Emery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
