ChesterDad Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I would say ok - nothing more than this really. We have to improve on Bailey to move us forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeypuzzle Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) Hit the crossbar in the first five minutes. So unlucky. Fingers crossed it starts to click next season for him. Edited May 28, 2023 by Monkeypuzzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Very good today, worked his socks off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchy Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Emery’s removed the Gerrard monkey off his back and he’s growing in confidence. The little clip of him singing Emery’s praises speaks volumes. I think he needs improving on but if we can get a SS/RW of real quality I wouldn’t mind seeing a 433 with a revitalised and rejuvenated Bailey down the left.

KMitch Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I've been his biggest critic, but he was great today. Unlucky not to get on the scoresheet and is looking up more for teammates instead of just putting his head down and trying to dribble past his man over and over again. Maybe there is a future for him at the Villa after all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DCJonah Posted May 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2023 I'm a big fan but he wasn't great today. He was decent but great is a bit much. JJ was great. He had some good moments but I think we need to move on from him. I'll be disappointed if he's starting most games next season. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Played his part today including a great pass for the second goal. Very important contribution that. There's a player there just depends if he can get to the level and consistency Unai demands. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2003 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 What a beautiful pass for the Watkins goal. Like McGinn for the pen against Liverpool. Love those left footed clips through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he creates goals and we win he's done his job. Only deflection from defender stopped him scoring early goal Edited May 29, 2023 by Kiwivillan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we qualified to the Conference League, I think we should keep him. He won't get that good offers I'd assume anyway. Even if we got two wingers, we'll still be short by selling him and Traore. For me I'd keep both while getting a new right winger. I don't think anyone would mind having the likes of Bailey starting in Europe, and having their part in the squad in the PL. I also still think that if we play with wingers, he'd do fantastic on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 He always looks spent after 60 mins or so. Even after a run of games. He needs to work on that. If he’s here next season he’ll be a squad player getting minutes at the end of matches in the PL, which I’m not too fussed about. However, if a decent bid comes in for him it might be time to let go.

rodders0223 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) Had a decent game because for once he actually kept it simple and maybe knew what was at stake He got the ball and he skipped past a man, and passed it on and then moved. He wasn't constantly holding onto the ball or trying to beat people when the easier one two pass is on. If he did this he'd actually get in more spots to receive the ball in dangerous areas and get the numbers...because he can't beat people from the halfway line and get an assist like Jack could. He actually generally has a good final ball, he's just never in positions to deliver quite often....because hes lost it trying to beat 3 men next to the dugout.

We’ll need a deeper squad to hit 7th again with the addition of European football (look at West Ham). Bailey maybe has a part in that but for me I’d like to see him upgraded.

cheltenham_villa Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Was great going forwards, brilliant pass for Watkins goal, hit the bar and should have had an assist for Ramsey. Defensively he needs to work harder. Mcginns booking came because he was holding up the play, delaying a free kick while screaming at Bailey to get into position.

vreitti Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Emery isn't stupid. We will be buying a more complete starting winger. Bailey might have a role to play as a squad player, but I doubt he'll be okay with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been very good since returning to fitness. Hopefully he improves again next season and keeps consistent.

Only deflection from defender stopped him scoring early goal I mean that's not true at all if the rest of his performance affects the team negatively. Not that it did yesterday, probably a 6.5/10 for me. Edited May 29, 2023 by Tom13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
