Risso Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 He's abysmal. Does absolutely no work off the ball, and set the tone this afternoon by letting Claire Balding waltz past him time and time again. All of which would be OK if he was a mesmerising presence up front, but he's no pace, can't beat a man, rarely scores and his passing is pathetic. A Championship quality player at the very highest, we should have flogged him in the summer and bought Harvey Barnes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Slightest hint of adversity and he's off injured. Please get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 It was not a performance to be proud of. He looks unfit, lightweight, slow and lacking basic skills for a winger. He's a luxury player, if we are 2 or 3 up then he gets some minutes but is just so so terribly bad at most things. It's on emery today, he should never have started and mcginn should have not been moved to accommodate him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i'm honest, I already gave up after the last pre season showing. This is after being encouraged by the one before that. But yeah... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaVilla Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 No way back for Bailey after that. Weakest link going forward, Weakest link in the press. Weakest mentality. Just the weakest link full stop. Hopefully we can sell him to Saudi and get the wide forward upgrade we desperately need to give Ramsey and Diaby some real competition.

AntrimBlack Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Whatever the reason, he is just not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerner's Driver Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 They say wingers are all inconsistent and we should price that in. Has some skill, but he isn't good enough for the Premier League, end of debate. Very weak, easily dispossessed. Altogether disappointing. He's had plenty of chances.

Leeroy Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Such a dire footballer. How was he ever touted as am £80m player? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Really really not getting the hate. He was an outlet today and we looked much worse when he went off. 3 or 4 players were worse than Bailey today.

R.Bear Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 He's had more time than he deserves and nothing changes. He has no future here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Hard to see him come back from this now, Unai has shown faith in him but he’s not taken his opportunity really. I can see him getting dropped for Philogene or a new signing in the next couple of weeks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I don't know how tied in we are with FFP but if we sold him for 20m I think Emery could get in a more suited player for our system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I saw was his poor control and getting knocked over. Opened up the space when diaby hit the side netting. Created a hige amount of space in the middle for Luiz, Kamara and Diaby, Won a corner we had a free header from. And did well defensively despite a lapse leading to the goal. But it's like he wasn't the only one who made a mistake for the first. Kamara did too and he's a CDM. Wingers make mistakes when defending.
