osmark86 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Leon with all the swag today. What a performance! Hope he's not injuried please, we can't be this cursed..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Very good game. Loves it against Everton but more importantly seems to come alive in home games. Keep him out of away games and unleash at Villa Park sounds a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a confidence issue which i think will solve itself. He started great what the **** are you talking about. Like he made one mistake and everyone was on his back. The other was him trying to cut it back to diaby to step onto but diaby was wrong foot forward initially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Truth is Bailey can dominate lower teams and if teams sit back at home, he can turn and get into his stride. It’s when we’re under the kosh and you’re asking him to hold up the ball or win these shoulder duels. He should be a rotational player depending on the opponent as he’s shown that if the opponents let him turn, then he can get going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Such a confidence player. Never quite seen someone affected like he is. It almost seems to even affect his balance. I have a feeling he knew he'd done well against Everton before and that gave him the ammunition to feel confident today. Hopefully he can use it as a boost for other games coming up.

Saw him limping slightly by the tunnel after the game. Hopefully just a bit sore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit I have a bias, as I am sick of the criticism he is getting here. So I always looking for the positives. But even with my positive bias, I though he started poorly. I'll accept that others see things differently. Maybe because I like him so much, that I expect more from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeroy Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 It's a shame his home performances aren't replicated when he plays in away games. I don't think he has ever got a goal or an assist away from home for us although I may be wrong on that. Really weird and I hope he can change that. He's clearly not suited for build up play but when we get him in a dangerous position he has the quality to do some damage. Still an important squad player moving forward.

DCJonah Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Superb today. Maybe diaby will help bring the best out of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Much better today... Possibly more of a 'home' player or against so-called lesser opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
