brummybloke Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 15 hours ago, MotoMkali said: He was not. He tracked back, and did more with the poor service he got than any of our other players aside from digne and Luiz. He had one error where him Watkins miscommunicated but that's on Watkins just as much as Bailey. Sorry but we clearly watched a completely different match. Bailey like alot of others just stood there, doing nothing, not closing down not blocking space no effort to intercept or engage and when he did have the ball did one crossfield pass. That's it. It was terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Useful member of the squad (so much better at home than away though, but I expect he will improve over the course of the season) but he is not as good or as intelligent as Diaby and Zaniolo… our attack will be much improved if we can rely on those two consistently… JJ to come back too… he will help massively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Leon's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde home and away is stark. Leon has 6G/4A in 1,470 minutes (16 full matches) at home so a G+A every 133 minutes. Not terrible - basically a goal or assist every other match. Leon has 1G/3A in 1,562 minutes (17 full matches) away so a G+A every every 390 minutes. Atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) Bailey is decent against the weaker teams but shit against stronger team and away from home. Pretty much like a lot of our players but as his job is to create / score chances he will always get more stick than others.

Popular Post lexicon Posted September 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2023 And yet another goal for 'bang average' Bailey after playing a big part in our comeback. 'B-b-but but he was poor against Haiti' 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Listen, if we’re at home, play Bailey. I don’t know, he must just like the quick commute to the stadium and back. But the numbers don’t lie. Play him at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Another great performance from him tonight. Hopefully he keeps on proving us all wrong (myself included in this). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Did well mostly today, nicely taken goal. This shows why competition is important, he must have been extra determined after starting on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 If you only watched his games at VP under Emery you'd ask why he wasn't playing with a CL club 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 To be honest if you isolated his performances just on the start of the season you'd say we have a quality player on our hands. I hope he continues to find confidence and do well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwi1890 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Made the point several times last season that Emery wouldn’t persevere with him if he didn’t rate him. His role in the team now suits him perfectly 7 appearances 6 goal contributions so far this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
