Looks quicker than he's shown before, with a much nicer first touch.

Was really unlucky with his effort last night.

Confidence and getting over those injuries. He’s Looking like the Bundesliga Bailey we signed, I think Emery is also managing him perfectly.

Yeah, that touch was sublime.

He’s a proper impact sub now, isn’t he? Often changes the game, far more confident. Still isn’t great at beating his man IMO, but those gambles are better when the defence is tired and Bailey is fresh.

Weaker foot as well

Yeah I'm kind of obsessed with it. Even watched it on 0.25 playback speed on YouTube 🤣

If he brings it down dead, the defender may recover. It's coming over his head from a great height, at full stretch, weaker foot and less than a second later he gives himself a glorious chance on his preferred foot. It's pure magic.

Such a streaky, confidence player. Or maybe that's just forwards/wingers in general. Playing with a swagger right now. 

It is. No player plays well when they're out of confidence, it's just that mental fortitude is a powerful asset that is easy to lose and hard to build up or recover. Leon, much like Digne, weathered the storm, didn't give up and is in good form now. The added bonus is the life lesson of overcoming this adversity, which should serve him well in the long run.
