Hopefully new contract soon. It's just great to see Emery getting the best out of everyone. Bailey delivering for his boss after the faith he's had in him. Always picked him last season despite other options available.

A nice stat from F365:

'Four goals and three assists in 12 Premier League games is a phenomenal return, considering those 74 minutes against Bournemouth was the most the Jamaican has played in a single match all season.

In combined per 90 terms, only four players have started more than one league game in Europe’s top five divisions and been more productive than Bailey (1.35): Kylian Mbappe (1.44), Deniz Undav (1.67), Serhou Guirassy (1.95) and Harry Kane (1.98).

Even Erling Haaland (1.34) cannot quite touch the Premier League’s biggest attacking threat. And that is without taking Bailey’s three European goals and assists each into account. His turnaround under Unai Emery has been remarkable.'

Despite all that, he'll probably be on the bench tomorrow night because for all the good he did going forward - and he was good - he offered very little protection to Konsa and especially in the first half they just got in again and again and again down that side. If he could be just a little bit better defensively he'd be brilliant. Hopefully he's getting there now.
