Captain_Townsend Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) Genuinely a man transformed. Even January 2023, I remember looking at him in some game and thinking it wouldn't ever click. Now I honestly see a lot of Young, Yorke and Downing in him. Tricky, skilful, strong, pacey, accurate. Reminds me of a mid 90s United type player who could start and do well or be subbed on and do well. Edited February 24 by Captain_Townsend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 He is superb. Just unplayable at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantholtgolazo Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) love how he can look like he’s falling over one second and effortlessly going around a defender the next also im an ocean away from attending matches but even on TV you can hear the collective gasp and the anticipation from the crowd everytime he’s carrying the ball down the wing. special player having a special moment.

Farlz Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Looks absolutely electric right now. Some of the stuff he's doing at the moment is crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 52 minutes ago, sne said: Can't remember seeing a player stumble as much as him in a game and still being that good Was ace today, MOTM in stiff competition with Ollie and Luiz. The stumble is part of the trick. You think he is falling over but he's just baiting the defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 What an assist, and then got a goal as well. He had that impact now when he gets the ball, everyone gets up off their seat expectation, we’ve had that since Ashley Young first stint (yes Grealish, but he didn’t have the pace). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dodgyknees Posted February 24 Popular Post Share Posted February 24 Another Dean Smith era signing that has become super important to us. Martinez, Konsa, Luiz, Watkins, Bailey. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPJCB Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I’d be fascinated to see what’s happened behind the scenes to get him to this level. His entire mentality has changed. Before, even beyond his lack of confidence taking players on, he also had terrible decision making. He’s now very reliable in not giving the ball away. I can’t think of a player who’s transformed for the better in such a short space of time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I just didn’t think that Bailey had the footballing brain to be a success in an Emery team, glad to say I know nothing. He’s playing at an elite level at this moment in time, keep it up Leon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I was always surprised at how bad he was for us. I wrote him off this time last year I think. Unbelievable turnaround 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) I honestly can’t believe how many fans wrote him off. You all saw the ability surely? This is not a told you so post. More a you lot know **** all about football post Nah seriously he’s a guy that needs to be loved. When he’s fit and confident he’s on another level. Last season he had large parts of the crowd on his back and was literally in tears when missed a chance. Now he is being worshiped and he’s embracing it. What a difference a year can make.

MotoMkali Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Think it's worth pointing out that a large part of what had changed is he's now got his fastball back. Which in this case is him just sprinting past opponents. Last year when he tried he often came up lame. So he didn't go round players with pace and just had to rely on cutting inside which became predictable. That plus mroe confidence in his right foot has really turned him back into the player we thought we were signing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted February 24 VT Supporter Share Posted February 24 Some of his through balls are sublime, where did that aspect of his game come from? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the compilation of all our goals from last year he had 5 or 6 that were created by bailey playing a great through ball and that resulting in 1-2 passes and a goal. He's got good vision and knows how to weight a pass especially for quick runners like ollie, Ramsey or diaby. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
