useless Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Seems like a controversial opinion but I didn't think he was that bad today. More annoying thing is his injury. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Loan him to a promoted side next season and let him prove himself there. We can't afford to give him minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More annoying thing is his injury. I don't think he was terrible, but we notably got better once he went off. Now maybe that's the formation, not just Bailey, but it's a pretty big problem that he really doesn't fit in any of Gerrard's preferred formations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 He's rubbish, has been all season and that suddenly won't change now. I'd be perfectly fine if he was sold in the summer. Just bizarre that he's starting games over Buendia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 The reason he starts over Buendia is because I think Gerrard is worried that we lack pace with both Buendia and Coutinho on the pitch in the wide (ish) areas. He also wants a proper look at Bailey. The problem is, Buendia is twice the player and Bailey is always injured. I wouldn’t be bothered at all if he was sold in the Summer - looks a very limited player and he’s had an awful season. I remember when his step dad was talking about Villa being a stepping stone… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) The bad thing is that he looked non committal with his pace knowing the tackle was coming and then ended up the wrong side of the tackle anyway There's a player there, there isn't the patience though, give him a fair chance and he'll be fine but he won't get that fair chance Edit - and in no way has he "had a season" Edited April 30, 2022 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moments of brilliance against Everton look a very long way away now, but we'd be having a different conversation if it wasn't for a class save from Krul Edited April 30, 2022 by Davkaus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) I didnt think he was that bad was unlucky not to score. Got injured had to go off. Not really his fault? Edited April 30, 2022 by Demitri_C 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Not for me, he's no doubt got some skills, but I think he needs to go back to a easier league to excel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Played terribly once again and I wouldn't be surprised if he just gave up in that first half. Like others he does not deserve to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be bothered at all if he was sold in the Summer - looks a very limited player and he’s had an awful season. I remember when his step dad was talking about Villa being a stepping stone… honestly, i wondered if Gerrard knew we were probably safe, so is playing Bailey to see if he fancies him with a run of games to get up to speed, with a mind to reviewing him for next season, and whether he is part of his plans. I also wondered if Buendia is 100% part of his plans, so he isnt giving him as much game time towards the end of the season, as he already knows he likes him (ie: he told Emi, you are part of my plans, but i need to see what the others players can do - like Bailey) I dunno, maybe im........trying to justify it in my own head.

sidcow Posted April 30, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2022 I don't think we'll see him in a Villa shirt again. Looked to me more like he wanted off when the crowd got on his back than he was injured to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Not looking good for mr bailey. I guess give him a proper preseason but don't have too much confidence for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said " We think this is the correct next step in Leons career " or something like that. Ever since then, due to a combo of people not liking Craig Butler, and Leon not performing/ being injured often , it keeps getting regurgitated, even though it was debunked AT THE TIME ffs. Not once have any of them said we are a stepping stone ffs. I do clearly remember the likes of Gana Gueye and Benteke saying that though.

rbcuk Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Was a cracking save from Krul as that shot from him was going top corner, he can never get a break now with another injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newry_Villan Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 When he signed the hype from his dad made it sound like we were signing a top, top player and Bailey is doing us a favour by signing. Looking like a flop so far but we all should know each player is different when it comes to settling in and performing. Stan for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
