I say this based on the comments his dad made and the attitude he perhaps showed at times last season. Maybe he thought the PL would be easier than it was and he'd be our standout man like he was at Leverkusen. I think reality has hit home now though based on some of his comments on social media. Probably realised the PL is a different beast to the Bundesliga and that he will have to be at the very top of his game to even feature in our starting XI. I don't know because I don't know the individual but I just sensed some arrogance from the very start. I really hope he has a great season and proves his doubters (me included) wrong next year. This seems based on stuff his dad was saying rather than the player himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 He changed the game. The transfers from last summer might come up trumps this season. Emi, Leon and Ings could easily fit into a team together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 And remember this is a very decent united side. Bailey tore them apart. They had no answers for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 If he doesn’t start against Bournemouth I’ll be pissed off esp after that performance today, did more than Watkins and ings put together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there's still the Rennes game first and he'll need to play well in that too in order to reassure SG he can be consistent... There are some who didn’t have a good game so far, and he’s the only one yet to have something to prove? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could we go 4-3-3 with Ramsey and Coutinho as two 8’s and Kamara behind? The idea of Buendia and Bailey as wide forwards is boner worthy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 That was a Leverkeusen performance and is why we spent what we did on him. Thst chance where Maguire blocked it from going in for his second. His first touch was magnificent. Pushed it forward 10 yards and then accelerated onto it. If he had scored that would have been a reverse Theirry Henry 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant Bailey shown good signs in atleast two preseason games, much better than the likes of Watkins. Yet he’s the one who needs to keep showing his worth, while we keep seeing Watkins/Ings partnership failing time after time. That’s an issue which I see a lot of fans usually writing about, some players have really bad form, then they say that 20 minutes from a bench player he should grab and impress. That can be said if we had the whole team firing. We might go into the season and have three games without Watkins scoring, yet a 20 minutes of uncomfortable Archer might mean he’s still not ready for the PL. That’s my only issue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
