WHY Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 This forum gets better, Bailey has gone from looking like he was pulling a cart horse to build a team around the guy in 5 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be building around Buendia. Not that the two players are mutually exclusive; looks how Bueni set up Bailey yesterday. But pacy wide players are easier to find that someone with an eye for the defence-klling pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia is superb at spotting a forward pass into a player who's in space, and crucially, he plays it early. He's honestly such an intelligent player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakemineVanilla Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I loved his goal last night. The camera was right behind him and you could see how he moved the defender and the goalkeeper to where he wanted them, and just passed the ball into the net. A lesser player would have tried to break the net or put some curl on it, and would have probably missed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to say the same . Not even necessarily my own opinion, as I always felt he could eventually come good. However as close as last week he was written off as lightweight, not fast or very good. Now we should build the team around him Football fans are absolute nutters. Obviously I'm happy whenever he does well. Edited August 24, 2022 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's honestly such an intelligent player. I'm personally not sure if we should be " building around " anyone, we've seen how that goes. I'd rather build around our spine and consider the " threats " as accessories. As we know, they do too well and they're potentially off, but if you have a strong spine you're usually good. So I'd rather build an impressive midfield and defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the pair of them could potentially be lethal. As you say, EMI with the well weighted through balls and Leon to run on and finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take nothing seriously as an Aston Villa fan, it’s absolutely mental in here. And that’s why I LOVE IT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Best player in pre season. Goal and Assist already this season. Hit the bar against Palace. Deserves a start over Gerrards favourites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa Gaffa Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Bailey is doing well so far this season considering he is still getting used to the premier league. He gives us some spark and is a goal threat that we need considering our midfield issues at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I liked his piece on the OS talking about how he trusts his body more. Didnt realise this was his 1st pre season in 3 years as he didnt have one last year or year before. Also speaks highly about the villa fans. He is very likeable guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Jamaican accent is unrivalled love listening to him talk Did sound like he went OTT talking about the fans though I hope we can get the atmosphere pumping but we all know how it goes when we’re suffering 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
