The team isn't playing well in attack at the moment so our attacking players aren't going to be shining 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I think his game is more suited to the counter attack. He struggles when it comes to running at players who sit deep and show him onto his week foot. I'd start him against Leeds 100% as they will leave room in behind that he can exploit and we can catch them on the transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a stinker the other day but he looked frustrated and knew it. I'm sure he'll be desperate to make amends. Looks like our main goal threat at the moment too seeing as our "strikers" are as useful as a chocolate fireguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 A few good games, a crap game but we scrape 3 points. All wasn't lost on the bad performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All wasn't lost on the bad performance Can't justify his performance because we won the game, we could have been out of sight if he didn't keep losing the ball, I've heard a lot of people say he is more suited to games like city where he is playing on counter, but in this game there was lots of moments like this. It's clear he needs to put some work in the gym to bulk a bit. the reason he frustrates me so much is because it's clear that there is a real player in him (unlike traore who was all tricks very little end product), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Back on topic, I transferred Bailey in on FPL on Friday morning, so I'll take the blame for his performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 He's going to feast against Leeds. Have a feeling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little brace out of nowhere and a performance where he’s unplayable. Its been frustrating with the stop-start nature of his time here. Cant believe we’ve only been treated to 2 goals and a few assists in that time. We might aswell have kept Grilledfish for those sort of numbers. At least he’s kept fit and the best is yet to come, still got hopes he can find his form from Germany soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see absolutely nothing in Bailey to suggest he is a better player - as for no end products, surely you can recall his finish at West Brom.? I still find it incredulous that Gerrard in his infinite wisdom thought it a good idea to ship him out. We are one of the most boring, uninspiring teams to watch right now - At least Bertie gave me hope and lifted my spirits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) Yeah, saying Traore had no end product is very harsh and IMO simply not true. He was very clever and effective in the final third. I know it's been said a million times but 14 goal contributions in his first season supports this. I do like Bailey though, they're just different players. Traore was certainly more effective for us (pre injury issues) than what Bailey has been so far though. Once we get the midfield sorted (will need Gerrard to go for that), hopefully Bailey will pick up. Edited September 23, 2022 by Tom13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icouldtelltheworld Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) If Traore is being castigated for a lack of end product then I really do wonder what people are seeing in Bailey. I think he has the potential to be a good player, but he hasn't given us a fraction of what Traore did in his first season, and tbh given the choice between the two of them ATM I don't think I'd opt for Bailey Bailey would of course be helped if we had a manager who believed in actually using wingers to provide width Edited September 23, 2022 by icouldtelltheworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Traore has offered more to Villa than Bailey. I honestly don’t see how Bailey is any better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 He’s been so bad again. Get him off at half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Rubbish again. Far too many flashes and nowhere near enough consistency. I just dont think he's going to make it here. His footballing IQ is low too. Just tried to do the same thing all the time regardless of what or who is around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Yeah starting to think this guy ain't all that, had my reservations since he signed. However Buendia needs to start over him, offers way more going forward and in defence. Still think Traore is better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
