messi11 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Not his best game but was still dangerous. Needs to bring his shooting boots next week 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STO Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 He needs to bring his shooting boots every week Messi11. Way too inconsistent but when it comes off, he's special to watch. I am not sure whether he needs better players around him or whether this is as good as he's going to be. Hope for the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, Bert isn't even performing in Turkey at the moment. As much as I love Bert, i don't think there is a question of who the better player is when both are on form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i said, I was shocked at the state of his finishing, usually he eats chances like that up. For some reason he kept trying with his weaker foot as well. In general, he looks fit and quick again, just wasn't there mentally today I feel. It just wasn't clicking or working. I think he will be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turvontour Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I have a really consistent theme/take in a lot of these threads. Whether it's now, last month or last year. Buendia, Watkins and Bailey are £25 mil players in the premier league. Which is essentially nowadays mid table or lower midtable standard players. And wow, low and behold, we are 12th in the league. Watkins isnt going to score most of the chances he has, Bailey will disappear or blow hot and cold in a lot of games etc etc. They're all performing to their value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever seen him have a good game there. Indeed. His great games, or at least great moments, have come from him on our left. He had a mare today, but the effort was there and we know the quality can be. Putting it down to one of those off days and hopefully see him back to his quality best at the next.

ChesterDad Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 We’ll be playing the Bailey waiting game a long time imo. He has had enough opportunities to prove himself now. I do believe he will go down in the flatters to deceive category like so many wingers. He has talent - it’s there in fleeting glimpse, but he is nowhere near as good as he or his Dad thinks he is. The comparisons with Bertie will rumble on. For me I would take Bert’s inconsistency over Baileys, however I acknowledge that for others it’s reversed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 He’s growing on me. I think he’s dangerous and with a few additions around him, I think he’ll shine. Probably our best attacking player tbh. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danceoftheshamen Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Dunno what happened to him today, he was doing good things apart from the key moments which he fluffed in quite embarrassing fashion. It was like a total lack of composure / panic at the key moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 He's getting into great positions that's all what matters. We all know he can bang and finish! I think he will score against the spuds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
