Out of some of the total garbage we have littering the bottom end of our squad you’d take away our only proper pace outlet, trickster and wide player with 4 goals and 2 assists in all comps first? quite glad it’s not “up to you” thank you very much.

CVByrne Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I think he's done well this season. He'll improve too. I'd like to reserve decisions on our squad until summer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said if we have a replacement lined up, as it's clear we need attacking reinforcements. He'd be the first to be replaced. He is hit and miss. Lazy. Doesn't have the strength or pace for this league. Let's keep waiting for him to come good though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trolling because I have a different opinion to you. Everyone skipping over the replacement lined up part. If we get a emery attacking signing he goes straight in over bailey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it was for Agbonlahor. How about his first goal for the club in that 3-0 win v Everton, for example? Or this nice stat from the German league website: "Leverkusen's former Jamaican winger set the third-fastest speed since records began in the Bundesliga at the time when he reached 22.62 mph on Matchday 33 of 2019/20 against Hertha Berlin." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvilla28 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Need more from him in my view alot more goes coasting through games sometimes to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anything11 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I remain unconvinced. Looks average aside from moments - needs more consistency. Has a similar thing to Ollie in that if there isn't an obvious pass/move to be made he holds it too long and often loses it or runs into a dead end. Hopefully he improves with the current coaching etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Lazy? Is he ****. At least come up with something truthful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted January 3, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 3, 2023 A confidence player, and the only real disappointment in the last 2 matches. Still, wonderful when on his game. He'll come good as he receives proper coaching and we can "carry" him for a game or so to get his confidence back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. In the bundesliga. Everton goal was a cracker. Great ball from ings and he runs on to it. Cracking finish. Then injured for ages. Every attack we have that's passed to him he runs down a blind alley and loses possession. Most of the time he couldn't trap a bag of cement. He scores some decent goals. But he's another Werner for me. Just not quite good enough for this league. Barely beats a man. Easily muscled off the ball. Emery was screaming at him vs spurs for ball watching. I'd love him to serve me humble pie. But every time I watch him I'm more frustrated than impressed. As a comparison and I've only done a quick google he isn't even in the top 10 fastest premier league players. I think emery will want better and he might be off back to Europe in the summer.

MWARLEY2 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 One of the most inconsistent players we have had in the last few years. But when he is good he is very good. I do not think him playing on the right and cutting in does him any good in the Prem. The defences are too good . I would play him more on the left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 he easily beats a man, 2, 3 men, the issue is when he tries to beat four men and fails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inconsistent is what they do! I love what Bailey brings to the team though and his crossing into the box is generally really good. He'll improve as we've seen with others and will be an important player imo. Edited January 3, 2023 by birdman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of the 'weakest' players I've seen at Villa for some time - maybe alongside El Ghazi in this respect. Just doesn't like a physical battle at all and will often hit the deck under little pressure. It's pretty frustrating at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two games in a row against Man United he was BANG up for the physical challenge. So much so it took for Martinez to physically assault him (twice) to stop him. He's a winger, he will spend a lot of time on the floor, but people peddling this line that he's weak and isn't up for the challenge are just wide of the mark for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, that wasn't because Bailey was being physical, he was just chasing down the ball and doing the standard 'hassling' opponent. Just so happened that Martinez was a prick and decided to elbow him.
