Bad comparison, Leverkusen have missed qualifying for Europe once in 15 years They are called Neverkusen for a reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my last post. Still will be a shock if they win the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Villain Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 10 minutes ago, Vive_La_Villa said: Fair enough. Daft comparison. Bayer have never won the league before though so it will be a shock if they pull it off. There is an inside joke in Germany that they are the “almost” team… Always the bridesmaid, never the bride - that kind of thing… Leicester weren’t even the cleaner at the registry office the year they won it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Townsend Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Would you have sold Bailey last year then and missed out on the season he is having now? I suppose some of us are glass have full others are glass half empty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Miles off what he was in the first two months and he has been for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the other option send him to Turkey on loan and not get a penny for him?? Bailey came good after 80% of VT wrote him off as There is talent there, can't deny that. Not going to write the bloke off just yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 It's obvious his confidence is shit. Have we learned nothing from Bailey? We need to back him. We saw how he can play earlier in the season when he didn't have his swagger sapped away from him by the rigors of the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwi1890 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I think he was good before Bailey was subbed off. Doubling up on that right side gave him more space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazmonkey Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 we move the ball to slow for our wingers to have any real impact.....how many times was cash caught one and one compared to Baily and Diarby.....not as near half. We need to get both of them more one on one with the fullback so that we can get the best out of them and that means we need to move the ball faster wide and not allow the fullbacks time to set. Both our wingers get the ball under pressure and often have to check back or pass back...lets get them going forward!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already seen he's got it, he was excellent early doors. Unai also makes players better in the end. Could do with a decent contribution from him still this year though, perhaps especially in the Conference if he's not starting in the league.

He either runs straight into his defender or attempts a cut back that goes straight to a defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 He has the gaffer's support at the very least. He knows he needs time to get up to speed with his performances and in his words he's not "in a hurry to get it". Wish our fans were half as patient as the guy whose job rests on the performance of these players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 We need to be patient. The ability is there, we all saw it at the start of the season. Quite similar to Bailey. It was clear in Bailey's debut against Everton he was an explosive player but he lost his way after that. I really back Emery's team to Diaby firing long term 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 He definitely is afraid of/unable to take players on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bose Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 He’s just insanely lacking in confidence. Uncomfortable watching him play right now. He’ll be brilliant next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxahunter Posted February 17 VT Supporter Share Posted February 17 He is not up for it at the moment, doesn’t have speed, forgets the ball, falls over. We might just as well try Zaniolo or Rogers instead of Diaby, because that doesn’t work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
