AntrimBlack Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 17 hours ago, Philosopher said: I think it had as much to do with Luiz going off for Buendia. As soon as Buendia came on they scored a their second. The DM or one of the two central midfielders infront of the DM is supposed to help defend in those counter attack situations. Not really fair to blame Bailey in that situation as he had been fouled at the start of the counter! Bailey is looking sharper now. He was definitely better then Buendia. Pushing for a place soon i think. He is nowhere near as good as Buendia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he has nothing like the energy of either of them, and is defensively poor. He would basically be best as an old-fashioned centre forward.

Hindsight and all but voting against 5 subs was probably not in our best interest this season. Why cabt ings last 90 minutes? My understanding its not to do with his fitness just that he opts to keep ollie instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably needs a summer and then a bit of luck with injuries/suspensions to get a run in the first XI before we'll ever really know what he's capable of in the Premier League. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he needs to pack on some muscle. It might slightly affect his top pace, but it will have him better equipped for the rigors of this League and the competitors. As he still has the skill. He wouldn't need to go full Adama either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed fitness since Danny does a lot of running off the ball. You may be right as well so I'm not sure. Either way I really hope we implement the 5 subs rule next season. Kinda pointless to have all this quality on the bench otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 51 minutes ago, MCU said: I know he was number 9 for Leverkusen but did he ever play down the middle? I'm slightly worried he's going to fall out of favour here and that's nothing against him. We're spoilt for choice in the attacking area now and I feel the pressure will really be on him to impress when he gets the odd 20 minutes here and there. I think he's a quality player and we really need to try and adjust squeezing him in somewhere otherwise he'll be off. I know he's been injured lately but looked quite sharp when he came on yesterday. From what I saw there he was generally wide right and would hit double figures with a few assists thrown in for likes of Patrick Schick. A terrific player for a counter attack system.....when 100% fit. Have Jamaica called him up even though they can't make the WC? Watch him get injured and miss the rest of the season.

abdulaziz1 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 His potential is frightening, I can’t see anyone apart from Coutinho can offer much better. Buendia to compete though. He just needs to fix some decision making (such as his shot rather than send it to Young), although his shots are perfect as well. I’d like to see him roaming upfront as a second striker, I think he’d be very effective. Has to start against Arsenal as we’ll be counter attacking them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted March 14, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 14, 2022 Was rusty, and sometimes not on the same page as the rest of the team. Weak for their second, but did some really nice work too. Needs to play more, match fit and sharp he'll be a great asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Vardy, is a whippet of a man....but he uses his best attributes, to scare the bee jaysus out of most defenders. You can be a fast sprinter to do that.....but you have to have the sharp brain and first touch to capitalise, too...he has all that. Gabby had the pace to die for.....just didn't have the brain of Vardy. Edited March 14, 2022 by TRO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Was it at least partly his fault we conceded the first goal yesterday? West Ham created an overlap down his flank which gave them the space to pick out the cross, had Ings still been on we may not have conceded it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too harsh to put any blame on him for that goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
