Its been a long day - but it got me thinking, I wonder if he would be a better wingback then winger ala charles nzogbia,lololol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dressing room must be terrible place right now It would be nice to think he wants to fight to keep his place,but hes more likely thinking oh well why bother. Their all mentally soft and weak.

Delphinho123 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I’m not a massive fan of Bailey but I’m convinced he’s being used incorrectly. He almost can only play as a right winger. Somebody who hugs the touchline and wants to run at his man. I think we’ll see more from him if he plays in that position. As a no.10, I think he’s pretty poor tbh. So far, it’s been a poor signing.

I haven't seen the chance where he hit the bar but he is sounding all the more dangerous this season. How was his overall game? The header for Watkins goal was brilliant and the shot that hit the bar was great too. Apart from that his overall game was pretty poor, getting dispossessed and failing to get past opponents. Still looks a bit lightweight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me his strength seems more to be shooting from distance. About Sarr coming in as another RW, at least their best foot isn’t the same (Sarr right-footed) so Sarr and Bailey could theoretically play either as traditional wingers or inverted.

He desperately needs width to operate but has to share the wide areas with Cash. For large sections of the first half he was tucking inside only a couple yards from Watkins. Pretty much making decoy runs so Cash could get wide open and spray an aimless cross into the box. And assault the full back’s shins. Cash’s quality on the ball is not that good.

Bagged an assist and cracked the crossbar completely off his skill alone. Did more than anyone else on the pitch from an attacking perspective. Steven playing him as a CF which also does him zero favors. If Steven got Eze he would look just as bad. Probably have him at FB or somewhere else dumb. Just because I didn’t rate Traore, who you may have noticed has been loaned to a random club nobody has ever heard of, it doesn’t mean I should rate Bailey. Bailey has been a poor signing. He may turn it around, he may not, but let’s not kid ourselves into thinking it has worked out yet because it hasn’t. The only difference between him and Traore is that Bailey is hampered by a god awful system. In that regard, I feel for him. He’s not a no.10 and never will be. Will find himself on the bench again I imagine next week. Edited August 21, 2022 by Delphinho123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 He's asked to play Central where there is no space for him to exploit with his pace and dribbling. He also starts one game, then dropped, then back in. That's not how someone who basically missed a whole season of football is going to get up to speed. Nearly scored a wonder goal. Get him out wide with a similar player on the other side. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whole thing is a mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted August 21, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2022 With very little evidence (seen Sarr only play against us) I say Sarr is better than Leon and Leon either plays elsewhere or sits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey would be a great outlet against teams playing a high line, but no one's going to do that when half our team are camped and congested in the opponents half, leaving a huge gap behind them. If we can create from deeper areas, then players like Ramsey and Bailey could be more effective when running at defenders, or into space.

Demitri_C Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Wow leons getting a rough ride. Guy ost scored one of the goals of the seasons and gets a assist. He did well but struggled because of the shite tactics by gerrard. Needs to be adopted as a **** winger ffs. He is deadly with space 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Bailey and sarr would be deadly as wingers/inside wingers in a 433 or 4231. The problem is System Steve doesn't play like that, so no idea what qe are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven seems to be chopping and changing his front 3 almost at random now. Probably in a state of panic he is going to go back to Watkins/Ings with Coutinho supporting but honestly at this state who has any clue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
