Hank Scorpio Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I think he needs dropping. Playing him when he's this low on confidence and out of form is only going to make things worse . Wait when that happens his dad starts gobbing off again. He didn't come to villa to sit on the bench etc. Well mate we didn't want to spend 30+ million on some one paced gimp who can't cross, beat a man, has a foot like a 50 pence and is as weak as a feather.

gwi1890 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 The amount of times he takes a man on and they get a touch on the ball is staggering, he doesn’t pass and move but it was the correct decision to start him tonight in a attempt to build his confidence. Emery clearly seen something in him and we’ve all seen glimpses I really hope he turns things around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He "creates chances" in the sense that he makes a pass into dangerous areas but the pass is rarely a good one. For instance, the cutback to Ings. If he sends it to him with pace, Ings is able to get a shot off. Instead he gingerly rolls it to him and allows the defender to break it up.

MaVilla Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Someone ring his dad and tell him to get that big move he apparently turned down in the summer. Honestly, this guy is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I like Bailey and think that he has an upside to him (as shown by his sublime finish against Utd), but his confidence is shot. He can't have any complaints at this stage if he's dropped to the bench and used as an impact sub for a while until he can prove he has turned the corner.

Or, the previous "manager" left us with one winger at the club so Unai currently has little choice. He'll be benched as soon as the club has managed to get in someone Unai actually wants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont understand why he has to always put power into his shots. Against utd his finosh was less power and he scored. Its like between him and countinho they trying to get goal of the season but instead the only thing they are winning is 1st person to hit the ball to the moon trophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strog Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I rarely turn on players but this bloke should spend some time playing for the under 21s. On the whole he’s been awful.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree here this can’t be pinned on confidence now when it’s been pretty much the same for a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 When he's played on the left, he actually sprinted down the line. When he plays on the right, he's always cutting back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be lying if I said I’ve seen a minute of him playing but his stats and goal returns look good. Bailey and sancho have both struggled since their moves to England for different reasons, I just don’t think baileys suited to the premier league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'd be much more effective on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
