We might as well have keir starner playing in baileys position  - neither gives us anything in a attacking sense

Absolutely  hopeless

Someone else can do the useless right winger joke.

Has no confidence whatsoever in trying to go past a man. Same as Sancho. Same as Guessand. The first two likely on huge wages. Our recruitment down that right hand side is particularly dreadful.

Can’t go past a man, doesn’t even try because he now knows it’s beyond him. We shifted him on because he wasn’t the required level then and he’s worse now. A complete waste of a shirt.

Leon Bailey plays for Leon Bailey. If he can’t get a shot off, he loses interest. Absolute liability in a team game.

Have to say, as frustrated as I was with Bailey and have been since his return, it was intensely funny watching Emery go absolutely mental at him on the touchline. I don't think I've ever seen him so frustrated, outside of perhaps the Tielemans incident at Fener.

Never want to see him in a Villa shirt again.

Unfortunately Emery feels diff so i fully expect to see Bailey at around 9:15pm on Thursday evening

I saw him in a footballers wife’s tv programme recently and he came across as a right prat

Is that the one where his missus was trying to organise a party and he was just zooming round the garden on a quad bike? If so then yes, total man child.

I'm a a 49 year old, married father of two, and if I had the means that would be my choice in those circumstances as well.

Yeah, I don't see any harm in that. I never understand why, when there are more than enough football-related things to be angry/disappointed with, people desperately look for even more irrelevant things to be angry/disappointed with. Like when were losing every week on our way to relegation and half the forum was obsessing over whether Leandro Bacuna and Jordan Ayew smiled too much/not enough.

Yes but they had lovely sets of teeth and we just wanted them to be the best versions of themselves before Stevie G made it his mantra at Villa.

He is the epitome of a confidence player. After his goal when he near set up Elliott he was moving so much faster.

It's like a switch isn't it? I've never known a player more affected by it.
