We all know Bailey is a class act.
On fire. Thank you the El Mastero arm round him in training has worked wonders.

After the filming had stopped, he could have removed the arm and shouted "Now sort your act out you twat!" for all we know.

This guy is unique in my opinion. I was thrilled when we signed him and he's proven how talented he is.
This season hes outperformed Jack Grealish who replaced and even though Leon has been inconsistent today he scored with another flawless finish that is of the highest calibre.

Although he's not the most durable player, Bailey still has his best years ahead of him and is a dynamic attacking player who can deliver. I'm excited with his talent.

He was excellent today as he was against Brentford.

The upturn in form and change in attitude in such a short time has been remarkable, and it can't all be attributable already to the effects of better coaching.

The composure and movement for that goal, top class.

Four Premier League goals, one each under Smith, Gerrard, Danks and Emery.

Has to be a record of some sort. Let's hope it ends at four.

We didn't use this guy properly at all last year. What a wasted season 21-22 was.

Was really good today and took his goal really well.  Just needs to produce that kind of performance on a consistent basis.

All at the Holte End aswell.

Its taken a while but he seems to be turning into the player most of us were wishing for at Villa Park. Hopefully he can adapt under Emery to improving away from home aswell.

And the finish of course. Agreed, it was another one of those moments where you can see just how good he really is when it clicks for him. If he can play like he did in the first half yesterday 60% of the time even, we have a hell of a player on our hands.

His goal yesterday and the one against Everton show how to finish one on one against the keeper. Perhaps he could give Ollie a few tips?.

I'd say he looks a better forward than he does a winger to be honest. His shooting is first rate, and he looks better running onto balls near the area than he does taking people on from the wings.
