Leon Bailey

[Oklahoma]

He looked out of gas the entire game.

His miss at the end summed Villa up, we were dreadful. A point gained.

Perhaps a loan move somewhere.

I wonder if something has happened in his private life, you don't normally see players sobbing on the floor at the end of a mid season Wednesday night game.

[LukeJames]

He's taken it hard by the looks of it.

He's taken it hard by the looks of it.

He can take it how he likes, a loan spell in the championship might do him good.

For me he looked like a guy who'd been on an all-nighter and was still a bit drunk. I think he's a decent player and I'm happy to keep him around but performances like tonight can't be acceptable and if we can upgrade for someone with 2 feet I'd absolutely take it.

What I find really weird is that, for me, he looks a much better player on the left but he rarely plays there and instead goes to the right where he has no choice but to cut back becuase he's so one-footed.

If only he was half as good as his dad and his agent thinks he is. If someone offered £5m for him i'd carry him there on my own back.

He's been poor since the World Cup break. His shambolic misses against Liverpool and again tonight, poor decision making generally and seeming inability to use his right foot... What really irritated me most was his attitude in just letting Podence (I think it was) run right off him leading to a two on one for another of our players as Wolves then scored, just pointing to Luca Digne to deal with it as his response to their move. You cannot do that at the highest level and it was this that concerned me more than his recent misses. If he doesn't improve that side of his game Emery will have him out of the club. We cannot afford to carry any players.

 I agree, and we're carrying too many players. Buendia, Courtinho and Bailey just don't do it often enough.

Think Coutinho is the best at looking after the ball of the 3 but he needs runners to supply and create space for him. Coutinho has been a world class player. Where he is as a player now I'm not sure, but I'd like Emery to try and get the best out of what remains.

Buendia I'm beginning to think is a better impact player.

Bailey has alot of improvement to do. Consistency, decision making and movement all have to improve. He's shown some quality but it needs to be more consistent, even in game as he can be wildly erratic from one moment to the next. I noticed tonight in the second half that when he was back at right back, Cash wouldn't overlap him as much as we've seen Cash often do since he's been here and I wonder if it's because he thinks that Bailey is going to lose the ball and so wants to be ready to cover that side.

I love him when he's on form, but when he's bad he's fucking shite.

[OzVilla]

Some of the posts on here, Jesus wept.

[Paul.S]

He didn’t have a good game and left his man for their goal. Can’t knock him for his effort as he kept going all game but he wasn’t the only one who didn’t perform.

[eamonn]

How can elite players have such shite weaker feet? Beggars belief.

[rougegorge]

The miss was awful, but I guess he'd done well to get into the position to score. He made one mazy run, but the rest of his play, awareness and determination was lacking, as it is more often than not. 

Wolves knew that if they showed him on to his right foot, there would be little end product.
