Leon Bailey

maybe that's why he looks finished now....

May I suggest he gets up at 3am tomorrow and walks 30 miles away from Bodymoor. Then keeps going

Let a player go on loan because he’s not very good then bring him back from his loan where he’s not been very good. Whoever thought that was a good idea needs firing.

In defence of the club, we didn't bring him back, he was sent back with all expenses covered until June.

Roma probably can't believe their luck in their dealings with us recently. It's only fair they let us through if we play them in Europa.

You wish. They're fully determined to win the thing.

[JUAN PABLO]

I dread to think of the wages he has had off us , for one decent season in 4 1/2 seasons

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

From Townsley/Brum Live:

Emery was visibly angry with Bailey the moment he lost possession on the counter-attack, jumping up and down and seemingly trying to rip his coat off. His pass to Morgan Rogers was easily intercepted, allowing Cunha to run past Ezri Konsa and beat Emi Martinez to score.

It is difficult because it was an exciting moment,” Emery explained when asked about why he went ballistic at Bailey. “Leon Bailey, just before, he did a good action to Abraham, creating a very good chance.

“When we got in transition, we were not really dominating. They had more defenders than we had attackers.

In this action, Leon Bailey was alone with Luke Shaw, and there were two players with Morgan Rogers. I was trying to get Bailey to stop and get passes to get positioning in attack.

“Why? We planned before that the transition of them [United] is really fantastic. In this moment, the match was being played through the emotions. Maybe if Abraham scored, we’d be speaking now differently.

“We needed to control the game like we did in some moments in the game. I can’t tell nothing to the players, because I know the effort they are doing to recover their confidence and getting our structure stronger again.”

Always think it's harsh blaming a goal on a forward losing the ball at other end of pitch. Rogers and Bailey both lost the ball poorly before their first two goals but a lot happened afterwards that wasn't their fault. Bailey looks in need of an exorcism to rediscover what brought him this far in the game. Forgot it was his good play that Tammy should have finished from. Should have been his third assist.

I agree, forwards have to be able to take risks. If they don't, people moan that they 'played it safe', and should've attacked with more panache etc.

Yeah, at least three players gave the ball away in the sixty seconds or so before Bailey got tackled. They weren't all surrounded by Man U players and finding themselves with nobody to pass to because Abraham went down, like he was.

In pretty much exactly the same situation a few weeks ago, he chose to play safe and give it to a player behind him and most of the Holte were giving him dogs abuse for passing back.

Thought Bailey should have played it safe that time, mind and checked back inside. Rogers in his current form would have just lost the ball anyway.

That’s true as a general comment, but it doesn’t alter the fact that Bailey is a very poor footballer who shouldn’t have been on the pitch.
