Leicester City (0) vs Aston Villa (0) Post-Match Thread

I think Bailey went through the gears once yesterday in the second half and actually did a few people. He looks like he's playing within himself. He doesn't look fit enough to press or sprint, maybe a confidence issue or a fear factor.

We can't afford to write off £30m, so we have to hope a pre-season helps. But we need way, way more. Buendia ought to start against Norwich.

Yep completely agree. I wouldn’t write Bailey off. Clearly he hasn’t done anywhere near enough, but I think the lack of pre-season and persistent niggly injuries have completely disrupted him. It’s hard to adapt to the Premier League anyway, but you couple it with how disrupted it’s been for him and it’s understandable as to why he’s struggled.

I hope he’ll be in a much better place with a full preseason behind him.

Somewhere else, hopefully.

I thought my Dad made an interesting point this morning about our outfield players yesterday namely that our defence cost 50m, our midfield 17m and our attack 53m. Not exactly massive amounts by current PL standards.

We need to persevere with Bailey. He needs a run of games for a start which he hasn't really had. He may not work out but we've paid £25m for him so we might has well give him a chance. Besides, mostly everyone was pretty excited when he signed.

What's the point of hoping he comes good somewhere else?

maybe we could loan him out somewhere, he does well then we flog him for big bucks.

Bailey has looked completely fucked off that he couldn’t carry on the form we saw early on. He’s clearly a confidence and momentum type of player that in full flow he’s outstanding. He’s had a terribly stop start time with us. And as a result looks less this his best. And I don’t think it helps behind the scenes his agent/father in law or whatever he is, is probably in his ear. I still think he needs to be given next season to establish himself. He has more than enough ability

Utter boring crap.
Anyone who thinks this manager is going to get us anywhere is deluded. Talks a good game but thats where it ends. I'd be absolutely amazed if the owners trust him or Lange with sacks of money this summer.

Time to look at other options.

I thought Watkins was better yesterday.  Difficult job to do when Gerrard's putting ten men behind the ball. Nearest teammate to him was Bailey which isn't a good thing either.

May I suggest VillaTalk.

We know there is a player there, but he does  not fit in to the Gerrard way of playing.  (playing a narrow game without reliance on wide players).  Not sure why he's getting picked if he can't play his  game - frustrating for the coaching staff, the player, the team and us.
