People were raving about Leon bailey a few years back, so what's happened to him? £30m flop it seems

Who the fuck was raving about “Leon Bailey”?

Answer that and the rest will reveal itself to you.

I thought he looked decent in the one game I’ve watched. That was the first actual football I watched after lockdown in an empty stadium.

But I am a fool and used a small sample.

Edit: My post.

[article]I’m watching Bayer vs Bayern. In the build up they showed some goals by Leon Bailey. All I know is he’s 22, Jamaican and scored 19 in 85 appearances for Leverkusen. Is he any good?

He's been injured for much of his first year at Villa. There's no need to swooping to those conclusions. He started pretty brightly from what I saw.
 
So Gerrard - decent first season so far? Or below expectations? Too early to say but just about par no?

To be fair to him, he needs a summer transfer window to really stamp his mark (joined in November or December I think?). Remember Klopp finished 8th in his first season with us when he too joined in the middle of the season.
Considering when he joined, and how differently Villa seems to play under him, I'd say he's done a good job so far.

Good points man

After a good start I'd say he's slightly under delivered. Not by enough to have any talk of moving him on, he's generally liked by the Villa fans I know. But they aren't sold on him yet,just thankful they didn't get Lampard.
 
Villa have a decent squad, but some aren't necessarily appropriate for how Gerrard wants to play I think.

Next season will be interesting
 
I think he got a bit too many new toys.
After a few games he landed on a nice set up and the team was playing well, then he changed the formation to fit Coutinho in better, and the team started to struggle.
Needs a bit more patience I think.
 
He’s done okay I think. They have had a couple of crappy results against teams they shouldn’t be losing to but most of their defeats have been against teams you would probably expect them to lose to.

They are mid-table, which is about right for now.

As has been said, it will be interesting to see what business they do in the summer and how they are next season. That will be the time to judge Gerrard.
 
Yeah, he's done okay. Some very good matches and some poor. All to be expected given its the first year. They've had some injuries as well I think.

Question is, were they a better team without Coutinho? And has signing Digne improved them or could they have gone with Targett for the rest of the season?
 
I was having a word with a Villa season ticket-holder I know earlier today (receptionist at my local gym) and as it happens both those questions came up. She's a fan of Coutinho, expects to lose him to Newcastle and isn't happy about it. The position in respect of Digne is more mixed - in her view he's better than Targett but he's been coming off early with various knocks, so for her the jury's still out on the signing overall.
 
4 losses in a row now, not looking great for Gerrard

What the hell is going wrong for him ? - just don't get this - he cannot get any consistency out of them, ok - they may not be good enough in certain games but even the defensive side is all over the place.
