There’s a lengthy interview up on TNT with Leon Bailey (hopefully they’ll put it on YouTube). He said he came to Villa for Dean Smith and got on really well with him, absolutely blasts Gerrard without even mentioning his name, then talks about Unai with such love & praise. Honestly my heart ♥️
Leon the sweetheart talking about (amongst other things) Unai raising his spirits ♥️
The Athletic article from a month or so ago about Bailey’s background and adopted father is brilliant, honestly he deserves so much success, what a fighter. He’s fast become an all time Villa fave, I can’t look away when he has the ball.
All players on my watchlist, not surprised we barely did anything today. There’s a reason I’d raid the Villa cabinet and leave it bare. The speed, skill, and athleticism in this team is better than they’ve shown recently. I think Emery will get more from them for sure. Disappointing loss but I love watching my players perform, I’ll take it. 🧐
