[crowd cheering] Up ahead, number 10, 22, Leon Bailey.
speaker_2NARRATOR
[crowd cheering] Striker, number 29, Ollie Watkins.
Dan BardellHOST
[crowd singing] Honestly, like what is this absolute rubbish? The team now going to do a huddle by their bench by the park.
Rob WarnerGUEST
I felt we only saw flashes of him with the ball, but he's able to put the ball into a space between two opponents and run onto it because he's so quick.
Rob WarnerGUEST
We've not had anybody able to do that since Leon Bailey at the beginning of 2024.
Rob WarnerGUEST
Now the 23, 24 season, the beginning of the 24 calendar year was probably the last time we had somebody that was capable of doing that.
Rob WarnerGUEST
So that was encouraging.
Phil ShawHOST
That would have been a great Instagram post, not this aristocratic nonsense about, oh, my body has reacted to the increased workload.
Phil ShawHOST
And I'm just like, oh, Leon,
David MichaelHOST
no.
David MichaelHOST
What,
12 MINS LATER
Phil ShawHOST
They're just being smart with him.
Phil ShawHOST
They're just managing him.
Phil ShawHOST
This is why you wanted Leon, I don't know if he'll ever be ready, Goretzka, to come in for Kamara in this situation.
Phil ShawHOST
And not poor Barkley, but then he can draw the fire from the online fan base and let everybody else have a good game.
Alexis NunesHOST
Uh, Mauricio Pochettino looks like he's slapping me on the head right now-
Alejandro MorenoPANELIST
Oh, boy
Alexis NunesHOST
... with this one, so we're probably gonna end this discussion, uh, right now.
Alexis NunesHOST
Jeff Carlisle, thank you so much for hanging out with us.
13 MINS LATER
Alexis NunesHOST
I will like you to know-
Alejandro MorenoPANELIST
[laughs]
Alexis NunesHOST
... that my boy Leon Bailey has also signed with Olympiacos, so let's hope he makes these highlights-
Alejandro MorenoPANELIST
All right
Alexis NunesHOST
Cup.
Alexis NunesHOST
I would like you to know that my boy Leon Bailey has also signed with Olympiacos, so let's hope he makes these highlights as well.
Alexis NunesHOST
Ale, algo salgo.
Ale MorenoHOST
No, I know.
14 MINS LATER
Alexis NunesHOST
On goal, indeed.
Alexis NunesHOST
26 minutes though, don't you worry.
Alexis NunesHOST
Our boy, cool, calm, collected and getting the equalizer.
Alexis NunesHOST
It
Dan BardellHOST
... of, of, of the attack, because obviously we've got Tamy Abraham this time round.
Dan BardellHOST
But two of them options l- last season, the second half of the season, were Bailey and Elliott, who was nev- nowhere near it.
Neil DunworthGUEST
And Sancho.
Neil DunworthGUEST
Three-
Neil DunworthGUEST
Sancho had some, had some decent games.
Dan BardellHOST
He did.
Neil DunworthGUEST
But, like, we knew, we knew we weren't going to see Harvey Elliott, and we all knew that Leon Bailey was only there because-
Dan BardellHOST
Gassana was rubbish
Aristidis BouloubassisHOST
We have a lot of different attacking profiles.
Aristidis BouloubassisHOST
Uh, you know, consider the players that we've signed, right? Leon Bailey, okay, he's not healthy right now, but when he's available.
Aristidis BouloubassisHOST
Gelson Martins, Jota Silva, João Rocha.
Aristidis BouloubassisHOST
Okay, yes, he has a dislocated shoulder, but he'll be back.
Aristidis BouloubassisHOST
And that's why I, I, I, right now, I'm of the belief that a 4-1-4-1 or 4-3-3 would probably be a better structure and formation in the beginning than, than forcing the team to try to do his 4-4-2 diamond.
Aristidis BouloubassisHOST
There's just genuinely too much wide talent available.
Aristidis BouloubassisHOST
Now, Bailey or Gelson can provide the width that allows, you know, a- again, assuming Bailey, whenever Bailey gets healthy, they provide the width that allows the midfielder to attack inside.
Aristidis BouloubassisHOST
We know Jota can a- Jota Silva can also operate those spaces.
LukeHOST
Emery's sort of gone into Glasner and sort of tried everything.
LukeHOST
He's matched up with Leon Bailey at right wing back for that game at Sellers Park.
LukeHOST
I'll never forget that.
LukeHOST
That game, we were close to doing something.
Aristidis BouloubassisHOST
And also, when you just saw how he, how he moved the ball around, he was also aggressive winning the ball too, something we talked about in the scouting report.
Aristidis BouloubassisHOST
I mean, this guy, we talked about Leon Bailey being one of the best in the Greek League, if not the best player in the Greek League be- with the way that he runs at players, h- his speed, assuming he's healthy.
Aristidis BouloubassisHOST
I mean, right now, Puerta's easily the best player in the Greek League.
Aristidis BouloubassisHOST
I, I'm sorry.
Greg OramHOST
I mean, Daniel Marlin, gone.
Greg OramHOST
Leon Bailey, gone.
Greg OramHOST
I mean, that is a lot of talent that has been shipped out of Aston Villa.
Greg OramHOST
You know, think about when we played them last season, both at City Ground, when we got the 1-0 win, but it was pretty tight.
