Should leave James in the halfway line for their corners... make two p!ayers stay back with him

We should leave James in the dressing room for the second half!

TrustInJanuzaj · Jan 9, 2021

Bailly just can’t catch a break though can he? So unlucky but it just seems to happen to him more than anyone else. Played well up till then too. Doubt it will keep him out long though.

Bailly injured. Rush to the Ole Out thread for some.

Only to discover it no longer exists

Its him

Tough to do as a keeper — especially at a side with a back line who hasn’t been used to such a keeper, well, ever, as De Gea is the definition of glued to his line.

What are you talking about, I was never convinced with Smalling.

Bailly off injured, and this is exactly why you can't ever build a defensive unit around Bailly, and he should never be relied upon as anything other than an emergency stop gap. He's simply one of the most injury prone players ever. He and Jones need to be shipped out asap. It's a waste of time for everyone.

That injury was not his fault at all.

I am totally sick of watching Eric Bailly getting injured. He just wastes a substitution when he starts.

I hope we get rid of him as soon as we can . Totally waste of space

Disgraceful post. He got a knee to the head for fecks sake.

Andersonson · Jan 9, 2021

Luckily we have Axel fit so we have another back up. Bailly wouldnt be starting against Pool anyways.

Lets hope he is okay, it was an ugly situation

Bailly seems to put himself in a lot of situations where he can get injured.

Easy first half hour for the team, but Watford have come into the game since, it’s been difficult defending at times but we have got by so far. Really need to get back on the ball and get the 2nd, a little more penetration needed.

Agreed. Need Ighalo on for Lingard in the second half.

Dan James is crap. The definition of a Championship player.

Yea, and Dean did it in a jump, so even more power...

It could have been anyone’s head Henderson’s knee rammed into.

How has he looked dodgy?

At least he comes off his line unlike DDG.

TrustInJanuzaj said:
He’s looks assured and dealt with that situation well. Just because De Gea stays rooted to his line doesn’t mean that’s the correct way to play in goal.

He looks like he's about to drop a clanger every time he comes near the ball. He's flapped at a couple of crosses already and the 50/50 he almost lost with Sarr was entirely unnecessary.

Exactly, can't rely on a player that takes knee to the head and needs to come off as a result. Ship him out !

I think it's actually less, because gravity takes away some of that power

Henderson doing Pepe on Bailly. Poor lad he is cursed

It never is his fault. No one said it was. He's just always injured though isn't he? Always. Can never string more than about three games together. It's inevitable.

Have a word with yourself. Some of you pricks are actually blaming him for this. You should be ashamed of yourselves

He doesn't give me any confidence. Doesn't look like a player with aftually a lot of PL games under his belt.

Tony247 · Jan 9, 2021

Looking at some comments on Bailly not sure if some people are actually watching the game or just reacting on the forum...

RedDevil@84 · Jan 9, 2021

FortBoyard said:

He is pretty unsure and looks like trying too hard to prove he is ready for the big job.

Or

This is his usual self. Which means he will never be good enough to take up the big job from Dave.

Put Sarr in our side for a swap with James.

Doesn't he need a load of cards now? The number goes up after Jan 1st doesn't it? 5 cards before then and it's a ban, but then it moves up to 10 cards in jan ? Or am I talking absolute bollocks again?

Edit: Gameweek 19 apparently.

“Any player earning five bookings from their side's first 19 Premier League matches will serve a one-match ban in the same competition. Yellow cards are not carried over to the EFL Cup or FA Cup.

Players who accumulate 10 yellow cards in PL matches up to and including their team's 32nd fixture will serve a two-match suspension in the competition.”

Burnley is GW 17 for us.

That’s how modern keepers play. They get off their line! Also how was it unnecessary when he won the ball cleanly and stopped an attack. That’s good keeping.

GledTheRed · Jan 9, 2021

Please sell Dan James as he is useless.

One Night Only · Jan 9, 2021

Bastian said:
Actually, you could be right. Let's wait for some expert to comment.

It's after Gameweek 19/match day 19. So we got 3 league games before they're extended the cards thing. Just had a quick check.

Dean Henderson is going to get stick because lovely little dearest Bailly got injured again.

Yeah tend to agree with you.

Every time I see him play I don’t feel massively confident in him, not as much as I expected with the way he was so hyped by our fans.

I saw very little of him when he was on loan.

Usually I agree, today that’s just bad luck. He knows nothing about it and is positioned correctly.

eire-red · Jan 9, 2021

Unlucky for Bailly, but I'm sure it's more precaution than anything.

Potentially unnecessary from Hendo, but I still liked seeing him come out and clear everything in his path like that, we don't see enough of that from DDG.

Van de Beek needs to be closer to goal, it's where he comes alive.
