I'm not sure why but I really liked this moment during the last game from Bailly. It's rare to really enjoy watching a central defender but this guy has such a swagger to his game.

Going to have to disagree with you on Pique, he has cost Barca way too much in the last few seasons for me to consider him near the level of those others. A few of my Barca supporting mates have started absolutely despising him, especially after how much he runs his mouth. Agree with the other four though and would add in Chiellini
he turned 23 in april
that's a great moment of defending. restricted attacker's options without committing early, made sure there was no space between his legs, and remembered to get his hands out of the way for no silly handball/pen
One of those defenders who loves defending isn't it. Fir 30 Million he will look bargain for years.
Pique's just been living on his reputation of late. I always felt he was overrated because of the quality of the team in front of him and as he was lucky enough to play next to Puyol for much of Barca's golden period, but of late his performances have truly dipped.
Completely agree
Similar to how Herrera got sent off against Chelsea in the FA cup.
Swansea 0:4 Man Utd
Love this guy, even without the goal and with that weird prone defending on that corner kick, love him!
That was brilliant anticipation from Bailly, Swansea defender asleep on the line barely saw him coming.
great reactions and we needed that breakthrough, hopefully this will open swansea up now
Second season and he's still a bit of a crazy cnut. In a good way I mean.
Glad he grabbed himself a goal though. He's an excellent buy.

What the feck was he doing at that Swansea corner?
Thought he was pretty bad in this first half, but popped up with the goal.
Great anticipation for the goal. Thought he started badly but he definitely grew into the game
Reminds me a bit of Vidic,a bit mad and irrational sometimes but a solid defender who will only get better.
If only he had Vidic's heading ability. It's something Bailly is really lacking in for a CB.
The jump and duck technique isn't the best.
Insanely offensive charge in the 1st half opened the whole game.
Key player to win this match.

Totally on it. Our open midfield invited pressure. He stood up to it though.
I think he is the best defender in England right now.
And top 5 in Europe.

Probably just nicks the MOTM off Phil Jones for me. Excellent centre back with a mean streak.
He really is turning into one of the best defensive signings for years at United. He's such a no nonsense defender in the Vidic mould. Delighted he scored today. His interviews suggest he's totally bought into the United aura/history.
I fecking love this lad. He's such a brilliant talent.
Love Bailly. He so deserves his first goal for us. Here's to many more!
What a player brilliant spot from Jose and his team to sign this guy
Happy he got his goal finally. Our best defender and a has a potential to be one of the best in EPL some years later.
He's had a very good start to the season and he looks more comfortable with Jones than he did with Smalling.
Absolute fekin beast, got mad love for this guy! He does it all, even without the goal he's MOTM material! Just brilliant.
Most definitely future captain material.

Loved that he followed up. Everybody else just stopped and he was like nah, thats my goal.
He looked better in the air today too, like he's been working on his technique. A couple of commanding headers from dangerous attacks.
Strange style at corners, almost ducking down and resting his head on the attackers stomach! Not sure that's the best angle to leap from!
However, definitely first choice material

The first league goal in his career, you could tell he had no idea how to celebrate Delighted for him, such a happy lad but also a beast on the pitch, crazy to think he hadn't played a full field 11 a side game until he was 18. Top CB already and will only get better
Delighted for him, such a happy lad but also a beast on the pitch, crazy to think he hadn't played a full field 11 a side game until he was 18. Top CB already and will only get betterI think he's more about trying to constrain &a pressure the other team attacker than outright winning the header. He doesn't have the physique, height & broad build to outright win it against natural big tall physical player.
Superb buy hopefully Lindelof matches him.
He's got to be one of the most underrated defenders in the league surely. I love him, he's been a great buy for us. Pleased to see him get his first goal, right place at the right time.
