Decent showing yesterday under difficult circumstances.He still does some bizarre things with and without the ball,mind.The potential back injury moment is illustrative of that because there was really little need to be as overly committed as that.But that's Bailly for you.

Think the one thing is, he looked a bit composed at the back at times managing to turn when being pressed and going back towards his own goal.
Really, you mean the 13 games he played in where we had the best clean sheet ratio all season? Our most complete defender. He's a beast physically, cool as a cucumber, can pass the ball. Only issue is sometimes he's too aggressive in the wrong situations, but that wouldn't be an issue if we had midfielders who can actually provide cover & defend spaces... Doubt the best defenders in the world would survive with the giant dinosaurs Matic/Fellaini in front of them.
Bailly > Smalling > Jones (if healthy) > Rojo > Lindelof
He has his good sides, but he also had some disaster perfomances. For example he was number one individually responsible for leaving Champions League last season. Smalling was by far the best defender last season and imo Lindelof has been the best the last ten matches, or maybe Smalling. Bailly has had 2-3 good games but even in them, you can see that his lack of awareness and poor judgement leave the pairing CB alone with too much to cover.
Bailly only played 4 out of our 10 matches against the other top sides in the league. Smalling played all 10.
Bailly also played 2 of those matches in a back 3 and 2 in a back 2, which is exactly the same amount as Jones.
However Smalling played 3 of those games in a back 3 and 7 in a back 2. So far more often he had more individual responsibility defensively. It wasnt half and half like Jones and Bailly.
In Lindelof's 3 matches we got all 9 points, although 2 of the 3 were Arsenal which is the weakest team on the list.
Liverpool 0 - United 0 ( Smalling & Jones )
United 1 - Spurs 0 ( Jones, Smalling & Bailly )
Chelsea 1 - United 0 ( Bailly, Smalling & Jones )
Arsenal 1 - United 3 ( Lindelof, Smalling & Rojo )
United 1 - City 2 ( Rojo & Smalling )
Spurs 2 - United 0 ( Smalling & Jones )
United 2 - Chelsea 1 ( Lindelof & Smalling )
United 2 - Liverpool 1 ( Smalling & Bailly )
City 2 - United 3 ( Bailly & Smalling )
United 2 - Arsenal 1 ( Smalling & Lindelof )
Smalling = 10 games (all), 23 points out of 30
Jones = 4 games, 4 points out of 12
Bailly = 4 games, 9 points out of 12
Lindelof = 3 games, 9 points out of 9
Rojo = 2 games, 3 points out of 6
Man Utd 4:1 Bournemouth
Get rid.
Fecking maniac
Sell him

Complete clown. It is not worth pushing Lindelof to the left to accommodate him.
Mistakes happen but that was just sheer stupidity. Twice. Even more worrying in a stage of the game where he should have been relaxed and calm. The game was dead for feck sake! He's a liability too often and doesn't have the great attributes where you are willing to carry a few dodgy ones.
Calamity
Been here 2.5 years.
Still stupidly rash, cannot be trusted.
Not good enough.

The black Phil Jones. Both reckless, fragile and thick as pig shit.
Rightly sent off, terrible decision making.
His decision making is literally laughable sometimes, in the sense it actually makes me laugh. On the half way line and he jumps into a tackle. WTF mate!? Was playing well until then too. Now got a three game ban in which Jones will re-establish himself as the starter.
He is not the most intelligent guy that's for sure.
Loose unit.
He's a lunatic and a liability.
Him and Rojo have got this crazy streak. Can’t trust them because you never know when they’re going to go flying in studs up. I want to love Bailly, but man, you just can’t go in like that, and he does it at least once each game.
He’s a fecking lunatic.
He really is a crazy player. Can be absolutely brilliant and then ruin it all in a split second.
Anyone calling that red harsh, I hope I never have to play against you on a weekend. Just lucky the Bournemouth player is not planted and can mostly avoid it, serious injury otherwise.
Get rid. Clown of a player still after 2,5 years here.
He's been a liability for most of his time here, it's nothing new.
Needs selling as soon as possible.

You miss the blatant red card and penalty he got away with about 10 minutes before his actual red card?
Saw the best and worst of him. A great block on King/Wilson can't remember which. Then that absolute lunacy at the end.
Bailly Lindelof is a terrifying CB pairing.

Stupid fecking player. Sell him
Always prone to these brainfarts. Nearly took the head off one player earlier in the match.
Needs to improve his decision making badly.

good game until he was sent off. i thought red card was harsh, but he needs to sort decision making.
Not sure if it was a red but he's braindead at times.
Goes chasing balls in crazy places as well.

Brainless Bailly
To do that at 4-1 up... you have to be so utterly brain dead. And should have conceded a penalty before that with more wild needless panic-kicking.
That's his chance with Ole, and probably his last chance at the club, and he's totally blown it. Hopefully Smalling gets back to fitness and we won't have to risk another Bailly game.

Massively overrated and brainless player. Not even better than Jones.Harsh red. Played well apart from that. Has that odd crazy tackle in him which he can only get rid off with experience
Bailly should have been already sent off early for a foot at head level, I thought we had gotten away with one but then he got a straight red anyway.
I’ve said it multiple times before so this isn’t knee-jerk but he is ridiculously overrated by our fans, specially on this website.
Poor in the air, poor positionally, not that great on the ball and most of all reckless. This isn’t the first time, he can be so brain dead.
What’s funny is when he next plays and makes a successful crunching tackle people will forget about all his faults and he’ll go back to being loveable old Bailly. “Our best centre back”

Very entertaining player to watch it must be said. Needs moving on. Should have given away a penalty and the red was brainless.
People saying he'd had a good game until the red card need their fecking heads wobbled.
MOTM for me. Red card prevented Fellaini from coming on. Legend.

But not really.

I would sell in the summer. I don't think he's good enough sadly. He is simply too rash and clueless so often.
It's about time the "sell Smalling, play Bailly" brigade start to be honest. He needs a lot of work.
