You miss the blatant red card and penalty he got away with about 10 minutes before his actual red card?

The high foot in the box wasn't a red card or penalty. He cleared the ball and the follow through didn't have any power in it.

The challenge that did get him a red card was just stupid though. Had to feel sorry for him as he went off though, he looked devastated.
 
Has obvious talent but incredibly rash. Doesn't look like any of it has been ironed out.
 
We were lucky he didn't concede a pen beforehand as personally I thought it was probably worse than the tackle he got sent off for, there's always a mistake in Bailly be it a rash tackle or dodgy pass I just don't feel safe when he's playing.

It was dangerous play sticking his studs head height in the box where players are trying to head the ball.
 
What a terrible defender.

It's a toss between him and Jones as our worst defenders by a margin from the rest.

Headless chicken and just a disaster waiting to happen. Won't shed a tear if he's sold in Jan.

Are you joking?

It's an absolutely blatant red card and penalty.
 
Bailly is the player British fans love because he puts in effort and is hard working - never mind the fact that his ability isn't where it should be, because he's physical and puts himself about, that is deemed good enough.
It shouldn't be.

Vidic for all his physical play, wasn't rash - he was just physical, he didn't dive into tackles just because he could.

He was rash against Torres but thats mostly it.
 
The tackle in the box wasn't red. No way.
Otherwise you believe Nani was right to be sent off against Madrid.
 
He's a fecking rare one. Somehow managed to make himself looke bad in a 4-1 match.
Whoever next manager is, he'll need to sell Bailly, Rojo, Jones asap.
 
Needs to be sold. Physically he got everything a top CB needs but his decision making and game reading skills are absolute trash. Caught out of position time and time again rushes into tacklings he has no chance of ever making and exposes the back line again and again.

Rojo and Bailly are simply not good enough. Smalling's footballing skills are just nonexistent and Jones is too injury prone. So, in essence, we have one halfway decent CB in Lindelöf who brings everything to the table a good CB needs but even he is positionally awkward at times and watches the ball too much but at least I have half a pint of hope for him, the rest should be replaced asap.

Nah. They were very different. One was genuinely dangerous in a congested area the other was trying to control a ball believing he was in space.

Rojo at least put together a run of good performances as half of Rojones. Bailly doesn’t even have that to his credit.

I don't buy that argument. He could and should've missed much of that run through suspension. But anyway, I think we're both on the same page in terms of what should happen now.
 
He is not good as passing, he is not good in the air, he is rash and reckless. What is the point of such a player.

Nani tried to control the ball and his opponent stooped.

Bailly raised his studs to the level someone would be at to head the ball. Very dangerous
 
Perhaps if we had a peak Ferdinand or Vidic for him to learn off he would have been a good signing. Instead he learnt from Phil Jones.
 
I think the red was a harsh one, but something you would expect from Bailly. Shame really, I rate his raw talent, but he isn't improving at all in my opinion.
 
We have to get rid as part of a clear out of our shite centre halves. I doubt he’ll ever be United quality. He’s brain dead.

If you can’t sell him right away, send him out on loan back to Spain to try and raise his value again.
 
He's literally a hybrid of Jones and Rojo.

Reckless, easily injured and a red waiting to happen.
 
A real shame. He's so raw, he's all instinct and athleticism and seems rather temperamental mentally. He looked a decent prospect initially, but he really needs a strong leader beside him and a lot of work. Ultimately he's just too far away for us. Would be interested in seeing him in 5 years however,

"Our best CB"

Wait that was last week or something right?

People saying it clearly don't watch football. He is a liability pretty much every single time he plays and most of the time he is injured. Yet another player who probably has no idea how he is still a Manchester United player.
