So glad we had the comedy stylings of Bailly today. Who cares about the result, Bailly stole the show with his hilariousness. Just such a funny guy, love to see it. Hashtag just Bailly things.

Pretty much.
Got his chance, fluffed his chance.
He gets his ONE chance and goes straight to being the most mad form of Madman Bailly there ever was.
Unbelievable.
Is he thick?

Hopefully puts an end to people who slated Lindelöf and thought Bailly was the answer.
Well Bailly might not be the answer, but Lindelof certainly isn't.
Ok, that's ended the Bailly v Lindelof bandwagon then
All our centre backs are fecking shit. And we are selling our least shit cb.
Yes. Have you never noticed before today?
Compared to his partner he looked like Vidic.
Mainly cos his partner looked like my dead nan.

Both are shit.
Best defender at the club they said, bloody hell, we are in trouble....
The whole defensive unit was a right laugh today. Great bunch of lads.
He bottled it.
I just thought he was unpredictable. Today, with that pass to Matic on the edge of his own box who was marked by at least 2 Spurs players resulting in Spurs 3rd goal, I have finally accepted that he is a bit thick.
Said it before but the difference between his top and low level is far too extreme, goes form worldbeater to carthorse.
There's a player in there no doubt about that. I'm convinced with a run of matches the mistakes will diminish. No good throwing him in now and then. He needs to get his confidence up. He's the least of our problems. Needs a run!
Makes us chucking Smalling out all the more alarming. Bailly is a complete and utter calamity and hopefully won't ever pull on that shirt again
Yes there's significant doubt about that. The only thing worse than his performances is his injury record. Awful, awful player. Zero defensive awareness, inspires zero confidence in his partners and careless in his passing.
The only question mark is whether he's the worst of the three we have back there, my money is on yes, but boy are Maguire and Lindelof trying their best to run him close.
Most of us wanted him to start which was logical but we all know he can be a kamikaze.
Exactly, the calamity in our defence was Maguire, who didn't get away with his gaffes like he has so many times before.
Bailly is still a better defender than both Maguire and Lindelof if people really want to throw blame
Whys it an utter disgrace? Give your head a wobble. Lindelof’s been shite since the start of the season and made numerous errors, Bailly has looked good the previous games he’s played and the call for him to start was the right one and what the vast majority of fans wanted as well. Who could’ve foreseen the whole back 4 turning to utter shite and looking like they’ve never played football before. Hindsight’s a wonderful thing, but don’t get on your high horse afterwards like you predicted this all along.
I’m convinced you’ve never actually watched Bailly play football.
We're wasting our time trying to convince ourselves that he can still be useful, when really we should be looking at upgrading both him and Lindelöf.
In 10 years time, when we're still in the exact same mess as we are now, he will just be another name on a long, long list of questionable transfers.

Cool story bro
Nobody in the back line had a good game today but Bailly was the worst. He has speed but that's it. Absolutely no anticipation and always out of position. He is 4th choice at best...
Today was last chance saloon for Eric, he was given a chance and blew it big style. Headless chicken prone to persistent bad errors. should have solid him along with Jones and bought a quality centre half.
Not even close. Maguire was far worse.
Maguire was worse than everyone present at Old Trafford including Woodward.
Lies, Maguire and Shaw were the worst culprits today.
It seemed weird for us to drop Lindelof and give Bailly his first PL game against bloody spurs. Why against such a competitive club with world class attackers?
He should have been eased in playing next to Maguire against a team we could dominate attack with so they could learn to build a partnership.
Today that understanding of a central partnership wasnt there and they played like two individuals- effecting our fullbacks and midfielders aswell.
A CB partnership & understanding is built over time. Just picking one to play with another randomly against a tough club is poor management.
Would we randomly pick Bailly to start his first defensive games in a CL knock out match? He should build that partnership over time.
That's the same with Lindelof and if he had to start a new partnership with Bailly - dont start the bloody thing vs spurs.

Lindelöf was slated for a reason and nothing has changed there but I have said it here time and time again that Bailly is not the solution. He is just not a good defender.
Back to PSG form again. The worst was not all the mistakes and conceded goals, but he really showed why he is such a poor partner to Maguire. Many people think just because he is fast, he is perfect to cover behind Maguire. But the problem is Bailly is not a smart player. When Maguire was high up the pitch, he was also high up. Matic had to chase Son on a counter because Bailly was not around.
Maguire doesn’t need a fast partner, he needs a smart partner who can anticipate danger, position himself and is aware of what is happening in other places than where the ball is.
Maguire was just as awful but it’s no coincidence Maguire did his worst performance in his career when paired with Bailly.

Disastrous performance and all the evidence needed that he is nowhere near the required level. Selling Smalling ahead of the current crop of centre halves defies belief.
They didn’t start with Spurs, they started with Cup games. Last season as well as this season. The idea was probably that we needed a fast CB because of Sons speed.
Back in my box I go ...
Well this aged well
Totally cursed him, not sure what I was thinking on Thursday inevitable Bailly show. At least he wasn’t the worst CB on the pitch. Has that going for him at least.
That's a game every 2 months.
If Bailly & maguire played against Brighton and gone on to this match it would be better than restarting a random partnership against Spurs.
They played together against Luton, plus as a sub vs. Brighton in PL. It’s actually his 5th season now and then you don’t get the luxury to be eased in like a youth player. Lindelof and Maguire started their partnership with Chelsea.
Bailly is getting all the blame, only 1 was his fault, and that's as De Gea passing the ball to him in the 6 yard box, Not at fault for first, De Gea was, he never comes out, Maguire for second, he hit it at Bailly who recovered and hit it safely back to him, hes been blamed for not getting to left hand post, when he was on the right, and again, look at De Gea, Bailly tries to run behind him, to block it, but De Gea stands still again. De Gea is the reason for these defence errors for us and this makes the defence look hopeless and panicked...good shot stopping ended 10 years ago as the only goalkeeping assest needed.
