Such a strange player. His pass through the lines was instrumental in the buildup to Bruno's goal. However, he's just so unpredictable and unconventional with his defending, I fear he costs us whenever he plays.
Another meme defender like Jones. More known and celebrated for his "wacky antics" than his footballing ability.
Far better than Maguire in Passing
For the 1st goal he was like oh well I might try to block it.. Plus pointing in the middle of their attack.
Watch the second Leicester goal again. He checks where Vardy is and just stands on the spot. Move, for feck sake.
Definitely not the answer in my opinion but he does show the value a player of his ilk, that isn't slow as shit, has in our shit show of a defence.
Good with the ball when he is not under pressure. Slightest pressure and he’s horrible. Poor at defending, no coincidence both goals are in his path. Passive.
Thought he was quite good. He is a phenomenal athlete.
The handball incident was comedy gold though. I laughed so hard on it while watching.
A clusterfeck of a defender.
We're in big big trouble if Lindelof is out now
Would rather see McTominay slot in at CB over this clown. Can't believe this is his fifth season here considering how little he's shown. Terrible defender.

If he just follows him we win.
Horribly inconsistent and can't be relied on. Everytime he touched the ball I had a dreadful feeling he would fck up.
Without a good brain, unfortunately.
True
Don't know wtf he was doing for the first goal, instead of committing to a desperate sliding block he makes a strange stance with his arms flailing all over. If the shot hadn't gone in it would have likely been a penalty
To be fair that was bizarre from Fred, if he doesn’t handball it then it’s going back to wobbly legs in the goal at height whilst Leicester are on the edge of our box.
Awful defender. All our rivals and the opposition are happy to see us picking him in the defence.
His handball was a joke and would be unacceptable at a lower league club, never mind one of the top clubs. How he's managed to stay at the club for so many years is another indictment on the club.

Thought he was okay, caught a bit off the mark for Vardy's goal
Bailly is totally unstable. I hate when he plays because we are always seconds from farce.
This was a good game by his standards since he managed not to give one of his teammates a concussion or give away a handball penalty.
I'm sure Mike Dean was salivating as soon as he saw that Bailly was playing, but Bailly managed to disappoint him, miraculously.

The thing with Bailly is that he is a defender that may bicycle kick 2 clearances a match and moonwalk a ball off the touchline.
However, he doesn't ever do this in the most basic and easy way so it's always so shaky to the stability of a top team and a bunch of defenders holding a defensive Unit.

He’s one of those CBs you want to get behind so much but just dosent have the game to back it. It’s a shame because he’s athletic and isn’t terrible on the ball but is so utterly inconsistent. Needs to settle for a permanent backup role.
Wasn’t completely awful today but he was so erratic. I never have a clue what he’s going to do and I doubt he does either. The defence always looks unsure when he plays.
If lindelof is out for a few games I fear we will struggle if Eric deputises.

Not blaming him, it just was really bizarre, getting a handball jus because he was pointing to someone else what to do.
He wasn't part of the play and suddenly it's a handball on him. Very funny incident.This. Eric just doesn’t have it in him to be a regular starter for us. Sad, as when he arrived he was quite promising, almost beastly.
I’d like to see us give TFM a run of a few games.

Classic Bailly!
He seems fine being that and I'm ok with that being the case. I thought he'd given up altogether being at the club but it seems like Ole has kept him engaged.
Had a good game. A lot better at CB than Lindelof. Obviously the blocking attempt was weird but I'd say keep playing him until we can get a better CB, hopefully he'll stay injury free.
Sadly Bailly got some skills but they all gets blanked out by his erratic and stupid defending. Why didn't we start with Victor and tuanzebe on the right? Beats me. We would have won. Victor played good against wierdy last time.
He’s a bit of a rough diamond.
He cost us a bit defensively but I thought his overall play was quite promising. Probably got the nod due to his pace and possible fitness issue to Lindelof.
He wasn’t as bad as some are saying but I don’t think he is the answer.

I think the lack of consistency is due to him being injured so frequently - his style makes he prone to injuries.
So I cannot see us relying on him too much.
Imo we need to shift out Rojo and Jones and replace them with an injury free CB.
In a way we end up with 3 relatively injury free CBs and axel/ Bailly as a fourth CB.
Yeah with his injury history this role for him makes all sides happy
"Aim here"
That's got to be the slowest reaction ever.

Agreed. Though, since I doubt we bring in a CB in January( and to be honest I don’t want us to. I hope we take the time to find the best possible CB and that play won’t be available in Jan), I would love for Axel to start getting a run of games to show us what he’s got. He’ll make mistakes but with Lindleof playing hurt we don’t got a better option.
Agreed but what makes you think that Axel and Bailly will stay fit for the rest of the season.
Unfortunately for us and them two, history suggests otherwise
Now that I see it from that angle it looks like Fred was trying to get the handball off the Leicester City player.
i like his personality..he's quick and confident...
but he's injury prone and not better than Maguire.
Not even better than Lindelof IMO
and thats saying a lot.
He doesnt exude calmness and authority in his defending.
we need better.

Can’t believe Fred was planning to give DDG the ball at that height.
