Bailly is a nightmare. He can range from world class one week to woeful the next. He’s wildly inconsistent and I think that’s why Jose and Ole have preferred Lindelof to him.
I think you should try to watch the game as well. You can’t rate someone based on his Whoscored stats alone. In the end, right or wrong, a CB is more rated for his mistakes and poor actions, than his accomplishments. We do the opposite for forwards.His stats for today is just remarkable. Any other CB produces those numbers fans would be singing their praises.
Analysis wasn't fair on his overall game.

Sounds like a good performance to me.
I do think some people in here are being harsh on him, but this was probably a classic Bailly match. Generally good but with a couple of shaky moments that could easily have ended up costing us.His stats for today is just remarkable. Any other CB produces those numbers fans would be singing their praises.

You can literally have great stats for anyone on a field if you really want but it’s only when you watch a match you can truly judge the performanceI think you should try to watch the game as well. You can’t rate someone based on his Whoscored stats alone. In the end, right or wrong, a CB is more rated for his mistakes and poor actions, than his accomplishments. We do the opposite for forwards.
.I thought he's really good, on defending and attacking. The goal was AWB fault, where he kept their striker 2 yard onside from everybody else. I'm not sure what people were watching.
Yeah mate fortunately I watched the entire match.Then you watch a replay of their goal
.
Bailly and Maguire were definitely at fault. Did you not see Rio's analysis at half time? Maguire moved to cover Shaw despite not needing to, Bailly saw the whole thing unfolding and did nothing to track the player. In fact he held his arms out for some unknown reason. Awb also fecked up by playing him on. The whole thing was a shambles.
If you go back a few frames there will be loads of space that Bailly has left after Maguire moved away, which is what Rio was pointing to. Excluding awb being a dope, it's Maguire's initial fault for inexplicably moving over, but a CB at our level should surely be reading this and reacting?Bailly was confident that he kept Lookman offside. Until he found the truth that ...
There was a replay on tv that showed that likely also Bailly played him onside.Bailly was confident that he was the last man and kept Lookman offside. Until he found the truth that ...
Maguire always leaves his position. His partner must be ready for that.If you go back a few frames there will be loads of space that Bailly has left after Maguire moved away, which is what Rio was pointing to.

Yeah he probably did. I just don't like how much space he left himI genuinely think that Bailly thought he kept Lookman offside. He uncharacteristically didn't put much effort on chasing the player, and looked confused when the goal stood out.
Ole just needs to drill it to all our defence to play it to the whistle.

Stats without context are largely meaningless. Thats why football clubs still employ scouts to actually go and watch players and don't just look on statistic sites for prospective new players.
Eric was shaky tonight, at fault for their goal (not the only one) and generally sloppy. Lets hope it's just a blip on his recent good run and not a return to his previous form of most of the last 4 years.
I thought he was fine.
He covered for AWB all game. Near own goal was just unfortunate.
Dodgy backpass was bad but I don't blame him for the first goal.
His passing and pressing up was excellent.
Bailly was confident that he was the last man and kept Lookman offside. Until he found the truth that ...
All of this heaping the blame on Bailey is unfair.Ole categorically said we don't do offsides and that player should have been marked. In fact before he made the move he shows the Fulham player to Bailly. I also thought we were playing for offside.
Bailly is brilliant and a disaster in the same game. Their goal was because he went to sleep.
Yeah, Lindelof is often embarrassingly crap in the air, but I still prefer him over Bailly, who plays like he's suffering from either multiple personality disorder or bipolar disorder. We're desperately in need of a new centre-back in the summer.Bailly is a nightmare. He can range from world class one week to woeful the next. He’s wildly inconsistent and I think that’s why Jose and Ole have preferred Lindelof to him.
All of this heaping the blame on Bailey is unfair.
He's playing on the right and only ends up anywhere near because he's pulled out of position by Maguire going to left back. It really should have been Maguire making the challenge.
Pogba is the closest to the man, but decides both not to sprint back but also to let everyone else know it's definitely offside and not to bother sprinting back either.
AWB is a bit off the line and plays him onside. Giving the attacker a headstart (whether offsides are played for or not).
Bailey is maybe 3rd or 4th most culpable and very far away from being the only liability in that defensive gaffe.
No, he has been class previous four games, but made a lot of mistakes today. His behaviour before their goal is comedy stuff for a CB. He lost the ball dribling out of defence in midfield once, he made a bad cock up pass playing out from defemce another time, his cooperation with both AWB and with Maguire was shabby several times like you never see with Lindelöf. Seemed like he was confused about his role and how to play from the start, and even towards the end of the first half McKenna was standing trying to explain to him how to position himself, which is not great for a 27 year old CB who has played four games on the trot recently in the same formation with mostly the same players.
It’s like we saw at Spurs and what we see from time to time with Eric - his brain suddenly goes AWOL at times.
Lindelöf is better, but Bailly is pretty good as well. People always underrate our defenders.
Maguire's s movement is perfectly explicable. He moved over to mark that man he's standing close to because Shaw might have to move over to the player on the wing.If you go back a few frames there will be loads of space that Bailly has left after Maguire moved away, which is what Rio was pointing to. Excluding awb being a dope, it's Maguire's initial fault for inexplicably moving over, but a CB at our level should surely be reading this and reacting?
For that backpass which was almost short?He owes me (and the rest of the team) a new pair of underwear.
Id go along with this. Also Bailly not bailey :PAll of this heaping the blame on Bailey is unfair.

people who think he’s at fault for that are laughable, but so is anyone who thinks he’s our best centre half.
Since the end of last season Bailly has displayed fantastic passing that cuts lines incisively something done much better than Maguire and Lindelof. He is also a very good physical defender. I would not say Lindelof is 'better'. More consistent perhaps but Bailly has proven to be a game winner recently.
For their goal, rewatched it a few times and 100% it was the responsibily of Bailly to track the goal scorer, Pogba though had him covered to an extent but let him go so also played the situation badly. But essentially neither were hungry to track him. Not good defending. Especially from Bailly.
