All 3 United
His tinfoil hat protects him from the Glazers.
Made a huge difference having him back. Had he gone off with injury just after the Liverpool goal and Lindelof came on..... well I think we all know what was likely to happen!
Very true. He has a knack for getting away with it and is very careful in the box so we know he isn't the Rojo/Rafael type with poor impulse control hence the benefit of the doubt. That pressure he put on Mane towards the end was amazing. Thought that was a goal for sure and how he managed to avoid bringing him down showed maturityHe dives in recklessly quite often. I appreciate his aggression, but he's not always in control and he gets away with a lot of questionable challenges in my book. You can disagree, but almost every match he plays, I can point to a 2 or 3 challenges that are borderline. That's great as long as he can get away with it, but at times he is reckless. There's a difference between pushing the line and being reckless and Bailly hasn't fully discovered it yet.
At the end of the day, I really like what he offers United at CB. He just has some maturing to do and hopefully can stay healthy.
I cheered that almost as loudly as either Rashford goal. Rio still has him beat for doing similar to Torres in front of the Kop, mind.
I love the little look he gives the crowd after it. Boss man.
Yep. This shouldn't detract at all from a standout performance in one of the biggest matches of the seasons--especially after a period out. Very, very good showing from him today.The own goal was a mistake, but it was unlucky. He mis-hit his clearance, which is a mistake, but it happens. But for it to clip off his heel, through his own legs, and nestle perfectly in the near corner like that is incredibly unlucky. It could have gone anywhere. It was a freak own goal.
Aside from the own goal, how did Jones play in that game @Pexbo ?The own goal was a carbon copy of Jones vs Spurs.
Jones was called every name under the Sun for his. Interesting the allowances some players get.
He wasn’t bad considering the midfield alllowed them to batter us for most of the game and the only goals we conceded both came with huge slices of luck.Aside from the own goal, how did Jones play in that game @Pexbo ?
Don't think Jones was good at all against Spurs. He also made an error for the first goal. As a defender, if you make two mistakes that cost two goals, I'd say that's enough to constitute a poor game.The own goal was a carbon copy of Jones vs Spurs.

"He wasn't bad". Kin ell, even Mourinho himself had told Jones specific instructions of what Spurs would try to do from the kick off, and he still fecked it up. He was poor versus Spurs in anyone's book.He wasn’t bad considering the midfield alllowed them to batter us for most of the game and the only goals we conceded both came with huge slices of luck.
It was I agree, but Jones has had several seasons of dumb blunders and injury after injury which has worn on people's patience, if Bailly is still doing stupid stuff in a couple of seasons time then he'll get more stick IMO.The own goal was a carbon copy of Jones vs Spurs.

Agree but I do believe Bailly when in form elevates our team in a way none of our other CBs. There's an arrogance about his play which elevates us as a team. I feel the same about Pogba, though of late he he hasn't shown it.The own goal was a carbon copy of Jones vs Spurs.

Jones was also the reason for the first goal being conceded. Completely different scenarios as Bailly hadn’t made a noticeable error all game, in his first game back from injury.The own goal was a carbon copy of Jones vs Spurs.

Cause Jones cost us the fecking game.The own goal was a carbon copy of Jones vs Spurs.

Mo Salah had no clue what hit him there. I think it was at that exact moment he said feck it and gave up on the whole gameTweet

I somewhat agree with this. People have come to conclusions and they post to fit that narrative.The own goal was a carbon copy of Jones vs Spurs.

Well said. To add to that he is also very quick off the mark which helps his proactive game.Watching him today I realised what he has over the others. He can sniff out danger waaaay earlier than them. He'll occasionally step up into midfield to break up an attack earlier. With the others the defending is always reactive never proactive requiring lots of last ditch stuff and keeper interventions. That's only the mental side, let's not even talk about the physical and how strong he is in the tackle and composed he is on the ball.
That OG though. Had to feign an injury to cover up his embarrassment
No, it isn't. Bailly got into the right position and did the right thing of going with his left instead of his natural foot. Unlucky it hit the heal.The own goal was a carbon copy of Jones vs Spurs.

To win all trophies you can win, you need to play in great teams. Ramos played in Spain during their best years and plays in Real during great years. But he has also performed in those big big matches and even meant the difference in some of them. Until Bailly does, if he ever does, we aren't able to compare how they perform at top level. A good example of what I mean is Thiago Silva. A few eyars ago many called him the best CB in the world, but now a few years later he has proven to not have the nerves for the big games. He even refused to take a penalty in a shoot-out despite being the captain. I see nothing in Bailly that indicates anything like this, but I did not see it in Silva either.Trophies are hard to compete, as it depends on so many factors. And I really don't measure CB by the amount of goals he's scored. Baresi only scored like 17 goals in his whole career. Desailly had 23, Ferdinand had 14 goals.
Different players are measured by different standards. If it was Smalling, Jones or Lindelöf who had made this pretty cruical mistake it would have been a big deal. Now people just think it is so much fun. To be honest I think Bailly could have done one more big mistake like this without being called all the names under the sun.The own goal was a carbon copy of Jones vs Spurs.
