I love Pizza!I really feel like Paul will turn more and more into like Uncle Pat once he gets older.
I just wonder what his catch-phrase will be!
I disagree. He is way worse than Lindelof. Not even close to him.He is the most talented and all-round centrebeck we have and actually is much better partner for Maguire than Lindelof.
Shame that he can't overcome his injury problems.
Still remember Deeney's words - when Bailly is fit and in form he really can scare opposition's forwards:

Probably because he does things like this vs Salah. In fairness to him, I can't point to many times he's been punished.He is simply the most confusing player I've ever seen . He's quick he's good in the air he's strong he can bring the ball out of defence he covers he partner CB .He has it all yet he scares the life out of me everytime I see him play
A couple of strange mistakes, but otherwise our best player along with Lingard. Very good playing out from the back under pressure, not so good under less pressure in the second half - probably match fitness.Good today
Perhaps someone would suggest him to go hairy. Where agent Paul when we needs him?If only people would stop treating his head like a football, then maybe he can go on a decent run
I disagree. Besides that Chelsea game he has been poor in my opinion. Lindelof is a much better player. But its a bit harsh judging him like that. He only gets minutes every 3 months so it isnt easy being good either.He's played well in every match this season even though it's less than 10. He and Maguire make a strong pair
Nahindelof is a much better player.
Ole and Jose agrees with me
Maybe they would if he didn’t stoop to make headers. I’ve never seen a defender actually jump lower than if they just stood and tried to head the ball.If only people would stop treating his head like a football, then maybe he can go on a decent run
Managers aren’t infallible and Bailly has been injured often.Ole and Jose agrees with me
Luckily I would say. Zero chance Bailly taking Lindelofs place
I didnt say Lindelof was super great, just way better than Bailly. As you said yourself, we might be looking for a new one. Clearly the manager doesnt think anybody else in the squad is better and might step up to take his place. A new CB would make Bailly 4/5 choice.Managers aren’t infallible and Bailly has been injured often.
Lindelof‘s place is so cemented we’re reportedly looking at CB’s, right?
Again, managers aren’t infallible. Mourinho, who you used to corroborate your statement, wanted rid of Martial & Pogba for the likes of Arnautovic, Perisic and Milinkovic-Savic.I didnt say Lindelof was super great, just way better than Bailly.

Atleast under Ole.
Rio was already on PFA Team of the Year when he was 23.I've really always liked Bailly as well, but I can see the points his critics make. If he can stay fit and get an extended run in the side I think he can prove that he's the better partner for Maguire - really can make up for Maguire's weaknesses.
People forget that Rio was a bit rash and was quite prone to doing crazy things on the pitch, but he developed into a great defender late 20s. I think Bailly has it in him as well, even if he doesn't hit Rio levels.
I also think hes been ok the matches he’s played, however he only played 5 full matches and most of them were matches like this where you almost can’t fail, so it is impossible to evaluate him. When Tuanzebe is fit, I am pretty sure those easy games will go to him as he needs them even more than Bailly.He's played well in every match this season even though it's less than 10. He and Maguire make a strong pair
Even if it doesnt hit Rio levels? Even close to Rio would be fantastic. For me Rio is the best defender we've ever had.I've really always liked Bailly as well, but I can see the points his critics make.

Bailly has a chance to be as good as Ferdinand, problem is that’s Anton Ferdinand.I've really always liked Bailly as well, but I can see the points his critics make.

I think people are too quick with comparing players. The only things I can see them having in common would be great pace and silky skills with the ball. Rio was just as fast as Bailly, if not more so, but you didn't see him at full pelt often. His best attribute was arguably his positioning and understanding of the game. In the Vidic interview, he talked about intelligence, and I think Rio was a very intelligent player. On top of that, he had great athleticism.Bailly has a chance to be as good as Ferdinand, problem is that’s Anton Ferdinand.
Ferdinand was a record signing when he went to Leeds, narrowly missed out on going to a major championship at 18 and another record signing when we went to Utd.
To say he developed into a great defender in his last 20’s is insane.
Comparing Bailly and Rio in any breath suggests you have watched neither player.
