Why has Bailly been labelled as injury prone all of a sudden. He had one injury last year and one long term injury this year. He's not exactly Jones.
No.Does no one else feel that Bailly is slightly overrated on here? I mean he's good but he is prone to rushes of blood to the head. Just me then.
Therein lies the problem. Plus the injuries. Bailly is the most consistent one. Also think he's suffered the fewest injuries. If we had another one, we'd have a settled back four. With great squad options.Impossible task as various players gain and lose form all the time to where it pointless to establish a pecking order.
I agree that Bailly is our best defender but it's a long time since I remember Jones having a period of poor form that wasn't injury related. His issue is fitness, not ability.Think Bailly is the best. Jones is currently on a good run of form so this is why many are putting him at the top. He, Rojo, and Smalling all have periods where they're really good and make you think they're the better CB. We saw that last year with Rojo and the season before? with Smalling. Currently it's Jones.
When Bailly comes back people will start to remember him as our best defender. Still needs to improve though. He needs to get better at heading and tone down the rashness, but still keep that mean streak if that makes sense.
Valencia has been captain.I see many people here don’t rate Smalling at all. Strange that Jose Mourinho, who is well known for building up teams from the back with great defenses, has him as captain and seems to play him over our other defenders. Just saying.
Smalling has also been captain many times.Valencia has been captain.
in the past, your point was Jose "who is well known for building up teams from the back with great defenses, has him as captain and seems to play him over our other defenders. Just saying."Smalling has also been captain many times.
Google itin the past, your point was Jose "who is well known for building up teams from the back with great defenses, has him as captain and seems to play him over our other defenders. Just saying."
My point is he isn't captain, and he's only playing because Bailly is injured, just saying.
