Then I suggest to take a lecture in statistics, since you have a very small sample and if you´re countign one off game against Tottneham then *facepalm*. Bailly is more proactive player and recent games showed that, he´s much better in pretty much everything than Lindelof. And I am not saying he´s wonderful in the air but he´s certainly better than Victor and definitely stronger better tackler on the ground, likes to anticipate situations reading the game quickly which put us on the front foot unlike Lindelof who backs of too many times. I am not sure if you´ve seen last season but last 20 games he had fingers in almost as many goals resulting us losing points after points. It´s a miracle why he is still trusted, however the answer is easy. He can stay fit.
In few years time he will be gone and I would be surprised if any team from the premier league would go after him, he´s simply not good enough for the league let alone for United mate.
I’m sorry but I think it is you who need to study some statistics. If you have a player who has played many matches (Lindelof, large sample size) and another player who played few matches (Bailly, small sample size), then Baillys stats must be dramatically better than Lindelof’s to conclude that he is a better player, statistically. That’s how it works.
The question is how you, with such a small sample size, can conclude that Bailly is more proactive, better tackler, better in the air and “better at pretty much everything”.
Some stats so far this season as CBs:
Lindelof has won 2.6 aerial duels per match and Bailly 1.8.
Lindelof has made 0.8 succesful tackles per match and Bailly 0.4.
Lindelof has made 1.2 interceptions per match and Bailly 1.5.
Lindelof has made 3.8 clearances per match and Bailly 4.5.
Lindelof 0.7 blocks, Bailly 1.3.
Lindelof 1 goal 1 assist. Bailly 0+0.
So not sure how you can make all those conclusion with the data above from such a small sample size.
