Bailly is a class footballer. He may not be Umtiti. Who is after all? But he’s demonstrated he is elite
Point is this is all Mou. How many players has he cast out like this? DeBruyne, Salah.. It goes on

Re: Danfo. Your men Bailly and Mou?
That Chelsea game demonstrated both sides of Bailly. He was shocking in the first 2-3 minutes. He had a first touch like Bill Cosby early on (perhaps forgiveable because of match rustiness after a lengthy lay off). Then for the remainder of the game he made several last ditch blocks and tackles where he came flying in as if he had jets attached to his boots. Electric pace.
IF he can stay fit and improve his positioning, he could be a specimen in the future.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini.

Re: Danfo. Your men Bailly and Mou?
Bailly doing stepovers in the box (against Chelsea) and while facing his own goal (against Bruge). That man is a nutter. I will miss him playing alongside that other headcase Mark Red.

Interesting that Shaw is preferred as a CB in a three centerback formation over Bailly

Re: Danfo. Your men Bailly and Mou?
In that back 3, they need a left footed player to play LCB. It was the reason why LVG bought Mark Red; and also the reason he became redundant when Man U switched to a back 4 (well that, and the fact he was injured nearly 50% of the time).

Its the ideal, but its not a requirement. In any case, Maguire is a left CD.
He played as left CD for England in the WC.

Re: Danfo. Your men Bailly and Mou?
Irrelevant.
Re: Danfo. Your men Bailly and Mou?
With the plethora of one footed pro footballers knocking about these days, having a left footed LCB is very important for teams that play a back 3. England played Maguire (a right footed CD) at LCB in the WC out of necessity, not choice. Do tell - who is that left footed international quality English CD that is good enough to play at the WC?... *crickets*
Basically Maguire was put there because no one else could play there! Playing Bailly (who is rash at the best of times) in an unfamiliar position on an unfamiliar side of the pitch could have unbalanced the team. Remember his horror show against PSG last year when played at RB?

Its not as important as you make it. There are not many left footed CDs playing LCD. Van Dyk plays as left CD for Liverpool. He's not left footed. John Terry wasn't either...
Bottomline is, OGS felt more comfy with Shaw than Bailly. That is quite interesting...

Re: Danfo. Your men Bailly and Mou?
1) Yes it is. The fact that LVG bought the left footed Daley Blind, tried to buy Mats Hummels, and in desperation bought Mark Red when he could not get Hummels, was because he needed a left footed LCB. Today Dortmund plays with a back 3: with the left footed Dan-Axel Zagadou at LCB. Do you think that is a coincidence? Heck even SAF played Evra as a LCB when he played a back 3!
2) You are comparing apples and oranges. VVD and JT played on the left side of CENTRAL DEFENCE in a back 4. Not in a back 3 with 3 CDs, nor do they play LCB. Playing with only 2 CDs in a back 4, they spend the entire 90 minutes standing in the middle of the pitch so being right/left footed is not as crucial.
If as you claim, having a left footed CD at LCB is not important, then please explain why LVG never once played the left footed Blind and Mark Red at RCB throughout his tenure? (even when faced with huge defensive injury crises) He preferred to play a right footed unknown youth team player called Paddy McNair at RCB rather than take the risk of playing a left footed player at RCB.
Shaw is more stable as a LCD (in a back 3) than Bailly, end of.

A LCD is a LCD, irrespective of formation. You are clearly overstating it...And Dortmund play Akanji as LCD even when Hummels is playing...

Re: Danfo. Your men Bailly and Mou?
That bold part has made me realise I should not have wasted my time debating this with you. If you do not know the massive tactical gulf between playing CD in a 4 man defence and LCD in a back 3, you have bigger issues than Shaw or Bailly.

Point is, its not as massive as you make it out to be, which you do in order to justify your position.
And the examples I've shown you, which you conveniently ignore, support my assertion. For instance, the case of Hummels and Akanji at Dortmund.
Or the case of Maguire for England, who could've played a left back as LCD.
If it was that decisive, why did they not play Danny Rose there? Afterall, he like Shaw is a natural LB...
