Manchester United: Eric Bailly relapses against City
After his major performance in the Champions League, the Ivorian defender Manchester United was established, this Saturday, November 6, for the reception of Manchester City (0-2). He completely missed out on his subject for his first Premier League appearance this season.
While trying to protect his camp, Eric Bailly (on the ground) deceives his goalkeeper, De Gea.
Three halves, that’s all. Eric Bailly will only have held a game and a half before returning to the sidelines where he was condemned since the start of the Premier League. Established for the first time in the league in the defense of Manchester United, this Saturday, November 6, for the reception of Manchester City , the Ivorian defender gave up his place at the break. His coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, did not give him time to catch up with his goal against his side which paved the way for the visitors’ success (2-0).
Of course, wanting to blame Eric Bailly alone for the defeat of the Red Devils in the Manchester derby would be unfair. The Citizens were irresistible in mastery and efficiency. Against them, with the notable exception of goalkeeper David de Gea, United were helpless. And Solskjær didn’t seem to have the solution. But, the Elephant seemed seriously affected by his morning blunder (7th minute).
Everything has to be done again
On his fatal intervention, following a vicious cross from Cancelo, he lacked control and serenity. Worse, thereafter, his body language and his haggard gaze reflected feverishness. An inability to bounce back. He definitely looked out.This performance of Bailly contrasts sharply with his XXL performance in the Champions League , Wednesday, November 2, on the ground of Atalanta Bergamo (2-2). Manchester United conceded two goals in that game, but perhaps would have taken more without Bailly. At the end of the meeting, moreover, the English press strongly acclaimed him. Even placing him above Cristiano Ronaldo, who nevertheless saved his team from defeat by signing a resounding double.
At the end of this meeting, it was logical for Eric Bailly to start in the next match. Especially in the absence of Raphaël Varane, injured. But everything seems to be redone for the Ivorian defender, who was unable to transform the test.
