matrim Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I like the extra energy that he gives to the midfield but ultimately his end product is poor. In saying that he does look like the midfielder with the most chance of scoring. He's getting into good positions in the box but too often his composure goes and he ends up blasting it. If one of those goes in, it potentially gives him confidence and he starts to get more because he used to be more composed in front of goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 One thing I do like about his is that he doesn't hide. He takes responsibility without question. He finds himself in some good positions, he's just no Jordan Ayew. Whilst Ayew is unavailable however, he's our best option in the position, though he does play a little deeper. If not him then who?

lexicon Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Lyden maybe? It might be a little soon for him but he seems to have a good head on his shoulders. Thing is, you can't miss sitters like that in the premier league - especially not in our position when goal chances are rare as rocking horse shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was extremely shit on the ball on Saturday, perhaps I missed his defensive cover, probably because I couldn't get over how bad he was with the ball at his feet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can he play the more advanced role? Is he mobile enough? To be honest, I was starting to get used to seeing Ayew blaze chances like that high and wide anyway so not much has changed in that respect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 He's the quintessential (is that the right word?) utility / squad player. He doesn't excel at any position or ability, but he can do a job at multiple positions. And once in a while he puts in a really good performance. Obviously he has his share of stinkers as well. If he's content with being that player for us he will be useful for many years. Not sure he will thou and I don't think he'll ever be good enough to have guarantied spot in the team.

Always there, though. He gets into pretty good positions quite a lot of the time... just didn't manage to do much with the ball when he got it! I'd rather have someone making those runs etc. though than someone not getting there in the first place. Plus he seems like a nice guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I dont mind Bacuna that much but he is a player you can only really tolerate in very small doses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Shocking player. In terms of consistency and decision making on the ball he's one of the worst in recent memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 He filled in surprisingly well at left back but in midfield he has been shit, and today's performance has reached new lows. Garde deserves stick for not putting him out of his misery at half time, if not earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 1/10 would be too complimentary. It would imply that 10% of what he did was good. Should be fined for that 'performance'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted February 14, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2016 Never understood the support for Bacuna. Versatile, yes - versatile and mediocre in every position he plays. A symbol of the chronic underinvestment in our playing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
