To be fair you have probably chosen the worst players to use as examples, maybe bar Ayew. Albrighton, Johnson, Cahill, Banaan, Veretout etc etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure he has the talent either to be fair. He has never once impressed me and today championship standard players were breezing past him and he actually ran the ball out of play three times. Definitely one to move on. I guarantee that if he wasn't a French under 21 player and he was British he would be be getting way more stick than he does.

He's so weak he can't even cross the ball in the air to the box. This all day. It's been a complete mystery to me why people talk about his ability going forwards. I have seen no evidence of this all before or after his injury. Again I refer to my above comments, I am sure people believe he's good going forwards because he's a French Under 21 player more than because of any evidence their eyes have seen.

Farlz Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Probably the worst game I've seen him have for us today, not sure what he was doing for the first goal. I expect he will leave in the summer but I fully believe there's still a good player in him. It'd be a real shame if that injury has in fact ruined him completely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macandally Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 He didn't get off to the best of starts today and was at fault for the first goal but was not helped by Bacuna in any way shape or form. Fair play to the kid, he was a threat going forward which disappeared when he went off and didn't hide. Good players keep going, quitters quit, he didn't quit.

No. I will complain that we sold him if he's doing well and looking useful. If he is being awful and sold then is great elsewhere then c'est la vie and good luck to him. You can only deal with things as they are before you at the time. In my opinion he has done nothing before or since his injury and would not hesitate to sell him. Can't understand people moaning that we sold a player who became good elsewhere. If someone is not performing then it's right to get rid. Sometimes they come good elsewhere and that is OK, there are probably reasons why and those reasons may never have come to fruition with us so the move is good for both parties. I take absolutely no pleasure in a player doing badly for us..... But this is not about a player having a bad game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 15, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 15, 2017 Yep, very poor today. First two goals were basically his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macandally Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Disagree on second goal, Lansburys ball forward from the kick off was a nothing ball that came straight back and Amavi was left high and dry down the wing. Look where Bacuna was when the goal went in, on the halfway line still! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look where Bacuna was when the goal went in, on the halfway line still! It was another example of his awful positioning. They had several breaks down our left because he was caught out. He is abysmal. His much 'vaunted' delivery isn't very good either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted April 16, 2017 Moderator Share Posted April 16, 2017 I don't really care if his delivery is good or not to be honest. First and foremost he is supposed to be a full back but time and time again he gets horribly exposed through poor judgement and positioning. I've lost count of the times I've seen players get in behind him without really having to do anything. He is current (and has been all season) and poor defender and somewhat of a liability who week after week the opposition target to try and exploit. Even if he does have great delivery (which is highly debatable) that doesn't in any way counter or diminish the glaring deficiencies in his game. He is a poor/average left back by Championship standards based on this seasons performances. If anyone offers £10m plus in the summer I'd take their hand and half their arm off. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the second goal, which I don't put down to him, I don't think they got in behind him once yesterday - when they had the ball he looked a really tidy defender - when he had the ball in his own half, he looked their most dangerous player at times, but defensively he was solid yesterday.

But at least he scored against Arsenal. You know, i do wonder if this idea that he was great before his injury is largely influenced by the rubbish that he replaced?
