poitier Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 The opposition seem happy to leave him in space because he consistently fails to provide any end product.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Still better than Bacuna. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Lambert played him exactly the same last season, wipping in balls like a winger. He is no good as a winger an shouldn't be use as a creative outlet. How many times I said this last season under Lambert?? Its basic tactics that did not work and never will.

Stevo985 Posted September 20, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2015 That's the modern game. That's what fullbacks do these days. Lambert didn't invent the fullback providing width. That's exactly what you want your fullbacks to be doing. Hutton gets in the positions but his final ball is lacking at times. He's ten times the player Bacuna is though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Better defender than Bacuna but Bacuna is miles better at crossing the ball. Cant say I rate Hutton at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 It's not just Crossing where he is inferior to bacuna. It's passing. awareness, touch, intelligence. And lets not kid ourselves, he is hardly a great defender just a slightly better tackler and header of a ball than bacuna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacuna plays the odd great through ball, but in general his passing is poor and his touch and intelligence are terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacuna plays the odd great through ball, but in general his passing is poor and his touch and intelligence are terrible.Think I lie somewhere in the middle of both your opinions. Personally I think Bacuna is the better player but i'd agree with Jonah that Hutton isn't worse than him at all of those things.I also don't actually think Bacuna's passing is that bad and what I've noticed in the match threads is that the things he does do well are rarely commented on but instead the negatives get blown out of all proportion.

HanoiVillan Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 That's usually a sign of a player who plays well some of the time and then makes calamitous mistakes. The problem is, we can only have one of those at a time, and Sanchez is more important. The real lesson, though, is that we need a new right-back.

The guy is not a footballer. His second touch is a sending off.Hutton, for all his limitations, was one of the only players to come out with any credit last season before his injury, I'd even say he was our player of the season, although i realise this is like judging your favourite dog turd sandwich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 its rather frustrating when your best RB is put at CB because he wants to play there, when he would be better at RBbacuna, hutton or even crespo arent the answer to help our right back problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Richards is so strong and hard to stop once he makes his runs upfield that I think he would be perfect at right back, but as you say he's here to play centre half and is doing well. It's a shame the Okore-Clark partnership ground to a halt as they showed promise together, and we could play Richards and Amavi either side.

Well it is concerning if it were true. Is this just a hunch or is there anything to actually base that on? he doesn't struggle getting up and down the pitch at times playing CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Richards isn't great at RB at all. Yes he's a powerful runner but has no composure on the ball in attacking areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
