Popular Post Biskitt Posted January 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) I quite like him as physically he's great and his versatility at times is a real asset for us. His defending one on one is very good and if he can just calm down a bit when he's on the ball and concentrate on his defensively positioning then he'll be a very decent squad player. For the million or so we paid for him, I think he's been a good signing Edited January 18, 2014 by Biskitt 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 That's the only way Suarez got that pen, by diving. If you don't go down, you don't get anything in this game, such is the quality of refereeing. I think if that was reversed, Bacuna would have got a yellow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Don't want him to play act again. I loved it! It was a diving contest out there at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got some limitations to his game but for the money we paid for him, I'm more than happy with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerbs Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Unconvincing face clutch and roll in our own box won't help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 He did well to elbow Suarez in the head. Notice that Liverpool didn't kick the ball out as he was rolling about holdng his head and screaming like a girl. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Should stop at RB now, could be a very good RB, gives the team a better defensive foundation.His strength and pace are much more superior than Lowton's . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Great physical attributes but not good on the ball. Looks like we need a rb in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houlston Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Did well I thought yesterday but he's been fairly hit and miss in this position, although as he has been in other positions too. I like him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Did well I thought yesterday but he's been fairly hit and miss in this position, although as he has been in other positions too. I like him though. He's played something like 10 games in that position in his whole carreer, I think he has great potential as a RB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Disagree, keep him away from the back 4 and develop him into midfield. With his energy he could be a decent option for us there in time. Without his free kicks aswell, we'd probably have 0 home wins so he's been worth a million for that alone.

R.Bear Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I wanted to kill him when he gave the ball away in injury time which nearly cost us a point. He's so unreliable and is a terrible RB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeParker91 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I do prefer Bacuna further forward than RB. His positioning at times is poor (like Lowton) but he does have the pace to make up for this (unlike Lowton). At right-back he seems more nervous on the ball than when he plays further forward. I don't blame him, at his age, adjusting to a new league and not playing in his preferred position, he is doing rather well for the team. At the moment, he does look like he has a mistake in him (ball given away last minute, misjudging his attempted 'header') but I think out of all our signings this summer, he shows the most potential and I think he'll keep improving.

Stevo985 Posted January 19, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 19, 2014 Sorry, I just don't rate Bacuna at all. He's a deer in the headlights with the ball at his feet. Panicky.I'm usually the first to defend players from getting criticism, but Bacuna just isn't very good.I'd have Lowton there every timeKind of sums up why I feel it is a shame he has to play there. People seem to judge him in general on the way he plays in an unnatural position, rather than how he plays in his preferred spots within midfield.Of course you would have Lowton there every time, Lowton is a right back, Bacuna isn't. The fact that some people do prefer Bacuna in that position is a credit to him IMO. I don't think he's been particularly good wherever he's played.He was in midfield at home vs liverpool and it was one of he worst performances I've seen from anyone.I like the lad, I just don't think he's very good. People keep saying he was good yesterday.Despite being ok first half I thought he had a poor game. I'd rate him as our worst player yesterda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Have to agree with stevo he's a very limited player and his technical ability let's him down a lot. He'll make do for now but should really be nothing more than a squad player next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rate him as our worst player yesterda To be fair on him I think that game against Liverpool in midfield was his first in the position for us and he was very nervous by the looks of it. It was a complete contrast to the way he played in midfield against Arsenal the other night, surging forward whenever possible and getting himself about on both flanks. I think there is definitely something there in him, he is only 22 and can still learn a lot of course but if he is given a proper run in midfield I think he'll excel. Hopefully we will have Lowton back for the Baggies and Bacuna can play in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powell91 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 i do like bacuna and he in my opinion is one of the young and hungry players who i think can come good for us. it is only his first season and he is making himself a regular he is still learning but the guy is doing well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
