CrackpotForeigner Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 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. Having spent his childhood diving around Urugaian football pitches, Suarez probably never heard the tale of the little boy who cried wolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Bacuna is 22, again why do fans give players like Albrighton, Clark and even Herd numerous chances but when it comes to the likes of Bacuna or Sylla, lets shift them out their rubbish. Also Stevo mentions he hasn't seen Bacuna play well, have a re-watch of the Sunderland game where Bacuna was in midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had a good game at fullback as well as midfield. But in general, he hasn't been good. Joe Bennett's had a good game, doesn't mean he's good (sorry Joe) Edited January 20, 2014 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 800k, he's been a good buy for me, he never stops working hard, he's still only 22 and can get better once he plays in his rightful place of CM with Delph and Westwood, when I thought he played well there against Sunderland and Liverpool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 20, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 20, 2014 Yes. I meant in general he hasn't been particularly good. I didn't say he hasn't had a good game. Like I said, Joe Bennett, for example, has had a good game. But I think you'd find few who would say he's been particularly good (so far) For 800k he's fine. But he shouldn't be starting imo.

Shillzz Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I realise he isn't exactly up against stiff opposition, but I think Bacuna probably represents our best transfer business over last summer. Okore may take that title in time, but i'm encouraged, if not entirely overwhelmed, with how Bacuna has been performing this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Anyone reckon we put Herd in at RB to let Leandro up into midfield in place of KEA? Herd's had some real standout performances at RB for me. It's CB where he's struggled. I reckon PL could be after a new RB this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herd's had some real standout performances at RB for me. It's CB where he's struggled. I reckon PL could be after a new RB this window. When has Herd had these stand out performances at RB? His best performances came in midfield under he who must not be named, he should have got player of the season that year over Stephen **** Ireland. Hes never had a go in midfield since which is strange because as limited as he is I think he'd be a better tackling mid than Sylla, and thats nothing against Sylla who I think does a job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played at RB under both Houllier and H.W.M.N.B.N, who only moved him to centre midfield after he bought Hutton. He was at RB for the first few games and was excellent - got MOM against Wolves i think. Herd and Petrov together in midfield was briefly one of the few highlights of that season.

GENTLEMAN Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 He is always smiling, it is great! I do believe his touch lets him down at times but that can be improved (see Agbonlahor). I have been impressed with him this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juteface Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Set piece. He whips in a mean cross at times, fast and direct. None of this floaty cack (mostly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 If £800k is correct he's one of Lambert's best signings purely on value alone. That's championship money and he's definitely PL standard and I reckon he'll get much better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 We look more secure with him at RB. He certainly isn't a no 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
