VillaChris Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I've seen some ridiculous ball control from Weimann when he's running at speed, really basic stuff of just running it out of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakid007 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Done really well today. Defo should start next game in a attacking position. He is the only midfielder we have who drives forward and looks like scoring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulfromsutton Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 He should get more game time he did well for us last year but just hasn't had the games this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 He lack technique in terms of passing and possession. Technique isn't a catch all word for everything to do with being a footballer. Someone can have great shooting technique but awful tackling technique. Shooting and running, Bacuna is great. Passing and keeping possession, I'm yet to be convinced. Happy to see him given a chance though Spot on. I think he will improve if we continue to be less defensive too. More time on the ball is a good thing.

ozvillafan Posted December 21, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2014 Offers more than N'Zogbia and should be started before him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itdoesntmatterwhatthissay Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Did well when he came on and probably should have started ahead of lowton today. I don't think he's good enough to be a regular starter but he has a role to play in this squad. In terms of his technique i don't think striking a dead ball is proof that he is a good technical player. He is neat player when he has someone next to him for quick passing, he also does a decent job protecting the ball and finding a pass, when there is one. He's a midfielder in my eyes, and very true to that position, not the best coming forward or going back, adequate, but he does understand who to pass to a why, whether he can see all passes is another discussion but all in all he's a good squad player and someone who can brought in to do a job. On the flip side I don't think he'd be that tough to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 He's very dangerous on set pieces. That alone is enough to be in front of nzogbia. He also has a great work ethic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 .....of the peripherals i think he is one of the better ones. He kinda slips out of the nondescript catergory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik986 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 He should be close to the team for set piece ability alone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 He clearly means set pieces rather than "shots" (I did lol). However, I'm pretty confident it was 2 free kicks and 3 from open play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Offers 20x more than Weimann or N'Zogbia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Really like Bacuna, Think he needs to start more. If all Cleverley needs to do to get into our midfield three is run around and close down then Bacuna can also do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 He really does offer a lot more than N'Zogbia or Weimann. Not only does he have a good shot, he also has the ability to whip in a good cross. Agbonlahor-Benteke-Bacuna as our front three could finally produce some goals. Then bring on Grealish for a more direct approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
