Dr_Pangloss Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Seems to lack concentration, very inconsistent with the ball at his feet, he really does go from the sublime to the absolute ridiculous in the space of a couple of minutes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Offers you plenty of aggression and pace, and a couple of times his work defensively got us out of trouble. A lovely pass for the 2nd goal, but overall i like him.He comes in and out, and we expect miracles, i would have him in the team over Westwood every day of the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisagg75 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 give him a break, he's hardly featured so bound to be a bit off the pace. there is something there and he's our best deadball exponent and we need all the goals we can get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Although he's got a bit of stick in the match thread, and not without justification, it was his pass that found Gil for the first, and his pass that found Hutton for the second. Both perfectly-weighted passes. He made several in that game inbetween a few woeful cockups. As Krisagg says: there is something there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Guy has bags of ability but can be frustrating. He is quick, strong, energetic and has a cracking right foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 His biggest issue is he needs too much time on the ball. When he has space and time he is top quality but when he is under pressure he struggles. Definitely alot of potential if he can sort that side of his game out and he could be a top player for us. Am still not sure of his position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Seems to lack awareness, gets caught from behind all the time and often turns into trouble Works hard though and is capable of something of quality albeit sparingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted January 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 25, 2015 Although he's got a bit of stick in the match thread, and not without justification, it was his pass that found Gil for the first, and his pass that found Hutton for the second. Both perfectly-weighted passes. He made several in that game inbetween a few woeful cockups. As Krisagg says: there is something there. There is something there, and there's something lacking. He doesn't really take part in the build up play, but then all of a sudden he makes a nice pass for a goal. It's just that he seems to not be there in the game, but then has instinct and enough quality. I really don't know if he should play or not. And if he plays, I don't know what position. I suspect he'll go back to bench when Delph returns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. His time on the bench has increased his ability in some supporters' eyes. He's good for a set piece, and can show moments of quality. But he really isn't a very good player, especially in possession. Edited January 25, 2015 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 He has several flaws to his game as we have seen today, but it seems to me that if he gets enough game time (possibly in the same position) he can sort them out, as none of them seem to be down to lack of ability. He is one of the few players at the club that can deliver the "final ball". His defensive contribution is also valuable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 He needs game time to get consistency back. Like a batsman who lacks natural eye and flair to create runs. He "needs a knock" as they say in cricket. One really good performance and he will hit form again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's Westwood got to do with it? Bacuna played on the wing today. When has Westwood ever played on the wing? Why do you feel the need to belittle him at every opportunity? It's absolutely pathetic. You've said you'll never rate him which is fine and that's your opinion, but always taking the opportunity to belittle him, even when it's not relevant is absolutely ridiculous IMO.

KSV Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Bacuna played central in the first half. He didnt struggle last season as he had consecutive games.. being in and out hasnt helped him this season. Doesnt deserve to be dropped.. he had a bad game and was involved in our two goals.

sexbelowsound Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Still rate Bacuna, I think he just needs a decent run of games in a settled position so he can get up to speed again. You don't play the kind of passes he does and take freekicks like he does without having some decent amount of ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villanun Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Bacuna played central in the first half. It's Lambert. Everyone played central in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's give him a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrim Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 He's decent and probably isn't ready to be a full time starter but in order to get better he needs to be getting some game time. Whether it's some time as a sub or used in a rotation as a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 That was a quality ball for the second half, I'll give him that. I think we need to play him. He may have flaws in his game, but with the improved defence we need to gamble on a bit of extra creativity. We can't afford Cleverley and Westwood in the same team, so which ever one of those you go for (and I'd go for Westwood on current form tbh) I'd pick Bacuna as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
