avfc_in_essex Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Bacuna's main attribute is his crossing. Without Gestede being on the pitch he is pretty wasted. He occasionally comes up with a piece of brilliance (ball through to Cleverley against Everton) but for every great pass or cross, there are 10 misplaced passes in our own half.

villakram Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Bacuna is a bang average full back, but he was doing perfectly fine until Tactics Tim decided to ruin the team shape. I think what he gives us going forward in comparison to Hutton is well worth the defensive issues. This should be where the team part of team comes into play and Richards/one of the midfielders know to help out. If we're going to play gil/grealish/traore, Bacuna's ability on the ball is required at the back as Hutton a pretty useless passer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I don't get it, am I trolling by mentioning Lowton? Is Lowton a troll? Do trolls agree with opinions on right backs.think you need to post the gif, rather than fluffing your audienceOh and as an incentive 'Would prefer Bryan Small at this stage' The first one (though I appreciate you're not really trolling, it's just a very bizarre opinion).Lowton had a decent first season and then massively regressed over the next two seasons. He was way too slow to defend in the Premier League, and there's a reason he's playing in the Championship. He isn't now, and never was, a better option than Hutton, and I just don't see how you can claim he is. it's an opinion, not really a bizarre one either. I never rated Lowton that much, I used him to make a withering point about how crap Hutton and Bacuna are, not how great Lowton was/is. also Hutton maybe better than Lowton but that's not saying much is it.I actually like Bacuna, he can cross and take a mean free kick and he has pace and strength, but for some reason this season so far he looks like a rabbit in the headlights and doesn't know what he is doing. Maybe it's a confidence thing, but i'd rather we played someone else at right back presently, even if that does mean Hutton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) He is another player who is better when we are in the ascendency......when we are on the back foot he is concerningFor me,the first pre-requisite of a full back,is to defend...... the rest is a bonus.

Keyblade Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 It doesn't take a genius to work out that we should be playing a right back at right back.Yes, like Richards for example.For the umpteenth time, Richards is not a RB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 The way Richards has been powering out of defence he may aswell take one for the team and go back to RBRichards - Lescott - Clark - Amavijob done. but that wont happen, id certainly be starting with Hutton after his display at the weekend, just looks very laboured whenever he receives the ball, wants an age when picking a pass (and a throw in incidentally mainly due to the total non-movement we still have in front of him). He has a bad habit of dawdling on the ball and normally gets dispossessed or plays a ball that isnt on leaving us in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasley14 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I thought he was terrible on Sunday tbh. Didn't even do well from an attacking sense which is pretty much the only reason he is in the team. i think i'd prefer Hutton at rb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Bacuna should not be playing in the premier league, it's as simple as that. he just isnt good enough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 KHV is right.We can argue about his pace, his position all day long. But ultimately, he's a championship level player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 KHV is right.We can argue about his pace, his position all day long. But ultimately, he's a championship level player. I believe that too. Don't get me wrong he has scored some great goals and provided some good assists and I can never fault his effort either. I don't think he is without talent but I feel the premier league is just a bit too much for him. He seems to be a jack of all trades and master of none type player, throughout his career he has played at right back, on the wings and in the middle of the park which has probably hindered him more than anything. I have no issue with him being a squad player, however starting week in week out is a no no for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 He's actually a very good athlete in my opinion, but just an utterly, tactically clueless footballer, he doesn't understand the basics of positioning, reading the game and making good decision on the pitch.At best he's a utility player, he should not be starting. Hutton is the superior right back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Thomas Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Nothing wrong with dropping him and telling him straight that he is under performing. Then let him earn his place if he wants back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
