At right back he was attacking too much and getting caught out, but at left back he seems less confident constantly bombing down the field which is fine.

Dr_Pangloss Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 He was OK, certainly much better than Richardson, so on that basis should keep his place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted December 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 13, 2015 Finally a thread for me to contribute, since I just don't want to add to all the negative. Leandro has done surprisingly well at LB, but he really should change places with Hutton, or Clark should come in for Hutton. Leo needs to be crossing the ball to our strikers. He can also score occationally, so I hope he continues to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Much better than Richardson at LB but a traffic cone would be more useful than Richardson .Still though like Bacuna think he offers us something positive when he plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Probably says a lot about the sorry state of our team but there's about 7 performing worse than him atm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Your emerging star left back is out for the season and your only real options are Richardson or Bacuna. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermon Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Only gripe I'd have was that he should've overlapped a little more with Sinclair. Even to just offer some space, but agreed he's done a good job at lb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 He is one of the few player who gets me excited when he's on the edge of the box, because I know i can expect a deadly cross or a dangerous shot. He can be poor at times, but he's one of the few players we have who can deliver that final ball and create chances and on that basis he should start every game as far as I'm concerned.

sne Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Kind of a waste playing him on the left flank as he's then not able to cross the ball and thus wasting his only real talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think saying his crossing is his only real talent is harsh. He is capable of producing defence splitting passes and has excellent shooting technique as well.

HanoiVillan Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I think it's a damning indictment of the quality of the rest of the first-team but I'm starting to warm towards Bacuna. He's a better left-back than Richardson, and when we buy/loan one in January he should move into midfield, at least he can, on occasion, do something unpredictable.

AVTuco Posted December 18, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2015 When Aly comes back, Leandro should start in Hutton's Place. If he did, we could actually score a goal too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arj Guy Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 He isn't very good at all but when Cissokho returns I'd like to see him start instead of Hutton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 £1m One of the biggest bargains in recent times for us, he gives his all whenever the shirt is on his back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Got very lucky at the end, so easily Sissoko drifted past him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
