VillaChris Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 He's not that bad. He's had far more good games for us than say Joe Bennett who was picked up by Sheffield Wednesday (although yet again he isn't even playing on loan at clubs). He'll be o.k in the championship I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 People said the same about Clark 2 seasons ago. Now Clark is championed regularly. Bacuna is pretty despised right now, but it's only because he's had a handful of 'bad' games recently. Other than those games, he's been as 'average' as the rest of the team, and he's one of the players who has been seen to be running through brick walls for the club, where others didn't. Not to mention that he will probably play anywhere in the team if asked. He's never once moaned about being played at rightback, right wing, left back and centre-mid. Even though it's probably contributed to him not firmly establishing himself in any one position (other than RB under Lambert). I also think he will actually be a good rightback for us when we go down. He's certainly the best one we have, that will stay here. Not to mention he's easily good enough to defend in that league, but will also be a decent attacking outlet. After a couple of better games, I'm sure people will soon forget about his bad ones, and find a new player to label as 'the worst player to play for this great club in a million years' etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 He was absolutely shit in his last game and should have been dropped. At best he's an average full back but most of the time he's below the required standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what you consider 'absolutely shit' to be honest. If a PL player is very good, a semi professional average and your pub player shit... then yes, I would describe Bacuna as absolutely shit.

Gardner, Lyden, Mason all could've had a chance. Fair enough Gardner has gone out to get regular game time but we have other options yet Bacuna stays in.

Rob182 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Yes! He's one of those absolutely shit pub players who can play full back, centre-mid or on the wing, can whip in a cross, can score a goal, but also suffers from inconsistency and lacks technical ability. Leandro 'Marmite' Bacuna. You either think he's 'absolutely shit', or you think he's an average yet versatile footballer who has his flaws, like most players do.

Stoke City 2-1 Aston Villa (Bacuna 79) 'Following his horror show against Liverpool, a performance that was so bad he was hauled into his manager’s office and asked to explain himself, Aston Villa utility man (a utility man who’s consistently useless in a wide variety of positions) Leandro Bacuna gives Aston Villa a chance of rescuing a point by pulling one back against Stoke City.'

AVTuco Posted February 27, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 27, 2016 That finish is why, in this useless crop of players, you put him out there every game. Sadly he hasn't scored or assisted many, but at least he just might. Unlike our other shite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 The 1 in 14.5 chance of him scoring a goal is nothing to shout about and doesn't make up for the fact that he's been poor in the vast majority of the games he's played for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_1989 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 the guy is utter s*** one goal means nothing. terrible player who is extremely fortunate that Villa is run by a bunch of idiots and got handed a 5 year contract. The guy is stealing a living. Sadly he's one of many at Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
