villa89 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 With Tishbola out of favour this clown is probably our best central midfielder. No wonder we can't keep the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mikeyp102 Posted October 22, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2016 Last season I couldn't stand this guy and never wanted him to play for us again (more than any other of other losers).However, he has worked so hard for the team and shown a completely different attitude this yr. He's still not great on the ball, but certainly does his bit for the team 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 He was a wasted player today. I'm not knocking him or his effort, but he's no attacking CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are actually trying and playing football this year. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been very solid but needs replacing with if we are going to push on. But we know he will be reliable and do a good job if needed, which he will with injuries and suspensions etc. Bruce has really got to grips with the Midfield. Just need more creativity now.

VillaChris Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 From what I've seen he's been our most consistent player this year. What a turnround from just 6 months back, good mental strength for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacuna wasn't at his best yesterday, but as a unit they are functioning well. Good that we have Tish to come into the mix also. Much better than it was a couple of weeks ago. All round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no fan of Bacuna given his comments before, but I actually think he did what was asked of him for the last two games and did it well. His job is clearly to harry high up the pitch to force errors and worked his socks off in both games.

Dr_Pangloss Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Hate to break it to you but Bacuna is not going to make a massive difference at all, it is utterly paramount that we sign quality in midfield this January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 The issue under RDM was we didn't play a 3 man or even a 2 man midfield and the hallowed solution was Jedinak who started off terrible. But Tish and Bacuna weren't doing badly. Then Gardener was given a decent enough rennaisance and Bacuna got injured, Jed started to come good. Tish hasn't got a look in and Bacuna is now fit, yet Westwood and Gardener are the terrible go to midfield for Bruce and Gabby has become a viable attacking option and not put in one single display that makes him worthy of a start.

LancsVillan Posted December 13, 2016 Moderator Share Posted December 13, 2016 I want to see his return asap alongside Jedi and either Westwood / Tish as they can do the running for Jedi and let him concentrate on staying in front of the two CBs. Look how easy that goal tonight would be stopped if he could stay central with confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
