Biskitt Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Think most of us are on the same page with Bacuna which is quite rare on this forum! He's an enigma alright. One minute he can go from misplacing passes and barely being able to control a football and then the next minute, he'll do something that has a real impact in the game, be it a good cross, set piece or goal. I still think his best position is RWB when we play 3-5-2 as he has a bit more defensive cover and more space to join the attack but quite happy seeing him as a RM or right sided forward. He might be worth trying on the left a bit more though after the goal at the weekend For the impact he's made and for the peanuts we paid for him, he's been a very handy acquisition 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Time to start Bacuna? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YGabbana Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 needs to start in place if gabby..he is more of a goal threat which is what we are struggling with, his goals could keep us up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 he is a threat even when he plays badly so i say give him a go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Has to play for me. In place of Gabby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Yep, same here. I'm starting him off Benteke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Womble Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Definitely think he should start instead of Gabby..... Offers us something a bit different which is better than offering nothing!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Bacuna will hopefully start the next game. I think out of our midfielders he is probably one of the more likely ones to get us a goal and we need those!

VillaChris Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 After scoring v Leicester don't understand how he didn't play a single minute v Stoke. This weekend it could be worth trying this if we do 4-2-3-1..... Bacuna...........Gil.................Sinclair Benteke ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 That's been my preferred front 4 for a few games. Maybe with Weimann instead of Benteke, given Tekkers is so out of form, but then again, he has a higher ceiling than Weimann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 he has a higher ceiling than Weimann. It's cos he's taller, innit? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Worth a place in team at moment as he is a goal threat from open play and freekicks. Gabby is better as a sub to use his pace against tiring defenders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 That's been my preferred front 4 for a few games. Maybe with Weimann instead of Benteke, given Tekkers is so out of form, but then again, he has a higher ceiling than Weimann. I'd go with Benteke all the way. We need him to start scoring for us again, and that won't happen if he isn't playing. And it's not like we have any other good strikers to put up front.

VillanousOne Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 we could end up with a defence consisting of bacuna - baker - okore - clark if some of the defence don't shake off knocks vs Newcastle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojong Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 we could end up with a defence consisting of bacuna - baker - okore - clark if some of the defence don't shake off knocks vs Newcastle I wouldn't mind seeing that back four actually.

HeyAnty Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 we could end up with a defence consisting of bacuna - baker - okore - clark if some of the defence don't shake off knocks vs Newcastle I wouldn't mind seeing that back four actually. If i was to guess, we would go with 3CB in that case and 5 in midfield. Bacuna and Delph in either outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 we could end up with a defence consisting of bacuna - baker - okore - clark if some of the defence don't shake off knocks vs Newcastle Theres no way any sane person in world football would move Clark out of position at the moment, whoever comes in will go to left back not in Clark's position. But i'd like to see Bacuna somewhere on the pitch, lets see what he can do without PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Womble Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Given Clark Okore Baker Sanchez Bacuna Gil Delph Sinclair Weimann Benteke I'd probably go with this bearing in mind I'm no manager!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure Sinclair would give much cover in the left though. Not sure though as ive never saw him play that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
