GENTLEMAN Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Bacuna is an attacking asset but a defensive liability. He will defensively mature given time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I don't think he did much wrong after the bad clearance for the first goal. Mainly because QPR concentrated down the right with Phillips but still. When he gets absolutely torn apart as Richardson was, then the word 'liability' will be applicable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Bacuna is an attacking asset but a defensive liability. He will defensively mature given time. I hope so because he is fast turning into one of my favourite players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 well he got helped last night by Cleverley which Richardson didnt get on his side and also helped that QPR didnt have left back for most of game. He is good at bombing forward and we need players like that at moment as we cant grind out results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I like what Bacuna offers going forward but if he is to play at RB IMO we need a proper defender in at LB (injuries permitting) for us to look more solid. Hopefully Aly will be back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 his defending wasnt too bad. His speed can make up for an error he can make. Has a good engine and determination. His crossing is really good.. I wish he was played further forward a bit more. In Gabbys role outwide in a 433 where he doesnt have too much defending to do and he can use his energy pressing their defenders and attacking.

Condimentalist Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Don't see him in midfield myself, hasn't got the touch or guile. What he has got is a superb cross, pace to burn and a big heart. I think he can be a fantastic attacking RB for this club and I think we should focus on training him up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he can be a fantastic attacking RB for this club and I think we should focus on training him up there. Which include to head a defensive clearance into the sideline, or byline. His solution before first goal was almost a worst case scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 do people not remember the VIlla full backs of recent years Luna, Shorey, Bennett, Lowton, Stevens, Warnock, Beye, Cuellar except for Hutton they are all atrocious defensively in recent times. At least compared to some of them he offers something in attack which helps the team going through that ist we really have had some awful left backs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 He gets destroyed by pace. If he plays against Spurs, he will be up against Erikson. Not sure if I trust Bacuna defensively there, but offensively he would create havoc because Erikson doesn't track back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I don't think he gets destroyed by pace, he's rapid himself. He gets destroyed by ability. I really like him, I'm a fan, but he's not a regular right back. He's a really good impact player IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 The defending for their first goal was something you'd be shouted at on a Sunday morning for doing. Abysmal header and then tripped up Vlaar who was on his way to close down the cross. Has his moments but when playing on a regular basis does more damage than good.

Zatman Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 awful defensive positioning, great pace and good crossing ability im willing to accept that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 awful defensive positioning, great pace and good crossing ability im willing to accept that I actually thought he was good defensively today, Rose couldn't get the better of him and it was only when Chadli doubled up with Rose that they caused a threat on that side. He definitely needs to improve defensively if he's going to be permanently deployed as a right back, and right now its hit and miss, but today he was great.

KSV Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 He was really good I thought. How many goals has he setup and scored for villa in how many games. For a right back who doesn't play there normally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 He can't defend but certainly has the Midas touch going forward, what a delivery that was for the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Great ball in for the goal and did well defensively bar the one time when Chadli done him in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 He does some amazing things but then does some really poor things. Overall a decent performance today from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggy_333 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 He does some amazing things but then does some really poor things. Overall a decent performance today from him. For the price we reportedly paid for him i'd say his positives outweigh his negatives for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
