Dante_Lockhart Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Rb spot is his to lose now. Another great game. Gave Hutton a new contract too soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I think its OK to have options, both Bacuna and Hutton have roles to play next season. Bacuna can be quite iffy at times defensively but he is improving and offers much more going forward than Hutton does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 When defenders don't have to defend solid for 90 minutes every game they start to look better. We attack now, and he's a good pacey full back/wing back that can cross and is at least comfortable on the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AValon Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 He's a hungry player and he fits Tims style to a tee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanO Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 He's got something different, not really at RB nor a wide midfielder but he adds something positive to the team. For me Hutton is a classic RB who takes no prisoners, he's been good this season so I really don't mind who between the 2 Sherwood picks. If only I could say that about the LB position!

Stevo985 Posted April 21, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2015 The thing is, has he ever actually played well as a wide midfielder for us? I know he hasn't had many games there, but the only good performances I can remember from him (and there are enough of them) have all come as a full back.

AVTuco Posted April 21, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) The thing is, has he ever actually played well as a wide midfielder for us? I know he hasn't had many games there, but the only good performances I can remember from him (and there are enough of them) have all come as a full back. I agree, he should be played as a right back, even if he really isn't one. Edited April 21, 2015 by AVTuco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 He's only had about a season as RB, I think he still has plenty of room for improvement. If he can learn to properly defend than we will have quite a RB. Hutton is great as back up, probably as good as we could hope for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, he should be played as a right back, even if he really isn't one. Yep, i'd keep him at right back. This may sound strange but I think moving him further forward diminishes his attacking threat. Opposition left midfielders don't seem to have the ability to track his runs from deep and he always ends up in acres of space, as the fullback is usually occupied. If you push him forward you are pretty much handing him over to the fullback and making his job of delivering quickly into the box twice as difficult. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I'm blaming him for the free kick today, could he have hid behind Benteke anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I'm blaming him for the free kick today, could he have hid behind Benteke anymore? The one where Richardson moved his face out of the way of the ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Bacuna was certainly at fault for it aswell. He was almost up Benteke's backside once that free kick was taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i was going to hit Richardson in the face, not Bacuna, so how is it Bacuna's fault? Looks like just trying to blame somebody IMO, rather than blaming the actual person who **** up. Overall though Leo is improving game in game out, really like his positiveness and ability to whip in a ball with either foot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Did you not see Bacuna? He was moving out the way before the ball was even hit. If he stood where he was supposed to in the wall he would have blocked it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
