TRO Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Got to be honest, literally 2 minutes before he played that pass i said to my dad we needed to sub Bacuna i thought he was having a poor game.... Me to.... That pass is top, top, quality though So is the run..[/quote) Ditto.....that run is not to be underestimated.....we wasn't doing that a short while ago. The pass was sublime too.

GENTLEMAN Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 LB's assists remind me of Milner's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 LB's assists remind me of Milner's. THAT is why a lot of fans are obsessed with James Milner, the guy was amazing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted May 17, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 17, 2015 Maybe Tim took Leo off yesterday to protect him. He did pass the only goal, and the change made no sense to me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakid007 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Getting better. Still has a clanger in him but it can be worked on in training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Maybe Tim took Leo off yesterday to protect him. He did pass the only goal, and the change made no sense to me at least. I thought that. If we were going into the final game needing something then Bacuna's pace and directness would have been vital. I never saw it as a bad mark against him.

YGabbana Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Will be even better next season, will develop into an old classic winger, bags of pace and a superb cross on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 18, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 18, 2015 I don't think he'll ever be a winger for us. All of his good performances have come from full back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 He wont be a winger because he has zero skill even to the point where his basic technique is a bit of a weakness. He is also isnt that quick to make up for this lack of a trick to beat his man. He works as a full back and he definitely has a great cross on him, way to go yet on the defensive side I thought Sherwood took him off because he was pants. Not all his fault but he was definitely part of a woeful defensive performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 He needs the space in front of him to run into, and other players to create it. I agree, I would say he doesn't have the intelligence to play further up the pitch, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I think Bacuna's technical ability is massively underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 18, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 18, 2015 He has technical ability, but I think he lacks close passing technique. When he plays further up the pitch he needs a lot more of that. He's perfectly suited to his fullback role. He doesn't have to be as involved in those exchanges and can instead get the ball on his overlapping runs and just play the killer pass that he's proved to be more than capable of. He's playing as well as he's ever played for us and he's doing it as a fullback. No need to move him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you see us making plays down his wing they rarely break down because of him. I agree his best position is a full back with licence to get forward though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 18, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 18, 2015 I disagree. I don't think he's very good at keeping possession. It's probably his biggest weakness, imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted May 18, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 18, 2015 I think he's pretty good at keeping possession. Him, Zog and Cleverley do it really well in triangles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I can never make my mind up about this guy, on form he can be immense, and defensively he has played very well at times this season, but today his delivery was completely off the boil and his defensive performance was absolutely shocking, he was getting caught completely out of position multiple times in the first half today. Ultimately I think we need better at right back, Trippier IMO would be a good shout, looked a much better player than Bacuna today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
