Leandro Bacuna - Sold

[cdbearsfan]

I thought he was fairly average, and any other player that hadn't been made scapegoat of choice wouldn't have got the same reaction. The only justification for booing individuals is if they aren't trying, and I never get that impression with Bacuna. Booing him was a twattish move.

A side with Bacuna as a regular starter will never get promoted. 

I don't even think he's good enough as squad cover.  Get rid as soon as possible and find another way of setting the team up if we're struggling with injuries.

Tend to agree.  He lacks quality and composure, but I thought the effort was there.

I didn't hear any booing when he went off, just cheering which I suppose is worse in some ways.  He did play some poor passes yesterday, as did some others, but I suppose there is previous with Bacuna that means he will get singled out more.

Apparently his name was booed when the team was read out.

The "previous" seems to be him saying that he'd like to play in the Champions League, much like every other player on the planet. People still bearing a grudge over that non-issue, two years later is ridiculous.

[garyshawsknee]

Even after dropping down a division he hasn't done much to warrant a place in the team, especially as we have other options in midfield. Hourihane is probably wishing he was still at Barnsley.

[kippaxvilla2]

I don't care about that. I just care about the fact that despite signing 108 midfielders he still gets picked.

[PeterWithe]

He's nowhere near good enough to start for us.

He is, and that's a real problem.

There's the sensible side of me that thinks the booing is unjustified and Bacuna is harshly treated.

But then I think of all the piss takers that have robbed a wage of us over the last few years, including him, and think again of all those supporters that have coughed up fortunes to be let down time and time again, and I see a certain beauty in the fact that they have used the one platform they have to get the message across, and it's been taken.

And the upshot of it is that we won't have to watch one the most hopelessly inconsistent performers I've ever had the misfortune to witness ever again

Except the biggest culprit for that is Gabby and he gets hero worship because in his case the fans memories are much shorter.

Bacuna made his bed and must still firmly lie in it after his 'performance' in the 6-0 against Liverpool. I just can't forget the fact he visibly gave up and couldn't give a fuck that day, therefore he deserves no fan loyalty whatsoever.

Maybe that's what the boo-boys remembered yesterday. Maybe his abject, incapable performance gave them flash-backs.

Correct, to a degree.

Fans don't have to be consistent, and anyway most of those fans have witnessed Gabby being an absolute menace in a very good Villa side, even if it was years ago.

Whereas Bacuna has just been gash from the word go, and has shown little to no improvement in 4 years or so.

[ChicagoLion]

Every time Bacuna has one of his shit games, you think welll thank god i won't have to see him again no before you know it he is back in the team.
Idiotic.

I agree that, for a lot of our fans, what someone did in the past is more important than what they've done in the last year or so.
