Bacuna (9 replies)

Bowyer needs to spend some time with him on the training pitch this week.
We all know he has talent and can beat a man but he'd contribute more if he
avoided trying to beat his man every single time he has the ball. An early pass to a team mate
is often more valuable. Bacuna lately seems to have slipped into the mistaken belief that he must always take an opponent on.
I'm hoping that he or the coaches recognise just how costly that can be for us against teams with pace. Seems in recent games he loses posession too often in our own half and we're then struggling to regroup.
It's not uncommon in the game but he needs to reduce the amount of times he's caught and must improve his passing accuracy.
I'm not sure what his stats are in that respect but our play/ball retention is breaking down too often when we know he is capable of much better.
We're sadly accustomed to seeing Sunjic and Gardner wasting stuff , we don't need another !
