I know that he's not very good, but he's getting off lightly in my opinion with fans saying that he's not a right back. He may well not be, that doesn't stop him showing some commitment to the cause, he's even stopped kicking players. Looks to me like he's downed tools a bit.

Looking at the body language, the demeanour of the players, the lack of urgency and belief, the feeling that after 10 minutes the whole team has run out of ideas, tells me that something ain't right.
The same can be said about any of our defence, defensive midfield too for that matter.
We have conceded some really poor goals this season, something that wasn't there, or if it was it wasn't obvious, last season.
Too many people unwilling, or not knowing how, to get a block in or stop a cross.

That could be down to the fact that Bacuna is a right sided midfielder and not a natural right sided defender which has disrupted the defence in general, but I doubt it as he has put in some good performances this season.

Unfortunately, the depth of quality there and in other key positions that most saw as a potential problem early on, is playing out.

I have to agree with the OP (lthough not having seen the interview myself so taking it as written) to blame a player, who has now left us, in a game that happened before the latest loss is a cheap shot, but an understandable one from a man who seems to be staring down the barrel, again.
