23 - Jules Kounde

[te amo barca]

He is ok on ball at CB. Far from elite. At RB he can more or less do one ball.. down the line.

He is very comfortable with the ball at CB and one of the best in the world. You haven't seen it because he doesn't play CB at Barca.

 

[JamDav1982]

He is nowhere near Barcas best CB on the ball and barely better than Araujo is now.

Christensen is levels above both.

Because he's playing at RB... The passing angles and the way you dribble on the wing are just different.

Short memories, eh?

Yes he is worse at RB.. but at CB he is not as good on ball as being made out and not on likes of Christensen level or elite on ball.

 

[fergus90]

He?s the best with the ball, but simply doesn?t play in the center. He?s not a rightback.

Don't get me wrong I like the guy but it was meant more as a compliment to Barca's defensive strength now, that the guy that was signed to be the ball playing CB cannot actually start there due to the quality of Araujo and Christensen.

He was signed for his ahtleticsm more than being a ball playing CB really.

 

[Porque]

Kounde will have plenty of opportunities at CB, for now it is not his moment. This season he is our best option for RB, and probably next too until Araujo or Christensen go down and he gets his chance back in the middle.

Not a liability per se at RB, but he will have problem moments there every odd game- on or off the ball.

 

[Andresito]

What is this, Kounde is a lot better on the ball than Araujo.

 

[CatalinR10]

What the actual fuck man ?

 

[JamDav1982]

He is nowhere near as good on ball as folk make out.

His defendng is ropey too often also.

 

[fergus90]

Better at RB

Very high level jinx this

 

[FCMessi]

slowness exposed vs a stronger team

 

[Sailor Mars]

He has been in bad form since the start of the World Cup.

Yes he hasn't played CB regularly for some time and had a brand new partner, but no excuse to make the mistakes he made tonight.
