Seems that Kounde is great in a lot of facets. Good defensively, physically robust, good progressor of the ball, his only big weakness imo is the error propensity/brainfarts.
Let's revisit that when all our 3 main CBs are fit. But from talk and performances this season alone it's pretty damn obvious Kounde is a starter and first choice.
Well, he's better than Christensen... not sure about Araujo. But we will only know for sure when all 3 are fit.Revisit what?
You think Kounde is better than Araujo/Christensen?
What are we to revisit?

Not like last season really counts when he had zero continiuity there.
Also Kounde is our best ball carrying CB. He has shown it more this season already and more akin to his Sevilla days. He's really elegant. Passing is ropey, but hey, the lord giveth and the lord taketh.
Please. Just looked it up and it was roughly a 50/50 CB:RB split, but with Roberto and the likes being next to him then Hardly much continuity with him playing 4 games at CB in a row at best (in 3 of them conceding none).It does count... he played a lot of games at CB and plenty players got moved about..

He's a damn fine player, but people here already went all in calling him a flop (not necessarily aimed at you).
He was the only CB consistently played out of position. Other players playing out of position (who apart from Gavi though???) don't matter. Also not discussing whether 50/50 strengthens your point or mine I am fairly leaning towards mine obviously. Playing every 2nd game somewhere else doesn't sound like continuity to me.Yes 50/50 probably more thn thought it was so strengthens point.
As said all the players played various positions and many a lot less than Kounde did at CB.
He played 19 games at CB in league and Araujo played 24 for example and Christensen played 27.He was the only CB consistently played out of position.

Name CB/RB (League only)He played 19 games at CB in league and Araujo played 24 for example and Christensen played 27.
Name CB/RB (League only)
Christensen 23/23 (100%)
Araujo 19/3 (86%)
Kounde 11/18 (37%!!!)
Not sure what I am discussing here.
