Well it is not easy to play as CB in this team, you play on opponemts half, got 50meters of space behind you, there is no CDM in front of you...

Few times he did not have anyone to pass the ball and he made error...

He needs to be more carefull, but he is our last problem with his perfomances this season.

Absolutely pathetic defending for that goal.

Has awful moments game after game.

Some good defending also but too many fuck ups and nowhere near the player some Barca fans try to make out.

To be fair to him Xavis tactics are leaving CBs out to dry and little protection.

I agree. Nothing great about him in terms of actual defensive ability. Gets overrated because he is good on the ball usually.

He isnt even as good on ball as made out. Gives it away cheaply a lot.

I think he would be fine in a well structured defence where decisons were taken away from him but when left 1 v1 in this chaotic set up he cant cope at times.

Cancelo and Balde at FB and no proper DM is leaving CBs exposed but still within that he is making a lot of errors.

being left 1v1 at times is a lot different than always being 1v1 on every attack

If keeps up this sloppiness this will be his second season of getting turned in and out by La Liga attackers, hope not.

You mean the first one where he was part of a historic defence? Bad mistake yesterday, but overall season has been more than fine so far. He has been easily our best defender.

Also Kounde has the most progressive carries in the top 5 Leagues.

'Easily best defender' when Araujo barely played and Christensen been in and out carrying an injury is not some huge claim. Particularly in a defence shipping goals anyway.

He is making big errors near enough every game and yesterday was atrocious.

He hasnt been as good at CB this season as either Araujo or Christensen was last season.

I mean Christensen and Araujo last season were backed by... *drum roll*... Kounde last season. Now we are still figuring out how to make Cancelo work. Kounde has been our standout defender so far, it's non-sense to dispute that.

Christensen and any other defender out there (otherwise suggestions are welcome) had their fair share of mistakes as well.

Availability is a huge plus!

I agree that the CBs had more protection last season but even outwirh that they dealt with situations better and made less errors.

Not all Koundes errors are coming from that. Yesterday he was left exposed by Gavi then 1v1 and dealt with it badly.

The argument has never been that no player makes mistakes and I think Kounde is making too many for getting the praise he is by some and this was argued before his latest one yesterday.

Know scraping barrel when comes down to how often a player is available.

If available and not playing well enough it becomes irrelevant.

Played maybe his best game vs Porto and one of the worst vs. Granada, never rated this guy and I'd sell in a heartbeat.
