23 - Jules Kounde

[Richard.H]

Was our weakest point yesterday, our 2nd worst player after Fermin.

He lacks the quickness to face Vini, he usually have enough speed ro recover against quick winger but not to win a race, usually that is good enough because he is great in 1 vs 1 situations, not yesterday.

Vini is the best winger in the world, so no shame in the struggle.

I agree, maybe not the weakest point but definitely one of them. I am still not fully sold on him. He is not fast enough to be a WC RB and he is not strong enough to be a WC CB. He is very good, but nothing really amazing that gives me flashes of Abidal and Dani Alves like some posters here said.

 

[vuji_31]

I look him as CB, not RB.

I think he is temporary option for RB.

We really don't have anyone here to play as RB.

 

[FCBarca]

He’s been formidable as RB but reality is that a WC RB would add more, especially linking with Lamine

 

[khaled_a_d]

Nah, he is a RB now, who can be used as CB when needed.
But we will always need an alternative for certain games, Araujo probably good option.

 

[Gazzznigga]

He was okay.
I was concerned he would be roasted for pace by Vinicius. He more than held his own.

 

[akaranzo]

He could've rested today as all the players that played 80+ minutes in the Clasico were free from training, but he joined in anyway absolutely love this guy and his dedication

 

[FCMessi]

Kounde Somewhat Low Key surviving Vinicius.

As nerve wracking as Pena being pressed.

yeah but meanwhile people have been making memes about kounde pocketing vini. Kounde did well, but got skinned during the runs.

You're not going to have a 100% record against a player with the skill and pace of Vini Jr, not even a 80-90%, it's a manage of averages and he stop Vini more times than Vini got passed him.

The attacker will always have the advantage, they know what they want to do, you are simply trying to anticipate it.

 

[FCMessi]

yeah but meanwhile people have been making memes about kounde pocketing vini. Kounde did well, but got skinned during the runs.

Not many would expect Kounde with below average speed to survive Vini's every run.

Still might need to give Kounde credits for Not fouling Vini in the box after getting beat.

Araujo might have gotten red carded by Vini with 50 minutes to go.

The guy was already in training when Flick arrived.

 

[vuji_31]

Weren’t you one of the guys taking the biggest shits on him? Glad you finally came around.

 

[Joan]

Below average speed?
