23 - Jules Kounde

I'm not arguing that he has concentration issues at times, as does Balde. However, these problems are not systematic. Saying that he makes big mistakes every game and that he is bad vs dribbling is a lie.

No it isnt.. he is not good defending on the dribble and he makes big fuck ups game after game on ball.

He has always been quoted in the market as one of the most technical CPs in European soccer.

Obviously, it is more difficult for a specialized center back to play on the flank. Ok, sell Kounde, who will you bring in?

No one with an ounce of a clue thinks Kounde has ever been one of the most technical defenders.

He goes from moments of top technique to pure amatuer level moments every game near enough.

Do the stats lie? Name me 1-2 other top club and top league defenders who have played more than 20 games in a season and have better numbers vs dribbling.

There is barely a top LW dribbler in La Liga and he backs off far too much as gets done too easily.

Lets a lot of balls into box.

Not a top 1v1 player or close.

We have played 2 games against Real Madrid and a game against Athletic, where top left wingers play. How many times has he beaten them on the dribble? How many times has he stepped in off the dribble in those matches? Give me examples from those games where he for example unnecessarily dropped back.

Same Real who in his time at club has not been trusted to play RB against often as poor 1v1.

How many times has he stepped in off the dribble in those matches? Give me examples from those games where he for example unnecessarily dropped back.

I cite a statistic that says he is one of the best right-backs in terms of successful tackling vs dribbling among La Liga, Premier League and Bundesliga players - and you respond - ah, he often drops back. OK, I cite a statistic that says that he among the players at the top clubs from La Liga, Premier League and Bundesliga no one commits more selection vs dribbling attempts besides Trent - and you respond - ah, there are no strong right wingers in La Liga. Ok, I ask you to analyze the games against Bilbao and Real Madrid where top wingers play and prove you right.
