3 - Alejandro Balde

[JamDav1982]

He's better than Semedo and Dest were.

And possibly Cancelo.

Although that is not saying much.

He is on a different planet to Dest and Semedo.

Not always been his biggest fan but he has been better recently in build up and final third.. just think he is being asked to do too much and is absolutely fucked in 2nd halfs.

 

[jamrock]

He's good and will get better if I had a winger he could play off, raphinha isn't really that type of player, even though their link up has been getting better recently.

He's literally the least of our worries, definitely top 5 U21 FBs in the world when you look at his first season and this season so far.

Will only get better with time, needs to work on his crossing

 

[Andresito]

As frustrating as he may look, he is on 6 assists in 27 games. Tsimikas+Robbo don't beat that, Theo is on 3 (albeit 4 goals), Dimarco 7, Mendes 2, Davies 3.

Kounde also on 7. Perhaps numbers are inflated due to our attack.

The fact that Kounde is beyond average in dribbles per 90 speaks how shit fullbacks are at the moment.

Need to get Waffles up to the B and into the mix next season.

Means we can probably discard needing a LB signing for a bit.

 

[Porque]

Mendy

 

[vuji_31]

Bring in Maffeo.

I still remember that game when he was man marking Messi.

Also hates Madrid as us.

 

[FCBfan22]

Mendy

No accurate passes whatsoever

 

[te amo barca]

the hate is weird. Been brilliant past 3-4 games.

Kounde also on 7. Perhaps numbers are inflated due to our attack.

He has 4 assists this season. Penalties earned aren't assists.

 

[Loki]

I criticized him often enough, but he's in the best moment of his career so far. If he can keep it up and improve his last pass into the box, he'll be beyond any doubts.

 

[jamrock]

Nah he was much better than this in his first season, he's just getting back to it slowly.

Since he's been promoted under both managers, he's been ask to basically provide all the width on his side, with no one to play off, one of the main reasons why I said the club should sign Nico.

A winger like that would unlock him even more.

Obviously raphinha wouldn't be dropped, just to be clear.

 

[JamDav1982]

The fact that Kounde is beyond average in dribbles per 90 speaks how shit fullbacks are at the moment.

Definitely helps Kounde the fact the defenders are shit scared of Yamal in final third.

His final ball can still be poor a bit too often.. but more decent ones also.

It helps him that Flick wants more runners into the box and more to aim at than trying to pick up Lewa.

 

[xXKonan]

I'm not surprised by Mendy on the chart, even though he did win two CLs with Real, He's like the total antithesis of the last couple of starting LBs Real had for years such as Roberto Carlos and Marcelo.
