3 - Alejandro Balde

[MonteCuler]

I don't care about any critisism about Balde. Is he without faults? no. Is he a great LB, absolutely yes.

Yep and he will improve a lot I have little doubt, especially if Flick stays for a longer time

If it happens that his crossing improves to the extent it becomes really good, this guy will be unstoppable

 

[jaype]

He's a beast

Faaaaast

Así se hace muchachos y chachas ✓

 

[Barcaman]

I don't know how you guys can accept his limitations. Misses so many passes because he cant for his life use his right leg even for simplest of passes.

He's an average lb at best. Alba was a class above him

He's better than Alba was at 21. Alba didn't display his playmaking ability until later in his career (except cutbacks to Messi).

Balde is far far better than Alba ever was at dribbling and 1v1. Different types of fullbacks right now if we compare.

Balde 3 seasons ago was better than Balde now. No guarantees player improves.

Balde is 3rd choice in Spain lb spot and rightfully.

Will be very lucky to ever ascend to Alba level.

Balde never played better than he's been since January this season.

Great game.

Balde and Inigo were very good.

 

[jamrock]

He's probably playing at the level he was in the 2nd half of our title winning season.

Best is still yet to come

 

[JamDav1982]

Playing like he did today is better than he was in title season.

This is his best season.. he gets tired in some games as so physical a role.

siuuuuuuu

Alba is a Barca legend, but aside from the take off sprints/bursts and the cut backs, I felt he was a limited player. When a team plays in a system where those those 2 are relegated, Alba would be a Semedo level level full back for Barca.

Balde is clearly ahead in all other areas.

 

[FCMessi]

Balde full-time LB and part-time LW.
