3 - Alejandro Balde

[Joan]

It seems Dest is starting as LB tommorow

Cowman is idiot

If Balde doesn't get to star after a good display against Bayern, don't know if he ever will.

 

[jamrock]

Don't rush.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Don't rush.

Exactly. This guy is super young. Let him develop. Dest is more ready anyway and even he has his problems.

 

[ajnotkeith]

Starts against granada today!

 

[Messigician]

Let's hope alba returns

 

[Joan]

I like what I'm seeing.

 

[gasgas]

His crossing is

 

[te amo barca]

He is an awful crosser, that was evident since Barca B days.

 

[Gaudi]

Well, do you think we practice our wide players that? What's the point when it's not in our DNA

 

[ajnotkeith]

Only youngster today again who I saw positives from. Demir awful & provided nothing and all Gavi has done is lose the ball. Balde missed a lot of crosses but could at least beat his man and provide threat.

Thought he and Gavi were good, despite the poor start. Balde missed lots of crosses, but he was otherwise neat, won some balls, nice dribbles, beat his man often to spam those crosses. And also noticed he escapes pressure rather well. Progressive player and didn't look out of place.

Agree, Gavi had some great moments right after I posted that. That assist was impressive. Started badly but in games like this you have to keep pushing and trying n so who can provide that moment of class to break the deadlock? It was him today with a great final ball.

Agree on Balde too that he looks very mature contrary to what some were saying actually, seems to understand his positioning and progression in the attack well but just lacks an end product.

 

[vegitot]

Hope his back is ok. He can be Alba's back up

 

[JohnN]

Replace Alba already. Crossing is not our thing anyway and alba is equally bad at them. Balde looks great on beating the press and his man. Also good at combining and very fast. Sell alba asap.

Would be a dream to use balde and sell alba....but will probably remain a dream.
