23 - Jules Kounde

Barca would be so much more effective with a RB that could carry ball forward and over lap with energy.

If only Balde was a RB would be perfect on the same side to let Yamal have more freedom and more difficult time being marked by opposition.

Kounde just looks what he is. A decent CB playing RB who is not smooth on ball and lacks technique when pressed. If left with time he can come up with top moments on ball also.

Surprised Flick hasnt tried him at CB more this season and Garcia RB to see how it goes.

Ofc people are blaming Flick for his bad performances now, expected this

People who lack basic understanding about nature of human relations. Kounde is a reliable player who's served us 3 good seasons, for Flick last season he was one of the most reliable players, played every damn minute and scored a trophy winning goal, in 2nd half of the season until injury had incredible run of form

When such reliable and hard working players have a bad spell, it is not convenient to put them on the bench immediately and replace with whoever. This is how you lose trust among players. Not just Kounde, everybody would lose trust in Flick if he did that

Now I'm not saying his performances should be tolerated because of this. But we should wait a little bit more. If in El Clasico he shows no improvement then maybe gradually Eric should start taking his place

Flick's fault for keeping him.

Should've sought his exit over summer.

Nasty work.
You know yourself there is no chance he would get a replacement

They barely got him the signings they did, Man U leftover and Swedish guy who just screwed his ACL. Even had troubles registering Roony

That is reason number 1. Reason 2, like I said, he is a manager based on man management and he does it very well. Players trust him and there is a reason. He likely won't put you on the market if you score a late winner in CDR final against Madrid and consistently perform over the season
