When are we going to resolve the left back issue? For a long time now, I have strongly believed that our #3 is not a defender as he does not possess the qualities of defender required in professional football. I guess he'll do well as a left winger.

Balde is barely a footballer honestly, he can run, some dribbles here and there with fuck all end product. Not a winger or a defender.

He is good at defending his main problem is physical and loss of concentration issues (as for every defender in Flick high line)

Balde is our LB for the future. Deal with it

It's actually in attack that he's killing us. Can't cross can't pass and can't use his right foot for shit and often over complicates simple stuff

Wouldnt call him a good defender currently.

Positionally he can be woeful and doesnt engage enough. Always wants to back off and make it a race and can get passed round/leaves a lot of space for opposition.

Concentration has nothing to do with his lack of defending ability. Some players can defend if focused. Balde could never defend well. He's an incapable defender. Simple as that.

So, he either gets great at delivering in the last 3rd, or he'll be cut form the team relatively quickly.

Over a year ago, I said Balde does not deserve to be in Spanish NT and that there are 2-3 better LBs in La Liga on top of Cucu and Grimaldo.
So yeah, not even top 5 Spanish lbs.

While Balde is basically useless outside of dribbling in our own half. I would also say that he is used improperly. Maybe try him as inverted LB he seems to be fine playing inside. Useless on the outside for sure.

Otherwise Cancelo go try something at least with Cancelo you know he can pass and cross and offer 0 defense.

When we get a pure LW we can use Balde properly

That's maybe part of the reason Deco was so keen on Diaz this summer. Our left side would be maybe as good as our right if he arrived

Same folk who say 'no matter what Barca would lose 4-0' when it comes to Flick try to put it on certain players the next moment.

Usuals cant even keep up with their own arguments.

Flicks tactics were awful. Team selection with likes of Casado was poor and no players played well.

It happens.. happens to every team.. Just have to try and limit how often and all need to do better.
