    23 - Jules Kounde

    He was massively over rated last season with 'best RB in world' shouts. Everything he is showing as weakness this season have alwys been there.. just even worse now. Always been a decent CB playing RB.

    They are two of the best but being man marked there is no players taking ball there deep and doing much more than passing it back to defence at best. Try man marking Chelsea midfielders and leaving Gusto/Cucu on ball while pressing high and see what happens.... it wont be the ball getting...

    23 - Jules Kounde

    This fantasy that he is good on ball and a top defender surely now died. Even last season..his best he was still done 1v1 and leaving too much room constantly and had brain farts near enough every game.

    No.. they are two of the best in world under pressure but it is not a pass you make when players are man marked like that. Goes with any player. Teams can pressure them more due to so little threat from other ways out and how poor like of Kounde are on ball.

    23 - Jules Kounde

    His brain freezes and he makes some moronic decisions when pressed. Teams are playing on it time and again. They show him the ball and then close in.

    Barca were facing same issues v PSG, Sevilla with Pedri. Were failing to win 4 of the last 5 games he played in with a lot of same issues. Of course Pedri improves team but those same issues still there.

    Thats not how Spain have been setting up recently. Pedri been deeper and Merino at AM to add physicality in box. Spain also dont have to play teams of standard of those top teams in CL either.

    And lack of options out of it as Fermin doesnt have the thought to try and take game into his feet to relieve presure and there is no pace at CF or threat of early ball there.

    Far from 'two at base causing problems'. By far bigger issues than that.

    Olmo is the better AM v the top teams.. when confident. He was better than Fermin when came on today. Even with 10 men.

    Zubimendi is not a strong defender. He isnt for example doing more for Arsenal than Frenkie does for Barcad defensively. Pedri hasnt played it with Rodri yet really.

    Ferran and Fermin fucked up multiple times that Balde and Frenkie broke game open in first half. Balde can do it on the dribble.. ask him to pass ball and its a hard watch.

    Spain play Pedri deeper in a two now. FDJ/Pedri Olmo is Barca best midfield for taking ball in tight games. But still the reason teams can press them like that is in large part due to how Barca lack pace particularly at CF and how poor likes o Kounde/Araujo and BAlde are when asked to make...

    Which was Fermin who couldnt control ball or have any idea what to do with it. But still happens due to teams knowing also Barca have no pace up top and at CF while full backs are like rabbits in headlights when pressed.

    Caicedo and Enzo didnt play as a duo. Enzo was more or less a striker for most of game today and he when plays deeper can get run off a lot.

    Even with Pedri Chelsea would have done the same. Man marked him and FDJ and show ball to fullbacks/Araujo. And most likely would have caused a lot of same problems.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    The team lacks players than can play ball out from back and also lack pace 1v1 up top. Both PSG and Chelsea exposed that big time and targetted it. They both shut off balls by man marking midfield. Show ball to full backs and also Araujo. There is no early long ball to get past it either or...

    Olmo is a better player than Fermin when fit., Fermin second striker and tazmanian devil works at times and v dross but he does not have a single clue how to slow game down and progress it up the park in tight games when need that.

    Barca were not dominating before the red tonight.

    Joan Laporta

    Folk actually think Lewa and Kounde were top signings. 150m for Lewa over 4 years while lose a player who has pace and wins CL/Balondor at CF.
