23 - Jules Kounde

[JamDav1982]

Yeah, well, for me a player that can score a solo goal when the game hangs by a thread vs biggest teams is worth it almost all the time.

Didnt happen.. and no defenders are not judged on a few attacking moments.

Can point to those for Eric, Araujo.. Gerard etc.

Same Kounde who lost his man to let Real score in same game.. but that doesnt count.

Go tell us again how Kounde is Barcas best defender on the ball.

Which defender we have scored even one goal like that? Nobody.

 

[JamDav1982]

So you argument for Kounde is he scored a long range effort v Real?

Doesnt matter he has been nowhere near one of Barcas best defenders this season and poor.. becauce he once scored a long range effort.

Top stuff.

What does Baldes goal v Real in Supercup say about him? Can Kounde do that?

No, that's a bonus and speaks of his potential to score big goals in big moments.

There's the assist to Rashford vs Newcastle, 2 goals vs Frankfurt, adds up.

No.. its a one off moment and not a 'bonus' as he doesnt do basics well enough nearly as often as should.

Does Baldes goal v Real in Supercup put him ahead of Kounde as Kounde couldnt do that?

 

[DonAK]

Not getting into this.

Just want to say that Kounde's defending is overrated and he isn't good enough in attack either.

We need to find an upgrade very soon. Renewing his contract might screw us in hindsight.

If we lose vs Frankfurt it's probably bye bye top 8. We were dreadful that game and he saved us.

Now we'll see. Season barely got into the real do or die stretch.

Unless you weren't satisfied last season, which would be odd to say the least since he was among the best in both finals we played and won.

If he doesnt score an og or fail to do basics in other games maybe Barca dont need that game for top 8.

[DonAK]

Now we'll see. Season barely got into the real do or die stretch.

Don't need to see him in the do or die stretch to see that we need an upgrade.

Hopefully he will play better, but he's really the ideal player to move on from and get some money for.

Always some excuse.

Upgrades are possible everywhere, almost all the time. The chances we can upgrade Kounde are very slim. I would rather have a player who can contributes vs bigger teams than one that is focused in smaller games but can't impact bigger ones.

What does Baldes goal against Real in Supercup Final mean about him as a player?

Given that you claim Kounde is 'Barcas best defender' and far better than Balde.

Then again you also claim Kounde is Barcas best defender on the ball when is absolutely nowhere

 

[TheStig]

Even Roberto was better than him in attack, some random goals don't change anything as they are very rare. His main quality should be defense as a former CB and a physical player (compared to our schoolboys) and we see how that turned out. Would still play him as we have no one better but should at least rotate him in easier games at CN with Cancelo. Hope Espart joins the team now that he's healthy.

If it's at 2-2, it means a lot.
