23 - Jules Kounde

[jairzinho]

Almost had another brain fart similar to the one against Celta last season. Header was well taken. 6.5/10.

He has them near enough every game.

 

[jairzinho]

He has them near enough every game.

He gets caught in two minds too often.

 

[serghei]

It's like he needs to have one what the fuck moment per game.

Good that he upgrades his offensive level. Assist vs Newcastle, goal today.

 

[JamDav1982]

Those moments far too often and then slow footed when wide players can stand him up.

 

[Barcaman]

His head is not entirely there. Even kids see it by now. Vital goal though.

 

[Birdy]

I have been telling everyone he is not the man to start for Barca at RB

The way he lost his marker at the 0-1 was amateurish for an RB

Header says little to me, since it was 80% Rashford's delivery and only 20% his own doing...

 

[ajnotkeith]

He is more sluggish than he used to be historically, he added some unnecessary muscle mass and he can get frozen by wide players too often.

His offensive contribution has actually been very good for a CB converted to fullback, its defensively where he is making some random mistakes, but I like him, he just needs to be more agile and quick thinking sometimes in defense.

 

[serghei]

Don't blame him that much for the goal, but the shot off the post by Kubo is because he gave the ball away stupidly.

 

[Horatio]

Finally you guys taking note what I been saying. Poor on ball, no agility. Press him and hes forced to shoot against opponent hoping it goes out in rebound.

He does have good instinct and technique as seen by goals and assists.
But body too heavy to manoeuvre when less space given.

But has contributed to our successes.
But moving forward ideally barca would have a player that does better when pressed.

 

[serghei]

You guys want to find a better fullback than Kounde... better get the checkbook for Hakimi .

You take his errors and live with them hoping they don't pop in in big games. And they don't so far.

He is more focused in big games usually.

No. I understand situation, hence I said ideally.

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

he knows he won't get dropped unless late to training so he's as comfy as Trashy was at United before bomb squad implosion

“We lacked sharpness, defending, we didn’t close down the deep pass, which killed us a bit on the goal.

“I think I didn’t like our last 25 minutes. I think we suffered a lot, and we didn’t manage to control the ball well. Before that, in the first seventy minutes, I can say it was very good, we had chances, and perhaps we could have scored more than two goals.”

He says the right things but often it's him who "lacks sharpness".
