  1. 8/10 so far. Sketchy sometimes but so dangerous offensively. Happy he’s here now that both fullbacks are injured

  2. Straight-Signal-5355 on

    So far so good. We finally have a fullback who can deliver a good cross 

  3. AdventurousEscape991 on

    Started off wobbly but his last two performances have been masterclasses

  4. Terrible at the start. Clearly lacking form and confidence in this system.

    Now i would say 7or 8 out of 10.
    Much improved, connecting passes, completing skills, good crosses.

  5. Well I think he should start more, especially vs low blocks which Barca deals a lot with. Would be also nice if Lewa came back soon so he can be a target man for him.

    Keep him away from any defensive roles and he thrives. Never have that man defend in his life anymore.

    Good as long as he doesn’t run out of gaz fast. Crosses that we’ve never seen from Balde, and offensively better than Balde. Tho he is a liability in defence.

  8. Regardless of whether he’s consistent or not hes definitely a brilliant move by Laporta board.

  9. Es un gran refuerzo, hoy se asoció con Yamal de una manera magistral.

    Excelente movimiento de la directiva.

  10. He’s much more mature than his last stint with us. He still has those sharp ball skills, and a real sense of how to create danger on the attack. But he seems to be much calmer on the ball, especially at the back, or in general on defense. If he can control his worst impulses, he’s a world class wingback.

    First Matches 5.5/10, Last Two Matches he’s Putting up Prime Dani Alves Performances 10/10.

  12. He has been really good the last couple matches.

    I’m glad to have him specially today for example where we are 2 fullbacks down. I still dont understand the hate this move got. Its a loan and if he doesn’t perform he returns back to saudi.

  13. getting better every game, he himself said eh was out of shape when he got to barcelona. Balde finally has some competition

  14. Hes much better on the right and I wish Flick would’ve given Kounde more rest with Cancelo in the team now

    Today proved why he was the right winter signing, being able to go from LB to RB in a big game like today shows he needs to start more.

    First couple matches were… well, he struggled. But the last few matches he has been really good. I hope he can keep up this form. We need him now that Balde and Jules are out for the time being.

    Dude we just gotta get Kounde back to being a cb and have Cancelo play on Yamal’s side

  18. He is super dangerous on the left….cz we don’t have much creative output from the left which he improves and yamal pulls players towards himselff on the right….ripple effect of this is that balde is usually unmarked or 1v1 on the left but he isn’t great in final 3rd….that’s where cancelo comes in…

    With cancelo being threat from the left, pressure from yamal on the right gets relived and thus kounde performances can improve too cz right will be less crowded….

    But cancelo on the right is kinda different story…. We already have yamal on the right…yamal cancelo link up can be dangerous but on other hand on the right flick keeps yamal up the pitch cz in case of counter attack he can receive the ball and then play decicive final ball as well as act as outlet to relive the pressure….
    This increasing defending “hardness” for kounde…but he was good last season cz he vs great at 1v1…..he is now struggling but that’s different topic….

    Now put cancelo on the right…we don’t get too much increase in creative output from right cz it’s already insane….but our defensive liability increases….

    Cancelo is tactical chess piece….

  19. Him and Yamal on the right side is so dangerous. Today they showed great chemistry
