@By20Made @31Juno @_Culture_Troll And you cannot play a left winger without limiting Raphinha’s game. A natural left winger is a trade off Flick is making to get the best out of Raphinha and it works. 🤷

@_fcbjay @31Juno @_Culture_Troll I never said they were RARE AT ALL. I said inside forwards are supporting strikers and that's what Rapha is. Not a winger.

Some folks have more faith in Kounde becoming good "again" than Balde becoming world class? I need this explained to me.

@By20Made @31Juno @_Culture_Troll Have wanted to get more out of that but I am sorry i mean crossing the ball in the stands and killing birds with shots cannot make him displace Raphinha and disrupt his whole confidence and game. Simple and plain.

@By20Made @31Juno @_Culture_Troll That is my question to you. Cancelo underlaps and Balde underlaps. Yet their underlapping is worlds apart. Then you say no no cancelo different traits much better well duh that’s the point? Balde is not good enough? If showed quality when he underlapped then yeah flick would

@By20Made @31Juno @_Culture_Troll The absolute irony of saying i am running in circles when you absolutely haven’t grasped the singular concept that ASSISTS ≠ THREAT. How hard is it? Balde is absolutely shit compared to alot of lbs right now and it is true. Regardless of your take on it.

@_fcbjay @31Juno @_Culture_Troll And how many assist did Balde have compared to Nuno last season. My niggas, I'm about to stop engaging you. You're going in circles with a fucking point. You want final pass and threat, he delivered last season. Now, he's hurt & off form but yeah, he's shit compared to Cancelo

@By20Made @31Juno @_Culture_Troll I am showing you how football is not SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYED A CERTAIN WAY. Flick does not need a lw otherwise he would have been in the market for a lw to shift raphinha in the 9. He has always played with an inside forward. He isn’t changing that to platform “Balde” lmfao

@_fcbjay @31Juno @_Culture_Troll My guy. Bayern were too fluid that season. That's not a benchmark. That's an outlier. Why are you picking and choosing specifics. Football isn't specific.

@By20Made @31Juno @_Culture_Troll City sevilla atleti and many more. Trent is averaging 2.17 chances per 90 compared to balde’s 1.11. They are not even in the same stratosphere.

@_fcbjay @31Juno @_Culture_Troll Against Bayern? Name another team. Name 3 teams or games he's done that against this season. I'll wait.

@By20Made @31Juno @_Culture_Troll I saw Salah, Mane and Son win golden boots only to hear that wingers shouldn’t be scorers 💀

@_fcbjay @31Juno @_Culture_Troll All these players have an average of 13-14 goals per season in their league. That's normal for a winger. Now check out Rapha's league goals last season and this season. He had 36 last season. 13 this season despite injuries Rapha is not a winger brother.

@By20Made @31Juno @_Culture_Troll Huh? Raphinha 36 in the league? Bro you just doubled it. He had 18 in laliga last season.

@By20Made @31Juno @_Culture_Troll For the ucl finalists psg, kvara has scored 10 goals in the champions league. And not goals i meant g/a and kvara is tied for the most g/a in the ucl this season. Wingers are supposed to give g/a. This is modern football.

@_fcbjay @31Juno @_Culture_Troll Also, I don't know your aim at asking for this season's CL top scorer because it's clearly Mbappe and he's definitely not a Winger.

@By20Made @31Juno @_Culture_Troll THE SAME PERSON WHO FCKING RELEASES JOAO CANCELO WHEN HE UNDERLAPS????? How is this so difficult to understand? Cancelo underlaps in the same system as balde. Then you start talking about how Cancelo is just better. Instead of the fact that balde needs to improve.

@_fcbjay @31Juno @_Culture_Troll Big dawg, I don't know how to get this to you but he under laps, however, there isn't a player to release him. Yamal releases Kounde when he underlaps. Who releases Balde when he does? My guy, that's why we need a fucking LW. They both need the dynamism. This shit is simple.

@By20Made @31Juno @_Culture_Troll Raphinha would not mind doing it for balde too if balde could attack like cancelo. Yamal plays with a defensive rb and doesn’t have to run back as much.

@_fcbjay @31Juno @_Culture_Troll Since Cancelo's arrival, he's played more with Rapha than with Rashford on that LW. And we all saw how Rapha had to take on extra-defensive shifts to cover for him compared to when paired with Balde. You know there are nuances to these things right?

@By20Made @31Juno @_Culture_Troll That is why flick wants to spent on a cf instead and keep rashford for a bench role because he wante to keep playing rapha as a lw

@_fcbjay @31Juno @_Culture_Troll If we get a proper LW, he's gonna be played there because Rapha can't sit. The constant threat he poses won't be overlooked.

@By20Made @31Juno @_Culture_Troll Balde has been a first team player for 4-5 seasons and has 160 pro games. Stop giving him a debutant’s treatment.

@_fcbjay @31Juno @_Culture_Troll ...and professionals develop at different stages in their careers.

Generational fall off

@By20Made @31Juno @_Culture_Troll And an inside forward isn’t a rare profile AT ALL. Especially in Flick’s system. Flick loves inside forwards. Look at gnabry. Alot of top teams use it. Madueke at arsenal lw. Semenyo at city rw. Rodrygo at madrid?

@_fcbjay @31Juno @_Culture_Troll An Inside Forward is a supporting striker. That's what Rapha is. He makes runs behind the CB's line. Kvara and Vini aren't inside forwards.

@By20Made @31Juno @_Culture_Troll Trent????? Did you see his passes against bayern? I will drop you a trent comp of this season, compare it against balde and you will think that they play different sports.

@_fcbjay @31Juno @_Culture_Troll How many games has Trent played this season? How many threats has he? Common bro. Lets keep this thing grounded in facts and reality.

@By20Made @31Juno @_Culture_Troll He has always wanted goalscoring wingers. Why do you think flick used gnabry at rw more than sane? Despite gnabry being right footed inside forward? Because of NUMBERS.

@_fcbjay @31Juno @_Culture_Troll He doesn't want a goal scoring winger. He wants a lethal 9.

@By20Made @31Juno @_Culture_Troll We have had plenty of chances and transitions coming from the left. Off the top of my head I can find multiple examples from last season alone. One being against benfica in knockouts.

@_fcbjay @31Juno @_Culture_Troll Countless is an overstretch. Look at how we play. We barely have those chances. Our gameplay is mostly through RW and the middle. The LW is inactive. Flick has adapted the system to maximize his forwards that's why we scored so much in his first season.

@By20Made @31Juno @_Culture_Troll Like he does with cancelo? Tell me why flick never asks fermin to stretch the pitch for balde? BECAUSE HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH IN THE POCKETS.

@By20Made @31Juno @_Culture_Troll And how do you not understand that Balde is not ready to underlap? Do you really think balde never underlaps throughout the 90? HE DOES. He just doesn’t provide any value when he underlaps. Hence Flick puts him at lw. If he could provide value underlapping then flick will do it
