Opinion about lewandowski and kounde
I am watching Supercup between Barca and real Madrid and I noticed some things.
About kounde: He's been VERY incosistenst this season and is not natural right back. Last season he was amazing, both in defense and attacking, he was playing nearly every minute available but I think that fatigue is catching up to him. Little mistakes, lacking in defense, vini did him dirty at that first goal. I just don't rate him as high as I did last year and for me Eric garcia is better at rb than kounde. This is a hot take but I think that hector fort or any other right back at barca will be a starter soon (myb cancelo). With cancelo you at least know u can attack down the flank because he has great vision and he is also technical. Something needs to change with kounde ASAP.
About lewandowski: his age is catching up with him. He doesn't control the ball well anymore, his passing is meh, dribbling isn't that good but je still has a sense for scoring and being in the right spot in the right time, he still has that goalscoring instict. But Barca soon needs to get a new striker (not ferran) because lewa isn't getting any younger. Alvarez is a good shout but I doubt that atletico is going to let him go, even if they do, he isn't going to Barca for less than 90-100m. Lewa can still play for 1 more season (after this one).
