I'm not going to get myself hyped because a lot can happen between the ages of 16 and 21, but for the moment I'm glad that we finally have a winger that's aesthetically pleasing on the ball. He's quick, knows how to dribble, knows how to look good when he dribbles, does tricks, fantastic...

lmaoo

What a goal, most exciting game United has played all season. Ten Hag's substitutions and game management almost lost them the game, but he was saved by individual brilliance.

Neymar was very fast. Just not the fastest winger/forward of his generation like Mbappe and Ronaldo Nazario (CR7) is/were. Just because you're not the fastest doesn't mean you're not fast. Neymar at his prime easily blew past most fullbacks with ease.

I mean that's exactly my point, Dembele doesn't score because of his position but because of his lack of talent. You compare any goal scoring winger in a top team to Dembele you'll see that they either have similar heat maps to Dembele, or more demanding heatmaps altogether (like Neymar).

Just for fun, a certain user's excuse for Dembele not scoring goals and providing enough assists is because he's a "true winger, whose job is to dribble and create from the touchline." Compare Dembele's heatmap to Salah's and Neymar's https://www.sofascore.com/player/neymar/124712...

In hindsight, reading this is hilarious.

Birdy frequently rationalizes Dembele's poor end product by telling us he's a "touchline winger", and therefor it's not his job to provide goals. I pointed out that every world class winger is capable of (and frequently do) playing on the touchline like Dembele does, alongside scoring goals at a...

Wingers are forwards. He's not special. Salah, Son, Neymar at Barca were constantly found hugging the touchline dribbling and creating chances. They accomplished this alongside scoring goals. It's not like Dembele stays at the touchline 24/7. He finds himself in the final 3rd quite often, in...

Expecting a forward to have end product is not stupid. He struggles to score goals because his finishing and movement is atrocious, not because it's not 'his job.' One goal and 4 assists by the 28th of November is embarrassing, no matter how you spin it. Absurd copium, as has always been the...

No one criticizes him because he doesn't score 50 goals a season, people criticize him because he can't seem to score goals at all. It'll be December in a few days and he has 1 goal and 4 assists for PSG in total.

How long are you supposed to dream for that outcome? Dude was here for 6 years and at his best was only useful for half a season. It's not like we gave him one season and kicked him out. Come on.

Or selling Dembele without lining up an adequate replacement. Raph, Ferran and Lewa are certainly not players worth selling parts of your club for. Yeah, he's been trash so far.

I said it before 2 or so years ago, a team can't rely on 16-20 year olds. They're too raw and fragile. It's an understatement how Bartomeu financially bankrupting the club has really derailed it for the foreseeable future.

This has always been the case, even during his stay here. It's a common point but I don't understand why people love to bring it out so much. Our wingers, have all essentially been shit since Neymar left. We've always had at least one world class forward in their prime, from Ronaldo Nazario to...

The almost complete inability to control games is worrying. Also don't like how none of our forwards are lethal, now. Not enough pace upfront. I don't care for him, but if you were going to replace Dembele with Felix then maybe we should have kept Dembele. Also, love De Jong but it's worrying...

It would make sense. He's a left winger, we need a left winger. But uh...we've got no money.

We need an actual winger there. I'm glad he's doing somewhat well but I am also glad it's just a loan.

You're clearly against the assertion that he never really consistently contributed to the club (as that's what you highlighted), and your counter-arguments involves citing two seasons out of 6; one where we didn't win anything at all and one where he was injured for half the season. That's your...

Mate, the first time Dembele actually had an impact on this team and contributed to a significant title was last season. His 6th and last season, and he was injured for half the season. His best season with us and we still confidently won the league pretty much without him. It doesn't matter if...
