1) The medical staff is not infallable. There have been plenty of examples of them making misjudgementes. Every elite club has rushed players back too soon. Mostly at the insistence of the manager or player. The medical field is not an exact science for a reason too.
2) Does not matter if he only played 5 minutes (in theory) when clearly not fully ready hence re-injuring himself.
3) Exactly what I wrote and what I criticized Dembélé for. Must have missed that part of my post.
4) That is not a fact but your personal opinion. Malcom could have added much of the same. Runs, pace, threat from the outside.
5) They smelled blood because we started (for no reason) to sit back and defend while being too nonchalant and not scoring on our chances. Not because we did not have energy left. We played without using much energy for most parts of the first half especially as we scored those 2 goals rather quickly. Hence going all out blazing for the reminder of the game.
6) While Malcom was rusty it did not prevent him from scoring in the past, hence my Inter example. Dembélé was not fully ready either.
What are you blabbering about? "Most blame on Valverde" by equally blaming the medical staff and Dembélé himself? Is that your version of blaming
everything on Valverde as claimed initially?
Valverde (the manager) having the final say at the end of the day on whether to use a player or not is also a factual statement. So once again, trying to absorb Valverde from all the blame makes zero sense.
BTW if it appears that I am overly critical it is because Dembélé is arguably our second most important offensive player and one of my favorite players so obviously I am a bit pissed off that he was risked and suffered a relapse that will take him out for 3-4 weeks in a crucial part of the season. A far cry of your caricature of "blaming Valverde for everything".
You are like a one-liner machine put on repeat.
