I'm truly amazed at those positive feedbacks. But i think i see a pattern here, one that is similar to jokes about dead people. One can mock a man who died ages ago without any moral conflictions, but cannot make a joke about a person who died yesterday, it would feel "too soon".
likewise, the same pattern can be juxtaposed to football. Fans feel this moral confliction when it comes to evaluating new players, i have seen it right in this forum with gomes and stegen and many other players. Not after a considerable amount of time people finally felt comoprtable with objectively evaluating a player.
Now i am not saying he should peform immediately, even though Coutinho who joined 6 mounths later already outperform Dembélé by a distance. I am not omitting the age factor and the socio-psychological aspect of the game and its impact on the performance. I have only one big problem, how can someone sit on a sofa for 90 minutes watching the match today, and say the guy had a good performance ? i don't need answers because that was a rhetorical question.
