I'm not sure you can really blame him for their first goal

Better holdup play than Auba but Auba tends to find spaces in the box easily, still a good player to have.

Seems to be back to his dribbling form but his final delivery has been bad. He's also trying to shoot more today, maybe he reads the messages on this forum.

Same old same old, he creates chances when he's with the ball, bad pressing without the ball, and looses the ball easily nowadays. If he continues like this, it'll be hard for a top European club to offer him a salary of even 15m after his present contract expires

Raphinha might just be it or he could also struggle here, but I understand that fans are tired of Dembele and want something new. The fact that we recently had players of Messi and Neymar quality on the wings makes it hard to be okay with anything less, we'll see how the summer goes though.

Would even get more offers from more clubs if he waits till Summer before making a decision

We'll be fine without him, we were before he came back from injury this season and that's when Gavi shone, cant really blame anyone for this as Pedri was rested midweek but this shows the importance of quality squad depth (anyone can get injured)

Nah, You're mistaken. Dembele wasn't playing like this before (that's always trying to deliver crosses), just go and watch some of his previous games in other seasons again like against Tottenham, Sevilla, Villareal and you'll see it. He knows how to combine with the rw (did it many times with...

Even the best players sometimes have misses like that, and that's when we need other quality forwards to step. I still feel like he's the best striker in the team currently so we need to get other quality strikers this summer.

If you watched this game clearly, you'll see that he always had 3 to 4 guys around him and mingueza with Pedri were bad for making combination plays to get in the box, hence why we saw dembele trying to dribble 3 of their players when trying to cut in (and pedri doesn't make himself as available...

Please, Depay is better and makes better decisions than this lad

I thought he had lost his dribbling due to his recent games but seems to still have it, a pity we lost today

yeah, but subbing him out for Adama was a bad move to me, should've either left him on or Subbed in Depay

What pissed me off was when Dest was subbed in and Dembele was switched to lw, cause I know he and Dest would've had some nice combination at the right.

Having to take Dembele to lw to accommodate Adama in this game at rw messed things up as Dest was now ineffective going forward and all Adama was concerned about was running and crossing without looking. Dest first touch when he came on was passing to Adama and running into free space, and...

Xavi would've left Dembele in the rw, he creates clearer chances and would've combined well with Dest

Subbing Traore in for Auba was the worst decision Xavi made, he's always heads down and only thinks of dribbling

That would be a miracle

What did I just watch!!!

You'd have to agree that people are built differently and some have better stamina or energy than others, Modric like Alves is a different breed (they've got bags of energy in them even at old age), the same can't be said for Messi
