Ousmane Dembélé
- Thread starter Devils
- Start date
He was genuinely awful, one of the worst forwards in the clubs history. It's funny watching people forget about that train wreck performance after his goal. Definitely not how they would treat Suarez.
Completely his fault Koeman trying to turn him into CR7.

Shame we're missing on world class winger performances he used to deliver week in week out before the recent change.

Unpopular opinion, but I like him more as a 9 than as a winger against teams that press high, even if he needs to improve his finishing.
For me, I feel he gets to use his pace and his two footness more effectively as a 9 than when he is at the wings.

This guy HAS to be the WORST winger we signed scoring wise.
La Liga :
17/18 : 3 goals ( 17 games )
18/19 : 8 goals ( 29 games )
18/20 : 1 goal ( 5 games , injured all the time )
20/21 : 4 goals ( 22 games so far )
If we want to keep him , we desperatelly need a ST who can score goals all the time .
Dembele - Haaland - Messi
The world isn't ready for something like this smh.
No team would ever play a high line vs us like Bayern did.
We would have a +230 goal/season
Fati - Haaland - Messi would have been great aswell but we don't know if Fati didn't fuck up his legs for good or how his recovery after the surgery will be , or if he's ever going to be as good or fulfill his potential , etc.
HOPE.

And wasting all those precious minutes that could have gone to Trincao.

That is true. It was an unfortunate timing for Trincao as he started gaining confidence and performing.
His pace and unpredictability is consistently unsettling the opposition defences since moving to the middle. Our chance creation is great. Dembele himself is creating chances purely down to his pace. And I must say for all the Dumbele talk, he is very good at playing the offside line.
I think even if he isn't the solution then he is showing the route to the solution.
Think Davids and Luis Garcia in 04.
His transfer fee was absurd and if we try to judge him outside of it, I like what he is bringing. Even if he is at times frustrating.
I do get it though, his stats for a forward are terrible. Those are Jason Roberts kind of numbers (who remembers him? Could play like a man possessed on his day but never score).

No idea what unpredictability with Dembele means. Is it his playmaking? No, he can't place a through ball or lob to save his life. Is it the dribbling? No, his 1 on 1s are terrible. Can't dribble in tight spaces. When he has space to run into though, yeah that's where he's devastating. Thing is it usually leads to him shooting to row Z or misplacing a pass.
Dembele's actually quite predictable.

He can constantly break the offside line and receive a through ball to be 1v1 with the keeper. He is better than most at this. But he can't score most of the times.
