Wish the crowd would stop groaning. I mean, yeah, sure, he needs to do better, but that won't help. If you want to slag him off at least have the decency to do it behind his back on social media. ;)
 
the bigger problem is Barca's aerial attack or lack of. Only Suarez can chip in with a half decent header once in a while. Mina/Pique would have to leave the back exposed to help out with the aerial attacks.

The cross at 0:30. Why is there noone in the box left of the penalty spot making the runs?


Well he was pretty bad today. But I can see a few up sides:

-He is probably the best corner taker in our side.
-He pushed the defence back when he played.
-He is far more positionaly aware than Coutinho.
-He is trying to make things happen.

But also the downsides:
-He needs to release the ball quicker.
-He needs to utilize his teammates more.
-He must not succumb to Albaitis (pass only to Messi).
-Don't dribble every time you get the ball.
-Don't go looking for a foul.
-Shoot sometimes.

I’m being honest when I say I would have preferred Deulofeu. We are yet to see Dembele, but I’m still astounded with the money spent on him. And Dembele seems a lot like Deulofeu IMO. Both needs space to run at. Even their playing styles seems almost similar. One of the reasons why I prefer Deulofeu is his work rate and his time with Barça.

I’m not bashing Dembele or anything. But all I want to say is that this patience we are showing with Dembele should have been showed with Deulofeu too. EV sort of did, the fans never seemed to have liked him.

Don't know why people just wont consider the possibility that we might have gotten duped. Dembele was a panic buy after Neymar stabbed us in the back and he is nowhere close to what Neymar was when he arrived here.
Lol

I actually like Neymar but it seems people have short memories. Neymar arrived a year older and he was decidedly mediocre in his first season and got to play a whole lot more.

Give the kid a break.

LMAO @ the reactions itt.

Patience is a virtue that is seemingly among the minority these days.

Imagine being a foaming mouth keyboard warrior raging over player who hasn't even had the opportunity to play 3 straight games for us yet.

Valverde:

"Dembele came on at a moment when we thought he could help us out by running at players in one-on-one situations"

"Maybe you could tell that he's not played a lot of football recently, though, because it didn't go quite as well as he would have liked against a strong opponent.

"He had to try and use his strengths, which is when he's up against players and driving at them. He didn't have much luck with that today, but it's better that he tried those things than to not try anything."
