11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

[El Guaje]

^ all the above is true lol but if you're a deluded you wouldnt accept these facts

The only fact i can find in your post is that he won the EPL unbeaten. Do you even know what a fact is?

 

[JamDav1982]

Again I can't believe it but I agree with jamdav

Nothing was wrong with msn, it was the Midfield that was flat as hell & the coaches insistance to rotate at the worst possible moment that cost us in the cL & league respectively

I feel worse about it than you do.

Barca have gone out to Atletico twice in CL but have dominated them throughout the past three years with MSN being main reason. Form was bigger factor than not being able to win with MSN who also have dominated Real in that time.

If MSN were a bit off the rest of team couldnt by trusted to support them or step up defensively. That was not on MSN.

 

[serghei]

Technical players didn't help either in the last 18 Months of Lucho's career.

Lucho's 433 and Msn lost 10 points advantage in a spring of 2016 and they lost La Liga to Real in 2017.

I know, people will again reply: it was Lucho's fault. Not a fault of Msn, technical players or 433.

It seems that people forget problems after 6-12 Months.
Reading some posts here, it sounds as if we turned back on our ultrasuccessfull 433 and a technical team for no reason and tried with workhorses=because a coach is dumb.

People forget that we lost in 3 Cl quarters in the last 4 years with technical players.
And how, for example, we didn't manage to pull 3 La liga wins in a row last season (with Msn and more technical team than now) until the round 30-32.
Have you guys forgot how horrible we looked on every away La liga match last season?

You said that a coach shouldn't bench a technical player like Neymar.
I don't know what a coach should do, but playing him and other technical players didn't look good at all for the last 18 Months of Lucho's career.

Technical players didn't help in Lucho's last year because of his dumb tactics. They surely did help in the first two seasons, when we won a treble and a domestic double.

 

[MessiCam]

MSN was the one area of the team that did work.

Luchos teams lacked in midfield and couldnt support them.

That frontline is as good as any club have had and was the main reason Barca won a treble a double then missed out narrowly in league in third season.

EV would kill to have Neymar in his squad.

It’s no use trying to explain this to [MENTION=16942]BBZ8800[/MENTION]. He just doesn’t like technical players and hates wingers.

It also escapes him that the midfield issues were directly related to Messi abandoning his right wing post leaving us with basically a 2 man midfield and contributing to Rakitic’s demise. To top it all off he once told me that a 4-2-3-1 is the way to go... A 2 man midfield we clearly struggled with due to the lopsided 4-3-3.

When Lucho switched to a 3-4-3 Diamond the problem took care of itself.

But [MENTION=16942]BBZ8800[/MENTION] will repeat the same shit over and over.

That said, Valverde is fucking both Coutinho and Dembélé over. Coutinho is neutered on the right side and Dembélé once again finds himself warming the bench for someone not suited to a position he thrives in.

 

[Ousmane Dembélé]

It's clear he's never going to get a shot here with Valverde. He is below the likes of Paulinho, Gomes and Vidal in the pecking order, imagine how little he's going to play when a seasoned La Liga forward like Griezmann joins us next summer.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him demand a transfer at the end of next season.

 

[CatalinR10]

i thought he was going to be subed in after iniesta injury . He was ignored by Valverde who chosed gomes and paulinho. Unbelievable.

 

[clemente]

Should have played instead of Gomes

 

[ASordidGod]

I'd have at least given him the last 15 for Suarez. Game was crying out for pace in behind/someone to carry the ball.

 

[jamrock]

The things a forward thinking manager could do with him, Lord Jesus

 

[raskolnikov]

Valverde is a coward who doesnt rate dembele. He plays the likes of Vidal and Gomes over him.

 

[Behrox]

Maybe if he stopped being Bambi on ice everytime the ball comes close to him, he'd play. He really needs to get his boots checked, slips way too much giving me flashbacks of Alexis

 

[Lelouch vi Britannia]

If Dembele doesn’t start against Chelsea, we are out of the CL.

 

[MagIX]

Valverde is a coward who doesnt rate dembele. He plays the likes of Vidal and Gomes over him.

At the moment EV rating is correct, without Dembele we 1. in la liga, we are in cdr final and we are in good position to be in CL 1/4 final.. not so bad.

I feel he isnt threating semedo, mina and dembele fairly. He needs some confidence and a run of games. Just play him when we can counter to boost his confidence.

 

[Calidad]

Has he even started two games in a row yet?
