11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

The irony is that the system got changed because of his injury.

Well, it was that plus the fact that Denis and Deulofeu were useless as wingers.

Big reason was Suarez struggling on the left side.

Not anymore. Also, it's mostly a 4231 if Dembele plays.

It's unlikely to change this season in the UCL but you can already see them going back to the old system in some La Liga games. I'm interested how we handle it next year because Suarez can't play LW. Or do we play Dembele there and Messi RW? Tbd

But Messi fan still think it is 433?
But I agree it is 4231 but even in that Dembele will need to do more defensive job, same for Coutinho.

Best front line would probably be Dembele-Messi-Griezmann if we’re going with a false 9 formation.

 

[vinni]

I think/hope Suraez will be fine as left forward. I think his bad performance out left was more down to form then position. As long as Alba will provide width, we should be fine with 433

I’m not going to go into the nitty gritty of this... Dembélé can’t play with a double pivot. He is too lazy off the ball. A 2 man midfield will be easily overrun and countered. Doesn’t matter if it’s 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1...

Against Girona.

Here you see Messi as False 9 with Suárez and Dembélé in the half space.

Suárez and Dembélé in the half space, Messi deep with Coutinho in attack.

Again, Messi in the centre with Suárez and Dembélé in the half space. Coutinho making a run from midfield.

Here again. Same thing...

Here Suárez and Dembélé (again in the half space) have switched flanks. Messi in the centre playing in midfield.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Why would you post pictures when we are in possession to show something about Dembele's defensive qualities?

 

[FCBfan22]

There are rumours that Cahill might start tomorrow in Rudiger's place. If that's the case, Dembouz needs to play, because he will tear him a new one.

They will sit deep and not allow Dembele one on one with him if can help it.

If Cahil plays he will rarely leave the box.

To show that when Dembélé plays it a 4-3-3 and not a double pivot.

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

He's our black Giuly.

dembelinho starting tonight

 

[serghei]

Great chance for the kid. Just play well, don't give the ball away too much and don't get injured.
