What trolling. What 5-6 trolls. Stop spouting bullshit.

He is raw as fuck and looked lost a lot of time when asking to get in shape to defend.
Lots of effort to get up and down park though and some decent moments outwith the goal.
I cannot ignore the price tag on him, so I'm far from impressed, but he was crucial today. Scored a goal and probably saved one. Good confidence booster for him and I hope he'll keep improving.
One sliding tackle doesnt mean he did well defending. Pretty sure Valverde saw that this won't do.
Can he learn to be more tactically aware? We'll see.
I have said it on a chat.
I hope that someone will make a Gif or something.
Dembele left his player alone two times.
He was near the player around the box, then Dembele looks at the action on the other side of our box and forgets his player.
Then his player gets the ball alone in our box with Dembele 2 meters behind him even though Dembele was marking a player only 5 seconds, before he "fell asleep" and watched the action at the other side of a box.
In one of those actions, he made a tackle.
But he created both chances for Chelsea.
An analogy would be:
MATS dribbling a player in our box and losing a ball.
An opponent hesitates and attempts a shot.
MATS saves the shot in the end.
Ok, a nice save, but he shouldn't have dribbled and allowed a chance in the first place.
So, he didn't "save" it.
He created/ruined it and THEN saved it.
No one said one tackle is enough, but it's a crucial one and he is not known to defend well. Kid is still learning and improving, that goal is already a huge milestone and achievement. People say he cant do much, he assisted. People say he will struggle to score, yet scored against Chelsea in just few games. If he scored against Malaga, people will say it's 20th place Malaga. Come on, nothing is perfect and there's still a huge room for improvement. You are always not impressed in whatever he does.
Who made you a captain of positive brigade? You were hoping Barca crashes out and Valverde gets sacked just few months ago.
If he continues his negative tactics which luckily he didnt tonight. Weren't you also were very positive about everything, but when it comes to this kid, you are somehow a different person with a different tone.
