11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

[El Guaje]

No other 20 year old in the world can do what he does.

Some of his skills and passes are simple out of this world.

Best young player in the world and it isn't even close.

Apart from Mbappe.

Why bring him off? Don't understand it. Take off Alcacer (that first sub I mean) and go 433 false nine. If they're pressing, you want pace to run in behind.

Probably because he has had a season of hamstring issues and starting third game in little over a week.

Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta (Paulinho as sub)

Dembele (Tracking back) , Messi & Suarez

I think that's the best there is.

I guess. And obviously we don't want to overdo it. But I still think it was a mistake tactically. Didn't like any of those subs tbf.

Messi, Coutinho, Paulinho, Paco none of them had played those minutes in past week.

Normally would agree tht would like to see him kept on to catch them on break but really Barca were not trying to play much like that in second half.

Valverde too afraid to play 4-3-3

 

[Neymessi]

His ball control is godly for a player so young. Exceptional talent, 100m very well invested.

 

[Ousmane Dembélé]

Laughing stock of Europe, no better than Deulofeu

This post has aged badly. Quoting for exposure.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Not th3 best game today, but happy to see him play weekly.

 

[Barcaman]

Think he did good. Didn't lose the ball that much and remember him only few times failing to mark his man.

 

[BarcaMessi]

Barca's only legitimate winger besides the rushing full backs being played in the wrong position.

 

[RMU ReBorn]

Yeah, but Neymar is also 6 years older.

I didn't complete my sentence . Neymar is better in showboating . I don't think Neymar was better in any other aspect at Dembele's age

 

[BarcaMessi]

Neymar the better diver until VAR kicks in which will make him quite less effective.

Neymar and his entourage is also the better locker room/organizational poison/infection.

Is he still suing Barca for his loyalty bonuses now that the PSG honeymoon is over?

I'm not convinced by Dembele' so far.
Maybe not the typical Barca player with great ball controll and great ability to pass and to score (differently to Coutinho).

He's very young and we can wait him...
but he has to improve soon and quickly.

He is clearly very talented. He doesn't have to conform to what you picture Barca player must be.
