11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

[CatalinR10]

won't even bother making a judgement based on these games . Dude needs to start a lot of games to start having confidence but valverde plays him some 15 mins here ...15 there. What's the point of wasting 100 mil on him if u're just going to keep him on bench.

It's normal for players his age to have outbursts like that. He's young and nobody in the team is more desperate than him. What isn't normal though is buying a 100+ million player with such a huge amount of potential, just to use him as a sub to win time and finish off games. The way Valverde is using him and the slap in the face away against Roma is obviously affecting him. He wanna prove himself.

Man, some of the opinions here change like the weather.

Stupid challenge, but that's part of the game, especially with young players. Plus he hasn't got a lot of confidence and wants badly to prove a point to Valverde.

 

[BarçaBarça]

I have actually almost never seen a penalty be given like that?? A bit strange in my mind, but he clearly needs more minutes to not be so keen to do everything at once - He needs a start against Celta and play 90 minutes!!

Some opinions don't need to change.

Shouldn't make judgments based on limited sample.

I said that yesterday. Dembele needs cca 15 minutes to get into the game and during that time he makes some silly mistakes. The pen was one of them today. I dunno what is the point of subbing him in for peanut minutes, since he most likely won't make an impact in that time.

Well said.

You ruin his confidence that way.

To me it was a clear foul, Ousmane made a horrible diving tackle.

ITT people can't detect sarcasm.

Valverde is killing this man's confidence and progress.

 

[Afromaticz]

Bad tackle from ousmane he’s obviously not a defender but at least he tried there...next time it might save us from a goal.

 

[Altomonte]

why referee gave a penalty for a tackle that did hardly impede the cross is difficult to understand. Yes, he missed the ball and it was inside the box but ...
EV should play Dembélé from the start.
Good to see Coutinho fully integrated.
Messi was very sloppy / nonchalant in first half but played well in second. Iniesta showed his class.

 

[UEFA_Barça_Chris]

Dembele has a good game: wow great player, very talented, still raw, Valverde needs to start him more
Dembele makes one mistake in his 10min cameo: wow, shit player, lowest IQ, biggest flop, sell him quick.

To be fair though this isn’t the only example where dembele has made dumb decisions. The background of his first injury here says a lot.

 

[Devils]

I was happy to see him make that tackle.

Maybe if we had players putting in effort and actually trying to fight the opposition against Roma, things could have gone differently.

I'll take players tracking back and making slide tackles like that, even if they make errors, to the walking sulking attitude I saw in Rome.

 

[clemente]

Its just such a dumbass tackle tho, it wasn't necessary, its just so stupid

 

[PhilS]

Dembele has been disastrous on defense recently, he is clearly the worst defender who plays RW for this team. Given that S. Roberto as RB always needs help, this is a real problem.

Messi was much better on defense today.
