I agree Dembele should definitely fix his problem with running towards the ball, definitely an issue. Weird because his off the ball movement when making runs for through balls is fantastic, I'd expect that kind of instinct to translate into other areas; he is not very press resistant.
But at the same time Gomes' pass was horrid. Not good at keeping possession, not very creative, and not press resistant either. A "b" barcelona midfielder but he's not good enough. Barcelona should really invest more. They've been losing a lot of midfield battles this season.
