He was bad in the last season, but he is reaching new levels of being bad now.
One new thing is his stupid first touch passes.
In the past, he used to stop the ball and do something with it from time to time.
Since Valverde came (I don't know whether he instructed him), he tries stupid first toruch passes in every single occasion.
And when Messi is at CM, Dembele wide at LW, his first touch passes are usually going nowhere.
Add to this that his first touch is horrible in general.
On top of all, he is forced to play at a Lw.
He and Rakitic are dead weight.
Yes.
Two worst players in our team.
None of them offers almost absolutely nothing in terms of forward passes lately.
Suarez loses every ball, Rakitic plays it back to Mats or defenders.
