Compare Dembele to Vinicius for example. Vinicius matches Dembele in terms of 1 vs 1 ability, and adds clutch goals and assist in the biggest games vs the best sides on the planet. For Dembele to be better than Vinicius, he needs to start banging them in in CL semis and such. Slim chance of that happening.
I think Dembele is better in 1 on 1. Better as a chance creator too. But Vini is simply much better as a goalscorer, better in decisive moments which is pretty much the most important thing.

Vinicius - Dembele is exactly the difference between Elite player Vs good player

Elite player, he need a good team arround him but his The x factor that will change the match by scoring or giving a crucial assist during a clutch match

Good player - He's above the norm and will stand out often in "normal" matches but in clutch matches almost never is the X factor, cannot elevate his level and will not score or assist. He need another true elite player to do the job for him

Dembele might be a better dribbler than Vinicius, but doesnt matter when his dribbling leads to fuck all.

Dembele does well when you give him the task of a creator/dribbler (classic winger) like Xavi before or Lucho now. He can create chances frequently and can carry the ball (rank second in both chance create and ball carry distance in Europe).

Doesn't change he is a bum though :mou:

Going to be more generous and say he looks amazing while dribbling. Holds the ball pretty close to him. Times his accelerations well.

Passing were very hit and miss.
His ball handling is still not really good but the speed with the ball is lightning fast. Probably fastest since Messi in his 20s.
