Ousmane Dembélé

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Yeah injured again so the sky is blue

 

[Birdy]

And i cant believe people still have faith in him, sure, he might do something decent whenever he`actually available to play, but you know its just a matter of time before he breaks down again.
Just like Hazard for us, he simply cant stay fit.

Hazard is 29 and played already tons of games for Chelsea.
Dembele does not have accumulated wear on his legs like Hazard.

On the contrary his case reminds me of Arien Robben early in his career before he moved to Bayern (Chelsea + Real): injured every now and then and being called 'made of glass' as well. But he fixed it (idk how. Doctors? specific diet + training?) and had very solid injury-free span at Bayern for the most part of his carreer.

Dembele should follow down that route. He stayed already 4 months (since August) without injury just because Koeman has started physically-training the team properly.
He should do more (and follow specialists) to counter the inner propensity of his body to break.

 

[Laplacian]

Yeah he might follow Robben's route, or he might follow Reus', Wilshere's, Loftus-Cheek, and so many other players whose careers have been insanely derailed due to constant injuries.

I do not like the comparison with Arjen as Arjen is a very disciplined player that fully lived a professional life - somehow like Lewandowski does it.

Maybe I do im wrong with this - but the rumours around Dembele tell the opposite.

Robben was a generational talent though. At his best, the fourth or maybe third best attacker of the last 10 years after Messi, CR7, Neyney

yeah prime Robben was terrific

No you are right on this.
Never implied they are alike in all respects.
I wanted to single out a top player that had a beginning in his career similar-ish to Dembouz in terms of injuries

 

[malvolio]

so this concludes the expected resurgence of the misfits trio Griezmann-Dembele-Coutinho. not even half a season in and all hope that many had for those three to come good is dead in the water.

dembele will miss a couple of weeks, then he'll have to get back in shape again. he'll play a couple of games then get injured again, rinse and repeat.

Shit happens.. Get well dembouz

Next year is his year. At worse the year after

Who talked about Griez and Cou here?
Nice strawman argument to impose your agenda on every thread

Well... it is true, isn't it?! You can't handle the truth, boy?!

Many football professors in here were laying down formations at the start of the season and saying that we have a good squad with plenty of options. Turns out we have the same shit costly signings, a declining Messi and some kids.

 

[BusiTheKing]

What most likely happned is that he actually put in good hamstring rehab work this time around and kept at it in the beginning of his run of games but then started slacking when he thought the problem was gone.

That's the curse of these hamstring issues. If they're vulnerable, all it takes is one sprint where the warm up wasn't quite focused or one game where you haven't worked them adequately during the week.

 

[vegitot]

Will be out about a month.

 

[PhilS]

Dembele and Fati out at the same time, omph. All the remaining forwards play best in the middle of the field, with the exception of poor Trincao, who is completely psyched out in his shooting. More Liga losses coming up.

Trincao should get game after game and chances after chances. After sticking to Messi and Griezmann who bottled every chance they got in the first months they can also give a run of games to young, inexperienced Trincao until he finds his scoring boots. The moment the coach at Braga started him game after the game was the moment he was getting assists and goals.
