The fact that teams are scared of his pace and double up on him is probably doing more good than his ability on ball just now.

Far too sloppy. Feels like the time of player that would excel as main man in a tier 2 top side with team built for him but maybe not as great team player with someone else the star.

If he is stalling on contract to survey options just sell him and get players that want to stay. Not done enough at this point to be desperate for him to stay at all odds.

I agree.
He should be thankful for his position in club.

I would not mind selling him and buying someone other.

But I can't remember anyone that is suitable with this situation with pandemia, lack of cash etc.

Maybe Anthony from Ajax?

But again he is not player that can bring impact right now , what club needs.

Someone more mature would be better.

There aren't any high quality wingers available in the market rn, the lack of talent in Europe is insane rn. Feels like all the WC wingers are in their late 20s and early 30s. No upcoming super talented winger in the tier of Hazard, Robben, Ribery or Neymar. :((

It's really surprising how effectively he pulls off that fake shot feint. :lol: Sometimes I say, nah, they'll read him and strip him off the ball, but almost always works.

Doesn't matter if they read him or not, most of them are too slow to do anything about it.

Almost all the time? It feels like its success rate looks pretty low for this season. The video makes Dembele look pretty effective with it, but it's a video that uses over 5 years of footage in 10 mins. There have been a lot of occasions this season where he overhits the fake shots into a defender's feet and loses the ball far too easily...

Captain Dembele does it again. Gets subbed it in and Barca score twice instantly.

Can't discount how much attention he draws defensively on the pitch, it allows others to be freed up too. Ridiculous booking but this is all too familiar in Spain

Didn't notice this very much. When he gets the ball he often draws players towards him as he often keeps the ball for long enough for them to arrive, but his decision making is so poor that I don't think the team very often can capitalize on this. When he manages to beat his press some space appears, but he is hard to read even for his team mates, so the run is seldom synchronised. Not to mention that his success rate for the dribbles is pretty low, often his dribbles lead to Barcelona being countered.
But maybe you mean opponents man mark him without the ball?

He is the kind of player who should be asked to play just as Henry was told by Pep - just hug the sideline until the ball arrives. That way he can bring width on the widthless right hand side, and have the space he needs for his 1v1.

Dembouz is the best ball conductor this season in La Liga.

Imagine having wingers/wingplay as your favorite position in the game, loving tricky and technical players, falling in love with Barcelona because of Ronaldinho and Neymar, and having to watch this for the past 4 years with no end in sight. He's such a contrast to the expectations people have of "Barcelona standard" wingers...no awareness at all. Can some magician please come out of nowhere and sign a contract for Barcelona, pretty please? I miss Neymar...
