Ousmane Dembélé

[Bobo32]

He has explained it after the Sevilla game:
He is the fastest one we have, so he plays him up top to push the last line of the opposition so as to stretch the pitch vertically.
Messi can't do that. Griezy can't do that.
The only other player who is remotely able to do that is Braithwaite

I think Koemans tactical explanations are often strangely simplistic, things you would hear from a lower league manager. I don't like them and think they are outright wrong a lot of the time.
Messi and Griezmann wants the ball on their feet alot, but they are of course fast enough to stretch the defence if they want, anyone CAN do that. Griezmann SHOULD do it more and do less of the jogging back to the midfield, Messi is right in wanting it on his feet.

I think Dembele is a very dumb player that needs a very simple task to focus on from where he can sometimes improvise. Maybe this is the reasoning, that Koeman of course can't say publically...
I always thought Dembele should just hug the line, but so far he is doing ok centrally, as there often is someone close to him that can cover his mistakes, and he is (a bit strangely) better in a small space than a large space, as he is so sloppy but at the same time both good technically and very awkward. His best position is still the bench I think.

He rarely gets caught offside and is really smart with his runs for someone who gets called dumb all the time.

Yeah, commented before how he really gets trapped offside. Don't want to compare him to Suarez but...

 

[CatalinR10]

he can still fuck off for being trash against PSG and costing us the trebble vs Liverpool.



sorry dawgs , I did my best to contain my anger towards him but his pricetag and lack of iq and finishing makes him a mediocre player that we shouldn't have bought in the first place.

His off the ball movement has become surprisingly great.

Sport says Barca wants to renew his contract until 2025 before Euros. If we won't reach a deal in next two months he'll be put on the market.


We should sell him imo. Or just swap him for

Good luck needing to score one or two more goals and having one of the worst finishers ever in your team.

Vinicius is miles ahead of Dembouz.And i don t particularly like Vinicius either.

 

[ronniecro]

dude gonna get extension based on couple of months being actually able to play,incredible. now we wait for media campaign about how he changed his attitude and what not

 

[Laplacian]

Lmao 5 league goals and it's April, dude should be kicked off this club.

At least Vin?cius knows how to dribble.

 

[te amo barca]

Do you guys think Dembele has been better than Alexis overall at the club? Without taking their transfer fees into account, who's performed better?

 

[Laplacian]

It's fucking insulting to compare Sanchez and Demb?l? in that manner. Sanchez had a far better understanding of the game than Demb?l? currently has, his overall ability in the ball was far higher than Demb?les; from passing in tight spaces and dribbling. Not to mention his end product reached peaks Demb?l? would dream of.

A "shit Alexis season" was 9 league goals a season, with like 5 assists. The season before he got dumped for Neymar, he scored 20 goals and had 11 assists in the league alone.

Completely different levels between the two.

Demb?l? should be compared to the Tellos of Barcelona, not Sanchez.

 

[Tackle]

Prime Alexis would be far and away our 2nd best attacker today. Wasn't a world beater by any stretch of the imagination, but is usually underrated as he played for us during a relative down period between two dominant CL winning sides.
