Problem with him at LW was pretty evident yesterday
with the LB advanced taking over the flank, Dembele receives in the left half-space, let alone that this happened many times closer to the halfway line than the opposition's box
which is a terrible position to receive for his skills and qualities.
It's a position you would want someone like Pedri to receive and not Dembele.
Many of his giveaways yesterday were because of that -> he feels lost in the md especially vs such a top opponent like Bayern
Xavi has to work this shit out.
Either he receives as wide as possible on the flank (right or left) AND as advanced and closer to the box as possible
OR his qualities go wasted
I really don't want to shit on dembouz. He is improving and looks motivated..
But by this:"
which is a terrible position to receive for his skills and qualities", you really meant:
"Which is a terrible position to receive for his lack of skill and missing qualities".
Don't take this the wrong way, but be pragmatic. He is clumsy on the ball. He has no close control. He is too causal with passes. And he is fast as hell and occasionally passes through defenders as they aren't there. I am just being honest.
All that said, he is our most dangerous and creative player currently.
