Ousmane Dembélé

[jamrock]

Not sure why you are bringing up Neymar and Mbappe when I never said they were great at PSG.

Your argument rests on a massive what IF, that likely will not come to fruition i.e, Dembele LEADING PSG to CL glory.

Bro i literally wasn't talking to you just now.

Top 2? Are you just basing this on the hype around them? How many times have you watched them in Ligue 1?

Nobody was talking about them until recent weeks. This is knee-jerk as fuck lol.

ATM they are on fire, could be different in a few weeks but they are playing the strongest football with us, they destroyed Rennes 10-0, outplayed Liverpool and getting the wins in ligue with ease.

I would say because I watched the game

I know Mendes, Pacho, Kvaratskhelia have all blocked shots that would be going straight in the goal. That Quansah hit the post, Diaz and Darwin wasted a large number of counter attacking opportunities etc etc

They're not invincible and given their history in this competition I think people might be too early with the trophy expectations.

It's just people shooting their bolt too early and swallowing the hype currently surrounding them and Dembele in the media.

Football fans are VERY susceptible to the here and now, and what happens in the media.

They just eliminated Liverpool so they're the best thing since sliced bread. When they go out they'll be the worst team ever and Lucho will be the worst manager ever to exist and a bottler.

That's football fans for you. No balance or rational thoughts.

This version of PSG in good from back to front.

No line of there team as an obvious weakness.
Goalkeeper 8/10
Defense 7/10
Midfield 8/10
Attack 7/10.

and dembele as obviously been there best player this season.

Their only issue is not facing top competition on a weekly basis and the lack of a real striker may comeback to haunt them.

Donnarumma 8/10, lol sure

Also I find it funny how often you moan about our defensive fraility but say PSG has no obvious weaknesses

So, I still decided to quote you.

You have clearly swallowed their media hype hook, line and sinker. When they are eliminated you will look like a clown.

Yeah agree, with a real striker they would be even better but Dembele as 9 has been topclass so far and Barcola/Kwara on wings work amazing. They had over 4xG vs Liverpool in Paris and yesterday over 2xG so more than Liverpool at Anfield lol - i think they are ready for the big teams, they can in ligue 1 games and go all in for cl

If you don't rate donna that's on you.

I moan about flick not being situationally aware and pushing the line high late in games when the game is won.

Get it right, if you trying to come at me bro.

You're doing that thing you do sometimes again, just talking for the sake of talking.

Exactly. It's like some of you never learn and started following football 5 mins ago.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

The only 2 teams which can beat them are us and Real madrid

They would destroy current Bayern

Team gets knocked out in K.O football.

Stunning revelation

 

[Maradona37]

Only going by form and hype.

In reality, if they and Bayern actually played it would be a tight game between two good teams.

People probably though Bayern would struggle against Leverkusen, but they pumped them.

People thought Man U would get hammered by Arsenal, but they did not. People thought City would beat Forest, but they didn't.

Saying PSG would destroy Bayern is something that likely wouldn't happen in reality, especially deep into the CL knockouts.

Stunning indeed. Not as stunning as your hypothetical that the mighty Dembele will lead them to CL glory, though.

Know your place.

It's not being discussed because we are predicting them as CL winners, obviously they are statistical underdogs as any top team is at this point given there are 4 or 5 great teams still in the competition.

Being brought up mainly because of the irony that a Dembele 'led' PSG is delivering them their best look in Europe rather than Neymar and Mbappe ; the thought that Dembele would better Neymar or Mbappe's legacy at PSG almost instantly after he joined is amusing to people. Especially given the effort put into building the prior squads.

Nothing that serious in it as not likely to happen anyway but they are one of the top contenders for it clearly, as Barca or Madrid or Inter are.

 

[Maradona37]

Even if they win it (big if, but possible) it won't be because Dembele 'leads them'.

it's a team effort. He's probably their best player, but he isn't leading them or dragging them. Unless you are using that word for hyperbolic reasons.

Saying he's 'leading then' is a non-starter and failure to understand what sort of team they are and them tactically.
