I think Poch has simplified his play, he is now beating his man and giving it quickly to the nearest runner.
Ex-Player Watch Player Watch: Mousa Dembele

Great to see Dembele playing like the player we thought we had signed and had run Utd ragged for Fulham a few seasons back. he looks fitter, driven and is now effecting games positively.
If he could look to get 10 goals this season having already bettered his season return that would be great to add with the likes of Chadli, Eriksen and an improving Lamela to keep getting goals.

I get the sense that Dembele's had some kind of epiphany recently that he was in danger of letting his footballing career pass him by without having made the most of his talent and he's determined to put that right. And he could still be a top class player for us for four or five years yet.
Hopefully Chadli will come to a similar realization soon as well, as there's a beast of a player in there somewhere.

In my opinion a great read, he is becoming unstoppable.

Great analogy. When he turns it on he's probably one of the best midfielders around, his ability to run with the ball under pressure is pretty much second to none, he's also a great out ball, he can receive the ball under pressure and breeze past players. I'm not sure if it's his fitness improving or a natural maturity but he's really come on. Head and shoulders above any other options in his current form.

When he's making the right choices, absolutely. When he makes the wrong choices he's the type of football player that will make you lose all your hair very quickly
As H&W said I think Poch has got him to simplify his game a little more which seems to make the picture clearer for him and frees his mind up

At his best he is probably only behind toure as the best all round midfield player in the prem. The only player who can beat a man as easily is hazard. He literally walks past any player at will.
He seems to have lost weight and as a result is a yard or 2 quicker. I've seen him make up the ground on people so often in the last few weeks.
It's actually fantastic that at the moment we have players that are the in form players in their position. Dier, Kane(Vardy of course should be congratulated but is not half the player) lamela, dembele, eriksen, verts, Toby, Walker, alli. Who would you pick on current form over any of those players?
Pochetino is a fantastic manager.

Said it before, our best player. No coincidence his peers all say the same
He's the best all around player in our squad which is very high praise. For me, he's one of the best CM's in the prem when 100% fit.

Firstly, he's always been physically strong and imposing but now that he's done some weight he's faster and more aggressive. I love the way he decides to actually get the ball from opponents rather than just run around after them waiting for them to lose it, and this now seems to be our 'go to' modus operandi across the whole team, which is why the pressing game is now starting to work for us.
Secondly, once he's got the ball, and because he's so physically imposing, he rarely loses it, which is another thing we've improved on immensely under Pochettino and was something which always used to drive me bonkers under previous coaches and regimes.
There's no doubting that we are just not the same as a cohesive unit without him.
All we need now, is goals.

I must say I'm one of Moussa's biggest fans and never thought anyone could out muscle him ,but wanyama did it on a few occasions yesterday.I see he's being linked again with us in the press with Townsend as part of the deal, wouldn't be upset if this came off.
