haha great bump. I had never seen this thread and was reading it as if it was new. Let's just say I was getting even more frustrated than usual with the ignorant, misguided, and just plain silly opinions of many that actually think they know something. Much crow being digested today I bet. That is by those big enough to reconsider their previous opinions. By that I mean those intelligent enough to take on new evidence and adjust appropriately.
He is still frustrating and lacks consistency but I'd have him in my team. When trying to explain his deficiencies @DaSpurs hit it on the head with his "horses for courses" argument. Dembele is most effective against teams that play and open up. A corollary to this is, like lamella, with more intelligent and faster forward players giving more options he may not hold on to the ball. When playing bus-parking teams maybe Poch needs to look elsewhere.
