[mawspurs]

Diego Costa’s decision to cast his bib to the wind in an act of petulance at White Hart Lane was the major talking point in an underwhelming 0-0 draw between Tottenham and Chelsea on Sunday.

Pretty fair assessment of what Dembele brings to the table. At long last he seems to be fully fit although he did fade quite a bit in the second half v Chelsea after getting a knock. Hope it's nothing serious and that he can carry on the great work he's putting in so far this season. Can't think of another player who's as strong as him on the ball.

'Of the 209 players to attempt 30 or more dribbles this season, Dembele has the best success rate (86.8%) in Europe’s top five leagues. '

Unsurprising but still remarkable and proof of his now critical role in the side. Top, top footballer.

Better than Messi! now how much does Daniel want for him?

Poch and staff have got him looking very fit, lost the timber but not his strength on the ball. He's looking great this season, and a real asset to the team.

I really wish to see this quality of Dembele being used in the final 3rd more often. We could really use it to penetrate defenses.

Its hard to tell if it is better for the team to have him sit deeper in midfield or play as an attacking midfielder.

In my opinion there's no question he's better used further forward.

looks like he's playing as an AMC which i think he is better suited to because he doesnt have the defensive shackles on him despite still putting himself about.

Always had the potential to be immense - what I like now is that he feels like the senior citizen in the team - and seems to strive to set an example - would make a better captain than Kane IMO.

I heard Mason may miss a game or two so we will need him fit and firing.
