You fucking ungrateful......
Classic example of why I don't favour stats.can't compare dembele dribbling around the centre circle and meandering off to the side to that of neymar/messi etc who are doing it in the final third/opponent's box.
Probably my favourite Spurs player. Love watching him on the ball.
Yet still people on here want him dropped, think he slows down our play and criticise the big man. We are lucky to have this guy and he deserves way more respect than some on here give him. This 'he doesn't move the ball forward' thing is some strange rumor that has spread. He doesn't score or assist enough yes. But he is constantly moving the ball on, it's bizarre that people just readily say this when it's so far from the truth.
So many opposition players and his team mates speak so highly of his ability, yet some fans struggle to see this or the impact he has on our team. He excels in the 3-4-3. because him and Wanyama allow our wing backs so much freedom, we struggle in 4-5-1. Because the 3 AM behind the forward don't work as well in that formation as we really lack pace. Nothing to do with Dembele mysteriously not moving the ball forward. The biggest issue has been the inconsistency of our 3 AM whenever we play that formation.

Still getiing faint praise and snide comments. From a fair section of this Forum. There lack of football knowledge is shocking. Poch thinks he is a genius they think he is counter productive and should be replaced. BafflingSo underrated by some of our fans who focus on his weaknesses and fail to appreciate his incredible strengths. Can't think of another midfielder in world football with his skillset.
