Why is Dembele being frozen out?

[Mullers]

Yeah my name isn't Dan either, it's just a username lol

But I get why you're always angry at me now

LOL I'm not always angry at you, it's more like the other way around! I lost count of the amount of times you've lost your temper with me.

 

[Mullers]

Go on Mullers. You can say it.

Dembele was very good today.

No he wasn't very good, he was brilliant today but I still want that consistency to last for the rest of the season.

 

[talkshowhost86]

he was brilliant today

Hooray!

 

[Shadydan]

Even Oscar the Grouch had off days sometimes.

 

[Mullers]

Hooray!

I always give praise to players who deserve it but I give criticism to players who deserve it too. I mean it's not as if he hasn't deserved it.

 

[Mullers]

Even Oscar the Grouch had off days sometimes.

Especially when a team draws when they should win.

 

[Hoops]

Just watching a re run of the city game. Dembele is just taking the piss out of Toure. Fantastic player

This thread title throws a new light on the current Bentaleb situation...

 

[mattdefoe]

dembele was brilliant, he just needs to sharpen up his distribution.

Hopefully Bentaleb gets a chance in the wafa cup. We need to rotate. It will be ideal for him and Mason to show what they can do.

What it shows is that the squad is always picked on merit of performance. Either Dembele has been too good for Bentaleb to get a sniff or Bentaleb hasn't been impressing in training and when he's played.

Or he has to do a Wimmer.

Wait for an injury?

Dembele has been the best CM in the league this season for my money, won't get many plaudits though from the so called experts as he doesn't score enough goals.

Phenomenal turn around really, there were times when he looked completely finished as a Spurs player. Fair play to him and Poch

 

[tototoner]

Told my mates 3 months ago that Dembele was currently the best CM in the league, they all laughed. Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle fans

I was about to say 'steady on' but there aren't many better than him this season.

I think Kante at Leicester has probably just got the nod on him at the moment, but other than that who has actually been better consistently?

 

[nidge]

He has been excellent this season and I for one am delighted to be wrong in thinking he didn't have a future with us.

That said I still think he needs to release the ball quicker at times but that's a minor issue imo.

Yep agree with you there. Him and Kante have been head and shoulders above anyone else

Yep. I was thinking his hip issue would be the reason but didn;t think he'd be here much longer, never mind be killing it

Bentaleb missed most of pre-Christmas with injury, and only back in the last month.

With Dembele performing well, Carroll too, and Dier an almost permanent fixture in the CM2, its been hard for Bentaleb and Mason to do much more than get on the bench.
