Dembele

[dynamoSpurs]

If you've seen any of my posts r.e. Moussa recently, you wouldn't be blamed for marking me as one of his harshest critics. However, from his displays since and including Manure, he's improved a great deal.

While I never doubted his footballing (skills etc) ability, I did question his vision in a game including eye for a pass, running with intent and shooting (or lack thereof).

His last 3 displays have been wonderful to watch. Sandro is "The Beast", but I feel sorry for the players that come up against Moussa. I don't think I've ever seen him shrugged off the ball. He literally brushes players aside with a swift drop of the shoulder and then uses his quick turn of pace to leave him for dead.

Absolutely deadly and if he carries on like this, he's gonna be the most integral part of our team and most lethal.

Hopefully I haven't spoken too soon and sorry if this is considered spam! I'm jusut in a good mood and feel like expressing my appreciation .

Romeo done.

Looked injured when he came off, would be a big miss if he's not fit for Sunday. If I remember he had some proper fire in his belly along with vertonghen at the end of last seasons game at anfield and looked like he wanted to kill the goofy prick at the final whistle. Could do with using that aggression on Sunday.

A&C made him write lines for being a negative nancy. He's not quite done

He's moved the ball on a lot quicker in the last few games and it's made a hell of a difference. Wonder if he's worked on it himself or if the coaching staff have been involved

AVB said it was "nothing" and should be fine for Liverpool. However please bare in mind he said the same thing about Sandro before it was confirmed that he would miss half a season.

Liked what I saw in that burst forward for the winner. He's so good at going past players and if he starts doing it in the final third he'll be closer to the goal once he's through. At the moment he does it in central midfield and then it's too far from goal to make something happen quickly.

Moose is back to his best. PLease keep it up moose.
Now if we can get back to the Moose and Beast combination, we'll be fine.

Somehow i read that `Im just in a jumpsuit' so it made me laugh. As for Dembo, i suggest electric shock therapy in training every time he runs sideways instead of forwards but in general i agree, hes an awesome sight going forward when in the mood.

One of the best in our squad and sadly one of the most underrated!
DEMBELE is one of my favorite player!
Yesssss the beast and the moose!!!!

Isn't he managing an injury?

Read some thoughts fom a Fulham fan before we played them and he put most of their issues down to never replacing Dembele properly. I'd say you couldn't.

What I think is odd is few people criticized Modric for his minimal final output yet people are always on Dembele's back about it.

Both player have given immense solidity to our play and their contributions albeit subtley different have significant impact on our success.

They are indeed different players though. Modders job was to sit back and conduct. Dembele can't do that so I assumed his job was to drive through defenses.. Which he's finally starting to do.

It's sideways antics that were getting on everybody's nerves, especially given his undoubted talent to drive at people.

Him and Sandro have to be the 2 CMs IMO. The other advanced role should be between Paulinho and Eriksen
