Name checked as a big game player by the manager in latest official website preview piece. It makes sense to start him tomorrow as he's our best striker and we don't have another game for a while. |

Or you could look at it that his trend is to score two goals fewer per subsequent game. Therefore we should expect him to get -1 this game. an OG? |

If you're not trolling, I have to ask, how do you come to this conclusion? In what way is Griffiths a better all round player? *edited for clarity* Edited by morpheus, 30 Dec 2016, 05:06 PM.

I wouldn't put it past BR to spring a surprise like that. I know he has been reluctant to play both, but this could well be a situation that calls for a wee surprise to catch sevco off guard. Usually, any time they have both started Dembele has stayed up front and Griffiths has been moved wide or back behind Dembele. What hasn't been tried, as far as I know, is reversing this and leaving Griffiths up front with Dembele in the hole. They are both quite different types. Dembele is the bigger stronger striker who can use that strength hold off defenders, while Griffiths relies on his pace and positioning. They both shoot well with either foot and can also head the ball effectively. But Dembele seems to me to be the more versatile player and could well fit into Rogic's slot behind Griffiths. Just an idea (that will no doubt be ridiculed). Edited by kellybhoy, 30 Dec 2016, 05:34 PM.

I could see them playing together in this one and Dembele getting behind that Sevco defence and scoring a hat trick pretty easily. Mind you, he's only thirteen so maybe just a double this time. |

Correct. Goals against Astana, Be'er Sheva, Man City and Gladbach too. The boy thrives on the big game atmosphere. |

Saw this suggested on another thread the other day. Think it's an interesting idea, but not sure that this is the best game to try it out. |

Dembele came on and played behind Griffiths at home against the Israeli side. |

I can't see Dembele as a No 10, he's capable of causing havoc as a main striker but too much to ask at this stage that he adapt to a deeper role and his overall awareness isn't quite there yet. Dembele should start as the main striker as their centre backs are easily dragged out of shape and as others have said he seems to have the balls for the big games. |

Pretty decent. He took Rogic off as he was blowing out his backside and they were starting to get time on the ball to bring it out from the back. Dembele stopped that from happening and the game swung back in our favour. I'd imagine if you wanted to play that way it would depend on the game. Dembele would be better in the air so going long would be an option. He's not going to pick a killer pass like a Rogic, though. I think it's an as and when required option and not something that plays to our strengths. Nor is Griffiths out wide or in the hole. |

You would think blowing out your backside would speed you up. A wee arse-jet if you will. |
