Really puzzling how bad he was yesterday. First touch was awful, and he actually looked like a wee lost boy out there. He still has a long way to go in his career, but this is not the first game where he has looked less than ordinary. I don't think it would be an over reaction to rest him and play Griffiths for a few games,
ffs :lol: what was it 12 in 6 or 7 games before yesterday?

anyone describing him as lazy in any way shape or form as clueless and watching a different player from me every game.

even taking personal opinions out of it, listen to any interview brendan rodgers has ever done and glenn driscolls talk about the gps, tracking, fat check and fitness tests done. if anyone thinks for one second that rodgers would be picking a lazy player there is no words
Where did I say he was lazy :ponder: I said he looked lost out there yesterday, and if you can't see that then it is you who are clueless, or just chosing to be blind to the facts. The number of goals he scored in previous games has nothing to do with how he played yesterday. Griffiths scores goals just as regularly when he plays, and I think, as I said that it wouldn't be an over reaction to give Dembele a wee rest.

He should be rested on the back of one poor performance?

I bet opposition defenders would rather face the diminutive forward with little pace.

That diminutive forward with little pace only scored 40 goals last season. I'm not questioning Dembele's ability or overall attitude. Just suggesting that he might benefit from a rest, and that we have a more than adequate replacement. Don't understand why making such a suggestion evokes such disbelieving reactions. It's not that unreasonable.

Yesterday was all a clever ruse to make the watching scouts think he's rubbish.

First time i have seen any indication that the boy was affected by all the hype around him. He was trying too hard.

His Dad was in the stand watching too, maybe that had an effect who knows but he wasn't at the races yesterday and yet a bit of luck in controlling the ball and he'd have buried it no doubt.

So because he didn't score yesterday and had a poor game he should be dropped, ffs some people have been waiting for that so they could say drop him for Griffiths, unbelievable.

I'm a pretty massive Griffiths fan and I wouldn't say that. So not sure you're on the ball with that shout.
That said, any player off form should be aware the position in the team is temporary.

So with that in mind, I think we'll be starting with the youths in the next game. 😂

Bigbhoyo stated it in a few post's above and I imagine some others who were stating before the last huns game at their midden that Griffiths should be playing Dembele needs dropped etc because he hadn't scored in two games.

Let's be honest if Dembele isn't injured he will be starting the vast majority of games. Griffiths will get his chance for a few games when the league is wrapped up and he is over his niggly injuries which now appears to be the case.

Meh, everybody has bad games. I'd rather he got it out of the way in a league game than a cup one at this point in time. He's human and 20 after all.

I imagined he woulda been given the chance due to the nature of opposition for the qualifier and fact its a friendly against Spain.

Hopefully he isnt too far away, who are there forwards in this squad?
