I’d love to get Brendan’s opinion on what is wrong with him.

Really like him but that was awful. He obviously wasn’t trying. Didn’t jump for headers. Didn’t show for passes.

People give Sinclair grief but Dembele is barely lifting a leg for us. No movement and not holding it up.
Questionable attitude. Something is up with this lad.
At least with Sinclair, he's getting involved, making himself available, trying to take on defenders - even if being greedy :lol: - making runs and getting into scoring positions. The flack is mostly due to missing chances and the greediness is often because of a lack of movement from team-mates (yesterday he was doubled up on a lot which should have freed up space elsewhere).

Maybe the comments on Eduourd which everyone thought referenced Morelos were about Dembele (and/or agents).

it would be a bit out of character for him to make fly digs at their mob.

No service at all yesterday. I'm struggling to see how him dropping deep into the most congested part of the pitch would've helped us. We needed our wide players to get past their markers. It didn't happen.
The right answer.

Won't stop people talking nonsense though. :thumbsup:

His casual return flicks of thrown ins straight out of play has nothing to do with wingers not beating their men.

He was rank rottenyesterday.

I like Moussa and like everyone else would love him to recapture his form of last season and these excuses would be viable if yesterday’s performance was a one off but this season it’s been the norm, with a few notable exceptions.

He’s not yet got going this season - still hoping it’ll come off for him but each passing month it’s looking less likely.

So did I tbh. Morelos never crossed my mind. No service yesterday but didn't look particularly interested in making something happen himself either. Poor from him.

But surely if he shows the attitude of yesterday, clubs will not exactly be knocking down his agents door to sign him? Don't get it.com

You could always pick one or two things out of a players performance that they done wrong.

I thought Dembele for the most part when the ball came to him was okay. Not worth some of the replies on here - it seems like if he doesnt score he's played shampooe which isnt the case at all.

If you play with 1 striker and 6 midfielders behind them its not really up to the striker to go and get involved in play. It's up to the 6 midfielders behind him to make things happen to bring him into the game.

Which was very challenging given the lack of space between their defence and midfield. Kilmarnock put in the complete performance against us and, truth be told, we persevered with a strategy that just wasn't working.

Big huffy arse better get his act together, lazy fecker, basically all we've got up front.

How about running about a bit and losing yer marker big man, instead of standing there with your hands on your hips.

Hurry up back Griff ffs.

A few folk on different threads seem to think he is just back from injury and use it to excuse his lacklustre performances but if I'm right it would appear that he has taken part in 8 out of our last 9 games and scored only once.

You aren’t right.

He didn’t play against Brechin or Thistle for a start.
