He wasn't the best player last week.
He was sensational. Who was better? Callum McGregor and Olivier Ntcham.

Again the midfield are to blame for Dembele doing nothing. Perhaps the midfield are currently wishing they had a striker who pulled the defence, worked the channels, showed for the ball and tried to link play?
Pity that guy is injured.
 but but apparently MD does that?? Last year he had a point to prove and even then in a lot of the games it did seem he couldn't be bothered then a big game comes along and he plays a blinder, next game away to Killie or such like not that great. A lot of us allowed this as he is a young lad with potential and he can't be expected to be brilliant every week. This year he is playing as if he think he has already proved his point and only plays well when he can be bothered, perhaps last week there were more agents at Celtic Park than were there tonight. I will repeat that a £30m rated striker makes his own chances, has a better first touch and drags defenders all over the place to make space for the rest of the team...MD for me doesn't do that. LG whilst not being able to hold the ball up as good as MD would have dragged that defence from one wing to the other, he is quicker at getting the ball under control and would have gotten us further up the park due to his ability to turn quickly on the ball on beat his defender, but I don't want to turn this into a LG v MD thread, that has been done to death, but MD like Sinclair for some folk on this thread can do no wrong and all their deficiencies they have shown this season seems to be down to the rest of the team
LG has been consistently shampooe in any game that he comes up against a decent centre half. The idea that he would have been the difference is absurd and shows the level we're dealing with on this thread. What is absurd is your constant defending of MD when it is obvious that the big man has been pish in over 90% of the games he has played this year and it is obvious that he sees himself as being too good for us. MD has been consistently pish whenever he has came up against SPFL centre halves this season, so don't really get your point!

Callum McGregor and Olivier Ntcham. Easily, and Brown and Ajer.

The idea that he would have been the difference is absurd and shows the level we're dealing with on this thread. Griffiths has started 3 CL group stage games - We won one of those. The other two he was up against Thiago Silva & Marquinhos and Hummels & Boateng. Although if you're extending your definition of 'decent' to include the teams we play the qualifiers, then Griffiths has done more for Celtic in Europe than Dembele has since Rodgers has arrived at the club.

People who understand the importance of a player like MD in games like that playing the style we did will understand how good he was last week. The rest of you can talk about Callum McGregor and Scott Brown

I'm not just talking about in the CL.
I'm talking about his whole career. Anyway, don't want to get into this discussion. You can't argue with The Cult of Leigh Griffiths. I don't want to see Nakasboots get banned again.

His touch is rotten, he was caught on his heels a few times and he seemed to amble about a lot. I agree he didn’t get a lot of service but he didn’t exactly create space for himself.

He done pretty well against Smalling and Cahill. The funny thing about set pieces is that the centre halfs can't really do anything to stop them.
He done well vs Joe Hart. My point.

His close control has disappeared to eff. Will be shocked if we get close to even £15 million for him in the summer.

Dembele seemed to chuck it for me, wandering about tens of yards offside, caught flat footed and was hobbling about looking to come off until he realised we’d used all subs then he started looking for the ball and running at folk. What summed his performance up was when Tierney hit the by line to fire that cross in and the only guy anywhere near it was Musonda who’d burst his arse in off the right wing.
