Not at all. The point I was making was that whilst everybody was in agreement that Dembele had a good game last week some people thought the importance of Brown or the overall performance of McGregor helped the team more. I would disagree - Dembele was the main reason we dominated the game (with obvious help from everyone else) and allowed us to play further up the park than we were able to tonight. The difference in his performance last week and this week was one thing - a lack of support. He won the balls that came up to him, he knocked them down, he held the ball up, he just had nobody in any space to make a difference beside him. |

I noticed that too, it was almost a re-run of Nir Bitton when Sevco beat us in the semi. |

So he took a knock, ran it off and continued the game and we're on here saying that he's chucked it ala Nir Bitton vs the Huns. effing hell.

Genuine question, have you ever actually criticised Dembele? And after this question I will no longer reply to your comments about him as obviously we disagree as to his worth to the team (/self) and his performances. |

For me like most of this season he has not played particularly well...okay at CP and gash tonight apart from odd run with ball. Shadow of former self and more it goes on less money he will be worth. Regressing badly. |

He’s giving the CB’s too much time on the ball, and is not working hard enough, when we don’t have the ball. Edouard and Griffiths press the defence. If Dembele doesn’t get back to doing that consistently, rather than when he feels like it, then he may lose his place. |

How Dembele has become the scapegoat for that pish tonight is a disgrace. At least half the team had a poorer game, Griffiths would have done better tho.. |

Whose said he is the scapegoat? People are rightly saying he was poor. No one's throwing the fault at his door but you expect better from a player whose supposed to be made for this level. |

Think his form is more a symptom. Takes too long to get the ball to him. |

No one n this thread has said anything about a scapegoat ffs... He is not scoring enough nor working hard enough from the player he was last year. Like 80/90 % of his teammates he played poorly tonight when we all know he can play a lot better Edited by littlegmbhoy, 22 Feb 2018, 10:43 PM.

All the talk about valuations, Griffiths etc is pretty embarrassing though. Griffiths played similar amount of minutes in the group stages to Moussa and had half the attempts at goal and covered less ground. There is absolutely nothing to suggest he would have made any difference tonight despite what some people continue to tell themselves. Dembele IMO done well at times tonight and at other times should have been stronger. But anyone who has played football at any level will know how difficult it is to keep the ball against 2 or 3 men. Im certain if our midfield played closer to him we would have got more joy. Guys like McGregor whilst capable of performances like last week just aren't good enough at this level when the pressure is on. |

He was one of our better performers tonight. He did alright. Had zero support. |

Hes not working hard enough at the moment even domestically...he is a very good player and i take no satisfaction at all seeing a watered down version which he is just now...his goals this season total wise is poor for what he can be as well. Definitely seems out of sorts this season...BTW im a fan but sometimes you have to say how it is. |

What level have you played football at? I take it you have played football at a decent level as it is not the first time you have said something along these lines. |

I'd drop him and start Edouard against Aberdeen. Looks disinterested. |

you should probably stop speaking to stupid idiots then. Ste.CSC Seriously though, you’re talking nonsense. Dembele far more useful in games like tonight. Edit - the way you post, folk could be forgiven for thinking you’re happy when Dembele doesn’t score or when we’re rubbish when he plays, gives you more “evidence” in your pro-Griffiths argument.
