Dembeles game is suited to counter attack football so its no surprise he has been a huge flop.
Just a nice way of saying that he’s reliant on his non-technical attributes
Dembele has disappointed in counter-attacking contexts too:
I still blame him for Liverpool advancing to the Champions League final last season. Not Valverde's tactics, not Barca's bottling—Dembele's pathetic finish to that counter-attack is why the scouse pricks advanced. It should've been over right then and there.
Had he scored that sitter gifted to him by Messi, Liverpool wouldn't have done jack shit in the return leg. A potential goal advantage of four compared to the actual three heading back to
Wankfield would've been the definite difference.
He has missed similar chances before. Perhaps yet another talent that won't be realised, although not because of technical shortcomings, but rather by mentality issues.
Air head.
Hated the guy since he fluffed his lines vs Liverpool at home. He had two good chances to make it 4-0 and 5-0.
What I'm trying to communicate here, really.
He'll forever be a dickhead in my books…unless he joins us and rips it up for many seasons and somehow makes amends.
