Dembele

I could only manage to watch the first half of our game vs Utd but thought that Dembele was one of our best players.

He was at fault for the goal but those mistakes can happen.

Reading many comments on this board saying that Dembele is past it etc, was he really bad in the second half?

I have never got the argument about the stats that he doesnt score or assist, I always rated Modric and he didnt really do that either.

Whats everyones thoughts on him, is he past it?

Tbf not at all. When we were talking about him it was nothing at all with regards to his passing ability

True. You actually said he couldn't pass for toffee, but was a better dribbler than Iniesta.

Iniesta is a poor mans Lewis Holtby

Does anyone have any hope for Winks?

Before his injury he was looking really good, I remember the game against Madrid he didnt look out of place.

I think he was overrated due to the Madrid games and also his England debut. Headline games but hasn’t ever stood out more regularly in the bread and butter games vs Everton etc.

Maybe, will be interesting to see what Poch does when he is over his injury.

Sandy I can remember many many times when he's broken up play, drawn one or two players out and then provided the ball in to our (now) free creators.

Not saying he has turned into a bad player mate, he hasn`t, but he will need replacing, if only because of his age.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He is what 30? He is not that old.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


He will be 31 by the start of next season, and going on 32 by the end. Not that old I know, but players of that age are rarely as good as those say mid to late 20s. Some are, but very few.

They’re still going down, they’ve only got 3 games left. Shame it didn’t work out for him with us though.
