Who is that player in the video? Can we swap him for our slow paced & indecisive Dembele please?
I'm still a Dembele fan, needs to get back to doing this though, if his hip allows him

I will support any players pulling on our shirt but I am really not looking forward for another season of watching Dembele. Is he even fit? The fact we are after Schneiderlein tells me Poch is not too impressed
how about Poch giving him a chance in training first........i thought Poch was the sort of manager to get an extra 10-20% out of players
He's a phenomenally good dribbler, but his passing (even in that video) is seriously lacking in creativity.
He's not an 80 year old man with alzheimer's. He's a year younger than me FFS, that must make me degenerative/vegetative.
It's not an easy thing to coach into players, otherwise he would have learned it by now.
I watched a video of LVG's AZ team the other day. Dembele was an absolute monster in that team - scoring incredible goals great movement, passing etc. it's all there - he needs to be encouraged to use it.
It's not too late to reunite the Dembele - Sandro partnership; that was brilliant!

GHod KNOWS may be a new player or Holtby, Bentaleb, Azza (according to Poch)...
Yep I was making that point before that he looks a different player compared some of these early (and not so early!!) videos. He was more willing to try a pass or shot back then but that seems to have been coached out of him!!
Any player that has performed at a very high level and is not preforming to the same standard anymore can be brought back to where they were by a good coach. Dembele's problems are all decision making issues as far as I can see. That instinctiveness and risk taking needs to be coached back into his game so he actually tries things rather than playing it safe and without 2nd guessing himself all the time. Last chance saloon for him this season.
