He's fragile and makes mental errors but the skill and talent is undeniable and he makes plays.

You only focus on the positive though. He has several failed actions too tonight. Still makes plenty of wrong/low IQ decisions too. It's always the good and the bad with him, I don't think that will ever change.
Team looks good going forward, they play way more vertical football than in previous games. Great goal from Gavi and a shame that early Ferran goal was just offside.
Amazing.
In the first 30 minutes alone, Dembele could have had 4 assists and didn't lose a single ball.
He sent the new guy alone on goal, but he couldn't control the ball properly.
He assisted on the corner with a great pass.
He then sent FDJ alone on goal, but FDJ missed the ball entirely.
Then he sent the new guy alone on goal AGAIN, but the guy shot too close to the keeper to deflected it.
What failed actions on those 30 minutes? Who's focusing on what?
If he had more technical teammates, he'd have 4 assists and you'd claim the same thing? Of course not. Yet it's not his fault the three plays didn't end up as goals.
Man, if only Messi was not triumphed for doing the same things against Elche too....

The thing is Messi was doing it against everybody. I used to like Dembele as a substitute during our high flying tiki taka days, because when the tiki taka was not working he was a good option off of the bench as an incredibly chaotic player to add an element of surprise to our team. Had we got him for 30-35 million, which is what he's probably worth, I'd even like the guy. Not his fault of course he cost so much and he's made of glass, but he's not made any fans in Barcelona either.

I'm not watching this tyre fire of a team draw Elche, not when Haaland is playing at the same time. The price is what people are willing to pay for him, let's say I was exagerating to make a point, but do you really think any team in the world would pay 50 mil for Dembele in 2021?
Maybe based on potential. In any case, the upside is so high, as you can see in the first 30 minutes.
I think he needs some good coaching (something he never had in Barcelona, it must be said) and I'm sure he'd be healthier as well.
If those two conditions are met, the sky is the limit.

He doesn't play la liga anymore man. You're mistaken.
He's struggling with L1's defenses right now in a real tough league.

I don't think he will ever fulfill that potential he once had. You also make it seem like nothing is his fault, like it's only outside elements that have made him into what he is now. While that is true to some degree, his low IQ and immature character will hold him back just as much as the coaching or health.

Interesting. I get nothing is easy but the man is well paid and he's got to be better. David sure isn't struggling with those same defenders.
