Dembele is good defensively though, essentially a DM really.

Dembele is the ultimate player you hate to play against if you are a midfielder, but not if you are a defender.

Yeah I meant with the ball, Edin. Dembele is great defensively. Imagine him and Pogba in the same team. Would be such a baaastard to play against.

Would it make sense for Dembélé to press as high up as possible, rather than just shielding the defence? Combined wth his dribbling skills it sound like he'd be quite dangerous winning the ball close to the oppo box.

Anyhow it's been nice chatting about Spurs. Think I better get going soon.

Imagine a midfield of:


Pogba Dembele
Kante

Would cry playing against them

Pressing seems to require something different though, his defensive skills are often involved in stopping the dribble more than the pass (almost amusingly) which means he is probably more useful further back defensively. But yeh, good chat

Strangely Kante and Pogba haven't really hit it off for France.

Especially considering they are accompanied with the brilliant Matuidi

Breaking | Lucas Moura has agreed personal terms with Tottenham. (RMC)

Thing is Matuidi is best on that left hand side where Pogba plays best so it's not surprising all three together doesn't work.

Yeah maybe it is too much of three players whose strengths all coincide.

Maybe
Pogba - Rabiot
Kondogbia

Would give them more balance despite dropping some of there better players.

Good signing btw

Drop Kante? How dare you.

Kante has been poor by his standards this season.

Well I think Kante is too good if anything, need an anchor by Pogba maybe

Kante's so overrated.

Yeh, no passing range at all. The ultimate midfielder vs weak midfielders.

Will be interesting seeing him against Barca. Chelsea are fonna get given the run around in that tie I reckon.

I genuinely think if Chelsea get a result it will be cos Bakayoko plays well, a bit controversial.

Is a false 9 the same as a number 10?

Good wum.

Both Pogba and Kante are overrated. Spain midfield gave them a run around last time they met.

On the current form I dread to think what will the scoreline will be against Barca. I hope CFC keeps it respectable

Pogba's underrated. Since he's joined United all people do is slag him off.

He is very overrated for the price Utd paid for him. Nothing special about him. At least CFC didn’t get ripped off for Kante.

This isn't even a coherent sentence.

Yeah good bit of business. Instead you spent nearly as much on Bakayoko and Drinkwater as we did on Pogba.

And Pogba's better than all your midfielders.

There are no easy games in the Prem.

Pogba only turns up for the easy games in the Prem.
