Seems to be a lot of people on dembelles back this year and I’ve no clue why I don’t know what the guys to do with no service and the injuries he’s had this year it seems everybody’s mind was made up on who our best striker was when Griffiths ties a scarf to a post.

{Ed007's Note - Dembele is a better all round player than Griffiths who is a better finisher but is starting to remind me of Kris Commons with just shooting any time he gets the ball regardless of where he is on the park. They're totally different types of player but for I'd say LG needs to start using the ball more more intelligently when he's not in the box.}

I agree ed he is becoming a lot like commons I like Griffiths but Dembelle is a far better player who i would start over Griffiths if both were fit but I do feel a lot of fans are getting on dembelles back for no reason guys scored 5 goals in his last 7 games no a lot more you can ask for.

{Ed007's Note - After his injury that's a good return and don't forget his identical assists for KT up at Pittodrie and Edouard's clincher at The Pit. It's rarely going to happen but I think regularly playing both Dembele and Griffits like an old fashioned front 2 partnership would devastate Scottish football in the Larsson & Sutton/Hartson and even Hateley and McCoist days of yore.}

I don't think he has been as bad for it under br. The seaon under rd when he was going for 40 he would of tried a lob from a goal kick if he was allowed. I agree though he has more assist in him. The rest of his game has came on. Its the ballance of greed.

{Ed007's Note - I'm not dissing LG, I done enough of that when he signed and I'm delighted to admit he's proven (proved?) me wrong. Maybe it's the chasing his hundreth goal in a slow canter to the league is making him greedy. Hopefully once he gets the monkey off his back next week with 99 and 100 he'll go back to his usual ways and bringing team mates into play if that's the best option.
To be fair though he's not the only player that needs to sharpen up their decision making during games.}

Really don't understand in what area Dembele is better than Griffiths.

Griffiths has better movement, quicker, better in the air, better finisher, better first touch.

Dembele this season is so static and hardly moves. Most of his goals have been penalties this year.

Stephen he's not been as prolific this year, there's no doubt he's had injuries, and I live him as a player and he always does a bit of hunskelpin but people are just being honest this year he's tailed off a bit.

Dembele takes a while getting back to full fitness after injuries, in my opinion that is why he has looked off the pace a lot of the time.
I think that Dembele is the better all round player as he has caused problems for teams in Europe more than Griffiths has. Griffiths is good enough in the Scottish league but I feel he struggles to make an impact at a higher level
I think we are fortunate to have them both at the club at the same time though.

I would go with Griff on Sunday personally. Think he would cause Alves all kinds of problems with his movement. The thing with the Moose is when he’s off he’s game he has very little impact whereas when Griff is having a poor game you still fancy him to score.

To get the best out of Dembele (and Griffiths) we have to play to their strengths and that is not happening enough.
However Moussa's goal at Ibrox and LG's goal yesterday are recent reminders of what the right service can produce and it doesn't always have to be umpteen passes from side to side, tiring out strikers, making empty runs, trying to score the perfect goal.

I don't think it's fair to judge Dembele or any player playing on that damn surface that like Kilmarnock, is specially prepared to prevent good football and hinder good footballers .
Before the match most sensible pundits just wanted Celtic to win the game and not have injuries, we achieved that and then some try to take apart performance of team and individual players.
