    Robertson was up the field most of the day yesterday and Arsenal were too pish to take advantage of the space he left. He was solid again yesterday apart from the 1 on 1 with Pepe that he fluffed. KT will do well to have the season he had, he’s certainly capable.

    He got turned more than once with Pepe, over on the left twice then through the middle as well and Pepe should have punished them but couldn’t finish.

    He has been poor this season loads of fans are saying the same thing like he isn’t match fit and being caught out up the park loads.

    Maybe he is rusty or something but doesn’t look the same as last season.

    I think they will stick with him until the end of the season cause no * with any sort of pedigree will want to step in there at the moment

    At the minute I will go with Dembele.
    If Edouard keeps improving at his current rate?? Maybe. The thing is, Dembele should also be improving year-on-year.

    Right now looking at the two of them Dembelle is the better player. But Edouard is younger and not as developed as Dembelle is at the moment. When the two of them hit their peaks in their mid to late twenties then it'll be interesting to see who is the better player. Unfortunately for us neither of them will be playing with us by the that point.

    Eds class, but Dembele at the moment and also during his time at Celtic.

    As said Ed is different though, as he drops a lot deeper and likes a dribble and has some absurdly great touches more than Dembele.

    Dembele was more a goal threat to me and used his strength and power brilliantly.

    Must say we have had a consistent run of great strikers over the last 20 years or so

    Larsson
    Hartson
    Sutton
    JVofH
    McDonald
    Hooper
    Griffiths
    Dembele
    Edouard

    If only we had them all playing for us at the same time:35:

    Ahh the GK,one defender and 9 strikers team... what a team that would be with 9 strikers in their half the whole game while our one defender deals with the other teams attacking

    I would say that is a very accurate description of the 2 players. Both very good but very different types of strikers.

    I think the run in the middle 4 players is not quite the same standard

    JVOH
    McDonald
    Hooper
    Thumb
    Dembele
    Eddy

    Would easily win the league by at least 100 goals

    Dembele is the better player.

    I agree with those saying it would have been awesome to see the two of them play together for a season. The few times they did play together up front they really looked like they had something going.
