    Think Dembele is more suited to CL games and in particular away games.

    The wee guys brilliant but yet another showing away from home against a better team where he just doesn't have the attributes to play up top isolated like that. Need to get the Moose firing so he can take over in these games as use Griff as an impact sub.

    Pumping long balls at him with a world-class CD a foot taller hanging out of his * is not giving the guy any hope in *. He is a top class finisher but needs chances to be created or at least support to create space.

    Some of the comments in here are embarrassing. He absolutely deserved to start last night..

    If Dembele had been given more game time v Dundee then maybe there was a dilemma for BR..

    We punted hit and hopes at him for most of the night against two of the best CBs in the world. Last night wasn't his fault.

    Easy for Dembele to make an impact when the game already over.

    Dembele gives us another option no doubt and both bring different attributes but Griff had to start last night Dembele still getting up to speed.

    Griff has carried the fight in all fronts this season and deserves enormous credit.

    Good to have both fighting fit..

    Couldnt agree more.

    No matter what he keeps making runs and chasing lost causes.
    He had little-no service last night and suffered due to how how often we lost the ball at the back.
    Dembele isnt fit enough and hasnt got going yet this season. His inclusion wasnt even in question in my opinion.

    Griffiths is a quality striker who scores regularly in important games for us, yet for some reason is underrated by our own fans.

    Worked his socks off last night, it was a tough game for him playing against 2 of the best centre halfs on the planet.

    Punting long balls up to him was only going to end one way.

    Don't know how he can get any blame for the other night. For what it's worth I actually agree Dembele is better suited away in Europe but don't see how Griffiths can impress with balls launched to him in the air. Tierney was the main culprit for this however they were all guilty.

    Tierney was trying to hit it along the ground to him, low balls, he wasn’t succesful at all but at least he was * thinking about it.

    I agree with the sentiment though.

    His turn to win back the starting spot I'd say. Been fantastic all season but he has dipped in form the last 3-4 games. Think the rest/competition will do him (and Moussa) good.
