Ankle knock but he didn't look in any pain as he came off (could be just because the man is emotionless, don't think he cried when he came out of the womb).
Kudos to Dembele for coming back this season as a different player. It looked dim for awhile. I'm not sure what was said between him and Poch, but whatever Poch said to him Dembele bought in.
He did a great job of shedding weight in the offseason and coming into this season in excellent shape.

I don't know how often your average player gets injured but it seems a lot to me. New sick note?

Think I remember reading he had talks with poch about wanting playing time to show what he could do, don't remember him being close to leaving tho? In fact I kinda remember him saying he never wanted to leave
Brilliant performance today. Easily the best footballer on the pitch and should have been awarded the man of the match award. So important to the team and we'll get top four if he starts every game from now until the end of the season. Of course with his injury problems, this is probably not going to happen but on the teamsheet every time he is fit please.
Agree, when he is in the team we look more solid in the middle, strong as an ox and after yesterday seems to have a better idea what to with the ball around the opposition penalty area.
He seems to be emerging as the player we all hoped he could be
Hope he stays fit

Since 2002 ?? I should think he was still sucking his mums tit then.. It is normal to suck your mums tit at 14 isn't it??? Please say yes..
Well, it is normal for you.
Phew, I was worried for a minute.
Said it before and I'll say it again, when Dembele plays, Tottenham play well. He is the rock of the team, he works back to win the ball, he supports the front line, he can hold the ball up and always offers a ball out from defence. Rarely misplaces a pace and never loses it.. Like I said before.. Dembele on the ball, gets hit by a bus, retains possession
He could shag my missus better than me!

Always had it in him, which is what made him so frustrating in years gone by because we all knew what he was capable of.
Every time he comes back from an injury this year, I worry he will revert to his old self, but he keeps on proving me wrong.
A joy to watch and has become one of most important players. All credit to him for turning it around - in the summer, I wanted one more season out of him to show what he could do and he's done it.

said, every game i think he'll be back to his previous low risk style of play, but time and time again he tries to get forward, bullies whoever has the misfortune of having to play him and helps out the defence with crucial tackles and blocks when needed.
He's become a complete midfield player, and adding a few goals to his tally can only help him grow.
All his injuries are apparently linked to one problem, his hips. He has an unbalance in his hips and that is known to cause constant issues with calves and ankles. Also his style of play if very demanding, he gets hit hard about 10 times a game because he is always so close to the ball, because he has such enormous upper body strenght players barge into him constantly but he takes em all on. Funniest tackle he ever conceded was one from Hazard, who injured himself in the proces. Vertonghen and Dembele were mocking him after that, Verts saying he never ever tackles Dembele in training just because he knows he'll hurt himself in the proces. Kompany once said its like walking into a brick wall, you get hurt and he doesnt move an inch.

I think they realised at the last minute they'd been confusing him with Capoue all this time!!!
It's strange that a player re-discovers the reason we signed him in the first place whilst still with us!
Usually they have to leave first, and then we're left regretting it and asking "Why couldn't he do that with us???"
Well the Moose can, and he is!
I just wanted to say how much I love Dembele and how he's been playing this season. I know most in this thread have been saying it and I've clicked agree a few times for you all but I just wanted to put it out there that I think he is easily our most important player for us this season and I say that knowing deep down, I would suck Harry Kane's cock is he asked me to and I've never had a gay thought in my life.
I really hope Dembele knows how much we all appreciate what he's done this season so far and long may it continue. Please stay fit Moose and I hope Dan Levy offers you a contract for life.

That's some serious time consuming research
