    I get that.

    But he has to show more in games like yesterday, his body language had nothing to do with it. The ball was bouncing off him, wasn't in the game at all. Wasn't all about effort, but just his general quality of play.

    With the supposed talent he has, regardless of the fact he is 21, he is now a reasonably experienced player and should have enough to cause Hamilton more problems than that. Far too often it happens. No problem in highlighting it.

    If he could finish like Leigh Griffiths then the £30 million price tag might not seem so far fetched. For example the chance he missed at the start of the game against Hamilton is the type of opportunity Griffiths can bury with his eyes closed.

    Griffiths has missed a silly amount of easy 1 on 1's to be fair..

    If Griff was as * as Dembele yesterday though, the whole place would be unanimously calling for Dembele next week..

    A mixture of both, I'd say.

    Against Dundee the service to him was dreadful.

    Against Hamilton he could and should've opened the scoring within 6 seconds of the game starting which may have set us off to a more convincing win. No guarantees of that as he then took the lead and squandered it not long after. His 2 free-kicks from decent positions were rotten.

    The inconsistent argument is getting old. Yes he's young but he's 22 in a couple of months, not an 18 year old who is breaking through.

    He should be offering more in matches like yesterday. It's Hamilton ffs. He struggles in games like that far too often.

    Don't think it's down to inconsistency. Think he simply cannot be bothered giving 100% against the likes of Dundee, Hamilton, etc. Watch him this weekend, he will raise his game against the huns. I think he already has one eye on the the summer window and his possible suitors, so he is only gonna give his all in the big games where there will be scouts watching.

    Brutalised the hun defenders. One of his finest games for us.

    That boy get's bummed up in the same category as KT..

    He's been done pretty much every time we've played. The whole first half he was murdered and second was just what was coming before. He was lucky no to give away a penalty and just done enough first half..

    A man against a boy, yet only just over a year in it :56:

    Individual battles galore. McCrorie and Dembele. Docherty and Broony. Rogic and Halliday. Candeias and KT. Murphy and Lustig..

    All clamped..

    Unplayable in that form, at this level. Wish we seen it more often tbh.

    Anyone who’s watched any youth football over the years know him and his brother are absolute calamities.

    Every game McCrorie has played CB he’s made a howler. Not even just little slip ups, full blown calamities.

    Ajer and Hendry are on another level to him never mind KT.

    The 2 nil we beat them at their dump he got turned but Griff and caught out and was static as Rogic scored the first....got away with a penalty handball as well..

    They said he had a great game :rofl:

    He's bullied them before but not to the same extent as he did today. He was at it from the first minute.

    Sensational.
