    Along with Mooy, been awesome since WC, was my MOM last night.
    Never stopped, head never went down even when things didn't come off for him, ripped that boy a new *, * was utterly dejected when subbed off. Must be an absolute nightmare to play against, loved the way he was constantly snapping at them when he was out of possession.
    Can you imagine the player we would have if was a clinical finisher?
    6 SPL goals so far this season, should get to double figures nae bother before end of season.

    This. Our other Japanese players are regularly helping opposition players to their feet and all. Daizen though, leaves the * laying on the floor. Love it.

    Might have been on the receiving end of abuse, so he decided traditional sportsmanship doesn't apply?

    Scores quite a few fluke goals. Good peace of luck to have. Thought he was excellent last night.

    Said from the start he doesn't seem like the other Japanese bhoys on the pitch , has a bit of nastiness in a good way about him

    Yeah you can see the opponents getting wound up when they are close to him. I think he talk * to them and pinches them and all that :56: because it happens often that they are raging close to him and push him.

    Guaranteed starter for me..

    I'd rather move Jota to the right than leave Maeda out at the minute..

    Jota's better on the left but still effective on the right..

    Was brilliant last night yet again..

    Easily man of the match last night. Jota isn't as strong on the right no doubt, but we just can't leave Maeda on the bench right now. Miles ahead of Abada, Forrest and Haksa on current form.

    Maeda could easily do the same thing on the right side. Afterall, people have mentioned he's actually right-footed. Imagine the dread of a left back who thinks: "At least I don't have to face that bald maniac...", only to have Jota and Maeda switch sides. New underwear needed.

    You're probably right, but Haksa hasn't had many chances

    My concern at the moment is lack of time for haksa tbh.

    Maeda isn’t made to play on the right at all. But he brings so much.

    Jota is the best player in Scotland and stays in his best position for me.

    It’s a nice quandary to have in some ways, but haksa is an incredibly skilful player and him languishing on bench getting a few minutes here and there isn’t great.

    I expect 1 of the 3 to move in the summer.

    I’d be gutted if that 1 was haksa as he won’t command a big fee but I’m certain that he can play at a VERY high level.

    One option is to play him in the midfield. I'd argue McGregor isn't needed for every game, and O'Riley or Iwata can deputize there. Hakšabanović in front of whoever that is- and we'll still dominate.

    Get where you are coming from mate but he’s a bit of a free spirit movement-wise for that (imo).

    we got away with cal being injured but if fit he starts. Every game. Has the brown about him, just a Mercedes engine that gets to 200k on the clock without much concern.

    Haska needs game time in my opinion too. I’d hate to lose him in the summer because I think he could be brilliant for us. At present it’s difficult to fit everyone in.
