    Won the red but frustrating.

    Still...we should have kept him on a bit longer if putting on one of Abada or Johnston. They don't offer the cover he does.

    He works his * off and does produce good moments but if he didn’t have his pace he’d be absolutely nowhere near the level of a team like us. Technically he’s * horrific, makes a * of basic crosses and controlling the ball regularly.

    Normally I'd agree, his pressing from the front is invaluable in these games, but I don't think he looks quite back to his normal energy levels yet to go at it the full 90.

    Didn't play well today and still forced their red and offered real cover. We all saw the difference after he went off.

    Insane work rate but technically woeful from Daizen. What's new?

    His work rate alone keeps him in the team. Another to keep in the squad but cannot be seen as the answer.

    Centrally is where he causes the most havoc..

    Proved his worth again.. love how Maeda and Kyogo pressed for the red.. and O'Riley celebrating in the background:56:

    He always puts in a shift against them, he is so valuable tracking back and his work rate.

    I know he won the red but * me….he was absolutely diabolical at times. I forgot he was on for most of the game.

    He's been particularly bad recently though. Maybe just not yet up to speed.

    Like he's always been limited technically but he has still provided some usefulness going forward. Set up two different Jota goals v the Huns in past two seasons - one from the left and one from the right.

    Today was as if he'd never seen a ball before.

    he shouldn't be out wide maybe more central or just have a floating position where he just zips about utilising his strengths helping out the team, these are the things he excells at anyways, but taking a 1st touch into feet and trying to beat a man down the wing is defo not.

    I honestly have more technical ability. But he causes the opposition trouble off the ball which is all that matters.

    Guy is never a winger. He is a CF and that's that.

    Very frustrating with some of his quality of play, but think we really benefitted from him today when things got a bit scrappy, stretched them and helped out Johnston and others defensively.

    Just as well he was brought down I've no doubt that ball was ending up in the car park had he not been

    This for me is the problem Ange brought in guys like him who’re limited technically but work hard and suited his style this is the case with a few of our squad. So can see why Rodgers said he wants technically good players also think he doesn’t start when Abada is upto speed
