    Just wish he would calm down on his shooting sometimes. That chance for 2-1 from Kuhn's ball is the sort of thing he needs to work on. Still absolutely love him.

    He could play for any club in the world if he had composure. He might finish it he might smash a window of a car in the car park it's a coin toss

    Daizen will be very fondly remembered and talked about by Celtic supporters for a very very long time after he retires. He may not fall into the legend category but he certainly has become a iconic Celtic player. He gives everything and runs himself into the ground for Celtic every time he plays, how can you seriously not love wee Daizen. :49:

    He's like a more popular version of Sammy: he can be infuriating sometimes; but he provides something unique and in big games and big moments, you look to him.

    Like most cult figures at our club, people ignore the flaws and over egg the positives. Or maybe the other way round.
    He drives me absolutely mad with his lack of basic footballing ability and zero composure.
    But I guess you take the rough with smooth, he undoubtedly contributes well in SPL and owns Tavernier.

    If we truly want to progress, we need someone with Kuhns ability on both sides of pitch.
    Maeda will always be a limitation at top level UCL.

    I think that’s a mad take. Daizen brings a different style which gives us the flexibility. Look at when we broke Leipzig press in the second half, a through ball and we had Daizen and Kyogo in a foot race for a 2 v 2 that our two will win most times. Same happened against the sheep in the semi.

    That type of power holds teams deeper than they want, it gives us a tremendous amount of flexibility.

    Disagree. His pressing is key to everythin this team is doing he's possibly the greatest presserin world football. If not, name me one more hard working. I get where you are coming from but what we need is the striker scoring from what he generate.

    Even if he score 0 goals his work rate is irreplacable.
