Daizen Maeda

His head must be scrambled tbf if his locker was emptied right enough he was essentially out the door then it's been totally binned due the board incompetence. He's not a striker for me and especially not for a tough away game in Europe where we need someone to hold it up and bring others in to play

 

As well as checking out mentally he is also simply not a very good player - he's lacking in technical ability and footballing intelligence.

Had short purple patch last season but back to normal Daizen now.
Any decent fee, sell.

 

It's not naive, it's actually balanced. It's a series of bad peformances, his confidence is shot and he needs taken out of the team. To question his professionalism is utterly disgraceful.

Your position is hysterical. Just because a player is not playing well doesn't mean they have chucked it, when you make mistakes on the ball, when you miss big chances, when you have a few bad touches, your confidence falls and when you don't trust yourself you shy away from things.

Has McGregor chucked it? He runs away from the ball every week, he hangs his centre backs out to dry. Is he a disgrace or is it due to him playing in a position he doesn't feel comfortable in?

 

Twice in the first half he didn’t even attempt to get himself back onside, that’s not a player low on confidence or unsure of himself, whatever weird way you wanted to put it. That’s simply down to desire and want to be out there.

Bad misses, poor touches, misplaced passes are frustrating aspects of his game but can generally be forgiven, a lack of effort can’t be.

Take your own advice if you’re happy enough with that.

 

Spot on 100%..

 

Was raging at that. Lazy *, and you don't hear that said of him often but was blatant. Couldn't be arsed.

 

Why we shoulda sold him at peak price for his age and contract length.

 

Absolutely zero excuse for being caught offside the amount he was tonight. Even in the press I thought he could have knicked the ball a couple of times but just didn’t look like he wanted to.
Still love him

 

I don't think you understand football son.

If your confidence is low, you shy away, if you make a mistake you don't want the ball because you doubt yourself and you don't want to keep making error after error after error.

To say what you are saying is outrageous. Are you saying Maeda is going out there to throw stinkers because he didn't get to leave before the window closed? Is that what you're suggesting.

Players are human, they have emotion and when you hit a bad run of form it might not actually always mean that you've chucked it or don't care. It might actually mean that you do not believe in yourself. He needs taking out of the team right now.

 

Just as well I never said that then? As I said technical deficiencies in his game are frustrating but he makes up for it in other aspects. Those I would attribute to not playing well. A lack of effort to get himself back onside, or to make himself an option to pass the ball to is completely different.

I’ve got no idea why you’re banging on about McGregor to be honest, has no relevance to Maeda not trying 100% tonight. As I said there’s a difference between not playing well or being out of form, and not giving your all. If you can’t see the difference then I’m not really sure what else there is to say.

 

Daizen Maeda went out there tonight and blatantly got caugh offside. Are you seriously listening to yourself here? Do you think he's having a laugh with his agent about it right now?

 

Hitting out with the “son” patter.

What a brass neck.

 

You said that - word for word.



Of course McGregor has relevance to Maeda, why are all players not treated equally. McGregor countless times this season has completely abdicated his role and his responsibility and hung his centre backs out to dry. Is that because he has chucked it, is it because he is a disgrace? Or is it maybe that he doesn't trust himself or his ability to perform that role so he shirks it?

 

* are you on about. Did you watch the incident I'm referring to??

He blatantly didn't try to get himself onside, like any striker worth their salt would and should do in that scenario.

 

No bother, son

Who are you his brother or something? It’s really not that deep and I’m sure he wouldn’t give a * what I think of him.

It’s only natural a player who clearly doesn’t want to be at the club (he said that himself) might not give 100% all the time because he’s not happy. It’s also completely natural that me as a fan isn’t happy about that because he’s being paid a fortune to do what he does.

If you think him being caught offside twice in the space of 10 minutes because he made no effort to get back is down to poor form then that’s fine but you’re naive as *.

It’s now on the manager to take him out until he decides he wants to start giving 100% up until January at which point we need to give him what he wants and let him move on.

 

What are you on about? You said he was blatantly getting caught offside? Do you want to flesh that one out?

 

Re-read the post I replied to. I said it was blatant that he didn't try. Quite obvious if you can interpret English.

 

His pressing is way off what it was

I wouldn't accuse him of consciously chucking it but he has already made it clear that he is leaving in January

Let's hope he get's us a few goals between now and getting relegated at Forest but he is already an ex-player in my mind so I'm less inclined to cut him as much slack as I would others

 

I can't go this * man

 

I said he chucked it cause he didn’t play well?

I suggest you try again if you think you’re being clever. Didn’t mention him being * once originally because it goes hand in hand with him not trying 100% or chucking it for lack of a better word.

Just incase I need to spell it out for you. He’s chucked it cause he isn’t happy here, and isn’t happy he didn’t get the move he wanted.
