    We look so much better in midfield with him there and McGregor further forward.

    Another one who should keep his place.

    I think we've found our midfield three. Iwata has been unreal last two games. Confident, comfortable and spreading the ball about like a prime Xavi.

    He made a huge difference for us tonight. What really stands out for me is his composure.

    He’s a quality player. I think with him, McGregor, O’Riley, Hatate and Bernardo we’ve got plenty of very good midfield options. Let’s us focus on forward and defensive recruitments in the summer

    Always where he needs to be, never wastes a touch, strong on and off the ball and has a great knack of nipping opposition attacks in the bud.

    He’s exactly what we needed at exactly the right time.

    He's happy to keep things ticking over and being tidy allowing McGregor and O'Reilly to affect the game further forward.

    Starting to see why he was the J-League player of the year. Great positioning, good composure and can make an impact on games despite keeping everything so simple.

    Absolutely strolled it, seeing why he was poty in Japan before joing us.

    Makes it look effortless.

    Really like what he brings to the team all round. Strong. Reads the game well. Doesn't waste the ball.

    Love it.

    What a player man. Was class again today tidied up so much. What I also like about him is even his fouls are smart, he stops teams breaking forward with momentum with a smart foul at the right time. Some great tackles and interceptions again. Think he’s definitely what we need there going forward

    Great again. Exactly what we've needed in that position this season.

    A proper CDM … starts every game now for me, that was our best midfield out there tonight imo.
