    Glad he got a wee rest today. Japan 5-0 up with a few minutes remaining.

    Mixed bag today. Put a few good balls in. I feel like everytime he moves inside he loses it though.

    Worked hard as always though

    Games like today are why I still have doubts over him.

    If we are truing to break a side down or he is being relied on to dribble and cross it consistently then he's not the one.

    Still created some decent chances but we really need another winger in January to mix things up. We haven't replaced Jota yet. Need to try.

    He's always going to frustrate. I personally don't love having a winger who's unable to cut in and get a shot off (that hibs goal aside). As I said above it feels like anytime he dribbles inside he loses it

    His skillset is undeniable though, he's had a good start to the season overall.

    When teams are prepared to sit in he doesn't have the technical ability to take a man on..he's so dangerous when teams are prepared to open up.

    I still feel that even when he's going on the outside he doesn't often look comfortable crossing it. I think the fact he was coming in as often shows that he was feeling uncomfortable truing to break them down today.

    Felt like Palma as soon as he came on made a few penetrative passes that maeda would have struggled to.

    Ideally get a hybrid of Maeda and Jota...shouldn't be hard....

    Aye he didn't really link well with any runners, he was frustrating.

    Palma was too actually but definitely more creative

    Yep, I think we have to give them the benefit of the doubt as they've all (bar Palma) had pretty good starts to the season.

    Wouldn't have started all three of them with that in mind, though, but that isn't on the players.

    Aye but that doesn't influence his usefulness at times in games like yesterday.

    I've came round to liking him a lot more but we 1000% need 2x wingers to come into this squad. 2 at least going out, in Yang and Palma.

    There's a lack of flair, there.
