Daizen Maeda

He was stretching his hamstring for the last 20 mins. Was badly hobbling and could barely move just before the chance came to him.

Not excusing the miss but don't he surprised to find out hes injured.

 

He was injured to be fair near the end, he was limping about for about 10 minutes before he even had that chance. Don't know what happened to him, maybe someone stood on his foot or gave him a dunt but he was basically useless the last 10-15 minutes yet Scales and Trusty kept coming down the left.

Game was a * shambles

 

Can’t really blame him being annoyed at the fact he scored 30 goals last season and got pushed back out wide because of big donkey Idah. Plus his head has definitely been turned, he might still go but zero chance he’ll get replaced properly.

 

I dont buy the idea that his mind is elsewhere, I dont think he's that type of player.

It wont help that after his form last season, he's been shifted back to LW. Granted his form did drop off near the end of last season, but the lack of consistency up front won't help.

Still, he has to bury those chances. The one against Aberdeen cost us the cup, the one tonight could cost us CL football.

I think this is his last season either way, hopefully he picks up form again and hopefully its sooner rather than later.

 

I thought he was largely * tonight he looks like he is playing within himself

 

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he is sold before the transfer window closes particularly if we fail to win next Tuesday.

 

We got a corner not long after Shin came on and while we were getting set up to take it he was leaning on the goal post stretching. Hopefully just cramp but very unlike him if it is

 

His best form last season came on the left wing.

 

He'll not start at ibrokes on the 31st imo, he'll have been sold by then.

 

If he keeps playing like this we won’t be able to sell him.

He’s never an out and out striker. Never seen a player pass so many 1v1’s to the keeper.

 

Worst player on the park last night for me. Kept hugging the touchline when he had so many chances to make a diagonal run in behind. Calmac and KT both had a go at him for it. The exact run Yang made straight after coming on that got us in behind. The attempt at the end was embarrassing.

 

I don't buy the "his head is elsewhere stuff".

He's just been *.

 

If he doesn't want to be here he's useless to us anyway. His whole game is built on giving 100 percent and he's not been giving that.

 

Sick if his half-arsed finishing Huns away, Cup Final and last night. Frustrating as *.

 

First touch just bounces of him. You just knew he was never scoring that chance at the end too.

 

He is gone regardless of outcome. Playing like it also.

 

Been very poor this season so far which is highlighted even more as he has become a player we rely on.

He has reverted to the Daizen that we had early in anges reign and we never relied on him nearly as much back then...our teams degraded to the point if he plays bad we have almost no one else to step up.
