    He looks like he's back to the dug chasing a wasp version of himself that so often balloons balls in to the car park

    Our system doesn’t suit him playing through the middle. That’s a failure of recruitment.

    He thrived up front playing with Kühn and Jota, who created space by cutting in and constantly needing to be marked.

    Our wingers at the moment are incredibly isolated and carry no threat, which allows other teams to easily nullify Maeda.

    Thought he looked good when Shin came on and they were pressing together, but that’s about all he did all game.

    This is it.

    Every single issue in our lax displays since the season start are down us having no quality in attack. We are utterly toothless there.

    Balikwisha will need time obviously before we can properly judge but Nygren, Yang, Forrest, Idah etc are not the quality we need here.

    Made a couple of crucial tackles, not sure how that can be interpreted as uninterested.

    Needs to stop dropping deal and running away in towards the halfway line, all he does when doing that is risk giving the ball away and getting us countered, or he does those mad pings out wide where hes not got a clue where anycunt is anyway.#

    Probably Rodgers fault though.

    He has been unbelievably bad this season. Loses possession constantly .

    If Bowie comes in with Dolberg and we sign the left winger from Sweden then he could be offski tomorrow..

    An absolute shadow of last season, but perhaps more like the player we had when he arrived.
    Not giving 100% either.

    Looks a player low on confidence. Needs creative players around him to thrive.

    Did little or nothing going forward but certainly his work rate was there and he made a number of key defensive tackles and tracked back well. So certainly played his part in us being solid from a defensive stand point.

    He did look slightly better when shin came on with both of them pressing but yeah he’s miles of it atm, hopefully he improves when the window shuts and gets a haircut.

    What's he meant to do at times, when the mf had no energy and he was the only one putting challenges in?


    He'll improve, if the others start pulling their own weight.

    Would happily let him go tomorrow. If we get Dolberg and a winger then why not.
