    I thought he did OK, but he simply doesn't give you what Maeda does. Not many do. It was clear we looked more dangerous after the switch.

    Maeda gave us more and allowed us to get in their face a lot more
    We don't get that last 15-20min fight if Idah was on.

    But that's because of the style difference, not because idah was poor.

    Think he done well. He read the game well and showed good strength. When Engels or Hatate got forward too much, he was happy to drop back and cover the spaces needed.
    He's working well with the squad.

    Hes great against teams where we have the ball. However meada is just world class imo. Utter top level, so I can't blame him for not being at that level yet. Still he had some very nice lay offs. If he just stayed onside man the game would have been so different.

    I....just can't take to Idah at all.

    Zero energy from the big man. Hatate was pressing for him most of the first half.

    I thought be was ok but there was a chance in the first half where Engels cut it back to him and he didn’t show anywhere near enough desire to get into the box.

    I’d probably start Maeda centrally next week.

    Thought he put in a shift, was always gonna be a tough night for him and the full team.

    Tough to judge him too harshly on 60 odd minutes where we barely got a touch of the ball and he was feeding off literal scraps. Maeda through the middle is probably the better option for the time being though, and I think signing Jota over another striker means Rodgers thinks the same.

    Lived off scraps, held it up as best he could.

    Won us 2 corners we didn't get..

    Thought he did quite well holding the ball up, he'll definitely learn from this campaign..

    Would start Maeda through the middle on Tuesday tho
