    Honestly think the folk moaning about Daizen are doing the guy a massive disservice. He's one of my first names on the team sheet every single week.

    Absolutely vital to how we play - on and off the ball.

    Superb tonight. I don't really see him as a natural winger but his productivity tonight was top drawer.

    Still seems to miss easier chances than he scores but he's always a threat even when he's not in form.

    Has to start Monday...

    Needs to start on Monday. In great form, and Jota is the opposite.

    Best game in a Celtic shirt by some distance.

    He's brimming with confidence now and is finally using his pace to go by defenders. Had their left back on toast the whole game. Maybe Kewell's influence is rubbing off?

    Was absolutely fantastic tonight.

    He 100% starts on Monday. He won't allow Tavernier the space to run into and he'll terrorize him in his own way too.

    His first touch has improved so much.
    WC must have helped him figure that out :)

    Probably his best game for us and that goal was outstanding.

    Weird thing is- after scoring a cracker, he doesn't go nuts in celebration. It's kind of sad. But also, somehow so...Japanese.

    Tbh I was thinking the WC has done a lot for his confidence. That he's been up against some genuinely top players he's realised he can take on and do guys like Wright and Cadden.

    He tormented those world class players, too. So, yeah. He knows what his level is.

    Awesome performance. Just imagine the player we would have if he was a clinical finisher. Missed 2 sitters but went on to be contender for MOM, says a lot about his character.

    Weird how he never really ran with a ball until the last 2 games, also cutting in to shoot for probably the first time ever and scoring. Seems to have changed his game.

    Ok I’ll put it another way. He missed 2 absolute sitters tonight, shocking misses. On another day we potentially drop points. He is not good enough for us.
