Daizen Maeda

Imagine him and Agathe in the same team?

 

Some of his 'finishes' are so bad you have to laugh..

That one he side footed past the post has been a common themed miss of his since he came in the door. Was harder to miss..

Running down blind alleys and straight in fouling them. My word..

 

He had that purple patch after the world Cup where he looked really good, but since his injury he's been woeful.

Solid player to have as a backup/rotation option, but shouldn't be first choice for us next year.

 

No sure if it's a mentality thing but looks very relaxed now the league is won.

 

Played like he had a pair of doc martens on.

He really gets on my *.

Aw much as I do love the guy.

 

He's a cult hero type of player.

But he's got serious limitations on the ball.

Off it he's excellent.

 

He does need to work on his final product, if he had marginally better finishing he'd score a lot of goals, he does miss to many like that today

 

I think hed make a crackin lb, maybe im crazy.

 

Think he needs to be upgraded and made into a super sub

 

Wingback in a 3-5-2 maybe, not in our inverted system, I love the guy but he's not good enough technically on the ball for the lb role as we play it.

 

He’s *. Sorry.

 

Hopeless. Utterly Hopeless.

 

Cult hero and crazy work ethic but his lack of quality on the ball is frightening at times.

I understand what he brings to us defensively but does it make up for his inability to dribble, hit a decent cross and score goals? He was looking better after the World Cup but any semi-competent defender will deal with Maeda very, very easily. He doesn't have enough in his locker.

Beginning to feel like he's Ange's blind spot. He's so poor in possession and that will get highlighted in Europe (again) next season. We want to be a European side but having wingers that can't beat a man or complete a 5 yard pass (Maeda; Abada) will get us absolutely nowhere. I can promise you that.

 

Don't apologise, he's gash. Even his big attribute, work ethic , is mostly pointless due to the fact his press is so easily negated by a simple side step or drop of the shoulder. When he does get close to an opponent his tackling usually proves every bit as poor as his crossing, finishing and basic control.

Would probably be a decent player for some other Premiership team but never Celtic class in a million years.

 

Workhorse and that's about it. We do need better for the Champions League.
Sentiment is not enough to keep a player in the team. Ditto for Hart.
You can see where we need to swing the axe this summer.
Seven first team players oven ready in the summer.

 

A team that has upwards of 70% of the ball shouldn't be picking 1 of our front 3 based on what he brings to us defensively or his work rate.

Said the same thing during or after every home game this season..... He shouldn't be starting games at home for us as he brings so little in an attacking or creative sense.

 

what a * player he would be if he had any kind of first touch or ball control, all he has is pace.
