    I'm happy enough with that, his form dropped off near the end of the season, but he was excellent after the world cup.

    He's at the point where he's underrated by our support imo. Obviously not as good as Jota but he's still a solid player who'll contribute lots over the season, also means there's obviously harmony in the squad despite Ange leaving.

    Great news again, another one I was concerned that with Ange leaving, he might have considered wanting to go elsewhere.

    I am absolutely buzzing with that, one of my favourite players. Love the *.

    Happy with this, he has excellent attributes and a nightmare to play against..

    Think he'll be the perfect squad player under BR.

    Happy with this……He can be frustrating at times, but overall his positives vastly outweighs the negatives.

    It's about time he got the recognition he deserves. He was a regular starter under Ange, yet most posters think he isn't good enough to start. Seems like Rodgers rates him highly as well.

    Excellent in Ange's system but not convinced he'll suit Rodgers. Will reserve an opinion on this for now.

    Think he’ll be a very good squad player. Needed some quality on the bench and he will do just fine. We know if we have injuries or need a sub he can step in and deliver.

    Good stuff. More than capable player that takes an unfair amount of criticism from some of our fanbase.

    He wont be a main starter under Rodgers but he’ll be a very good squad player plus his versatility across the front 3 is handy. Plus he’s only 25 so not even reached his best yet.

    It’ll be interesting to see how different players adjust to a slightly different system, but I actually think Maeda could thrive under Rodgers.

    The frustrating part with Maeda under Ange was always how easily he’d get down the side of a defender then struggle to deliver the final ball with his left foot. Under Rodgers’ though, I’d expect there to be more occasions where a left back is in support of Maeda and opening up the “half space” between full back and centre back for him to attack and I really think he could reap the rewards of that.
