Daizen Maeda

Poison today but he wasn't alone

 

I don't even understand why we didn't change to 2 up top instead of sticking him right wing where I've never seen him have a good 5 minutes there..

Could've had Yang operating just off them..

He was that * though that it probably wouldn't of mattered..

 

I mean, I've seen worse players play for us but none that got as much time on the pitch as this buffoon.

 

We had forrest sitting on the bench too which makes it all the more baffling Maeda got 90 minutes despite being utter *.

He should have been off long before it but the second he shanked that ball 50 yards away from where he wanted to hit it despite finally having the freedom of their park he should have been whipped off.

 

That ball he tried to play when we were on the break in the second half sums him up.

 

I really thought Rodgers returning and his love of creative wingers would have been the end of this * diddy being a starter but here he * is still just running about stupid like my dug down the park.

I get losing Jota has * us a bit but there has been plenty of time to find someone better than him.

Should never be a starting forward at a team like celtic

 

Makes that Sakala look like Neymar.

 

Its hard to watch but we have seen it too many times now. He is too technically erratic and i dont think he can be trusted at times domestically let alone in europe.

Im a huge fan of his work ethic and attitude but im not even sure if our own players know what to expect from him sometimes.

 

I agree, a very poor player. Never ever ever a No.9. He has no touch, no vision, no passing ability and can’t link the play. Also no teams leaves spaces behind the back 5 for him to run into, before he blooters it out for a throw in.

 

Squad player, not a starter.

 

played great up front pre season ,rodgers says he sees him as a striker ,then plays him on the wing

 

He's a back up for kyogo as soon as we hopefully get podence in. Yang will be the back up for podence.

Haksa, needs shipped. Abada not always a starter need a proper right wing, even Ryan Fraser if he plays there if our options are limited.

Kobayashi, tomoki and Kwon I think are duds, or not an improvement on what we have.

Tilio probably a development.

We need a star signing on a Kyogo/Jota level.

 

Him & Abada both need upgraded on imo. Our midfield is so far off being good enough for Europe & is clearly struggling domestically as well.

 

Always gonna be the same with him. Games like today highlight how one dimensional he is. Terrific worker but him and Abada as our wingers is torture at times. The least creative wide players we've probably had in our history lol

 

Pre season confirmed he is a decent back-up option as a ST and at a push, he can come on as a winger when we are defending / protecting a lead.

If there was one moment that sums him up it was yesterday when we got the break of the ball on our 18 yard box with loads of space for a counter and he attempts a World Cup pass that ends up right in their GK hands due to his inability.

 

Don’t know what was worse that heavy touch that took him from the penalty spot to the corner flag or when we finally had space to break into he punted it upto their goalie.

 

The punt to the goalie for me, the heavy touch at least came off a deflection.

The punt up the park was the one time in the game he really got the opportunity to do one of the few things he is good at and carry the ball at pace with space in front of him.

I genuinely don’t know why you then opt to try and play a low percentage long ball when the far better option was to drive forward and either get in on goal or play in Yang at that point. It just showed shockingly poor decision making and probably a real lack of self belief.
