Daizen Maeda

Surely forrest will be back so we don't need to suffer yang

 

OK well we'll see how it pans out, I say he'll get plenty minutes at centre forward and will keep on battering in goals. And we'll all be * delirious in May when we land another treble

 

Big schlupp to the rescue. Need to get him a song.

 

Fingers crossed. His goals return this season has been fantastic.

 

Fair enough, I thought he was always generally a winger for us.

But even so, is there not a reason he’s a winger now as opposed to a striker? If that was his first position why wasn’t he kept there?

I’m not saying he can’t play there whatsoever. But it’s not where he’s at his most effective

 

A large amount of his goals are ones you’d expect of a striker rather than a traditional winger where he’ll beat a man cut in and shoot, plus with Jota coming back it means we aren’t weakened if and when Maeda does go through the middle.

 

Kuhn-------Maeda-------Jota

 

Needs to keep up his level of goals and assists. Going to be run into the ground over the next few months, all across the front line.

Interested to see how often he’ll play through the middle.

 

He's having his most productive season from the wing, he's nailed it..

Would rather he remained out there..

Will be interesting to see what he does centrally, think he would love it v The Huns.. but against a we'll organised low block, can't see him being effective at all..

 

Centrally he’d score buckets imo. Would stuggle a bit against the low block at times but so did Kyogo. One thing they both have is great movement and a knack of being in the right place at the right time. Kyogo is just technically better on the ball and a better finisher. But Maedas improved a lot under Rodgers and can only see him getting better. His goals used to always be scaffs and balls hitting of him and going in but now he has some great goals under his belt.

 

Honestly there’s not much in it between their finishing to be honest. A couple seasons ago Kyogo was miles clear but come the end Kyogo was missing far more than he was scoring. Don’t get me wrong some of Kyogos goals were class but he also missed some absolute * sitters, particularly the last 18 months.
