Daizen Maeda

Ah mate I'm just moaning like a miserable * cause he's done me out of a couple of slips for readies at the end there..

His finishing has been * poor the whole time though. Especially chances like that where he's taken a touch..

I don't know if he's got that composure in him either. Think he will improve but no there much unfortunately, but still be effective for us overall..

 

His finishing has been but he’s also scored a fair amount in his first season in a different continent never mind league. Kyogo has been similar with his finishing at times as well, but in an opposite way. He’s composed as * but can miss the instinctive ones. But he done the instinct ones in Europe start of the season, and the two against Hibs in the cup final. But both could have about 20 odd goals or more easily, if they took the chances.

Both are still adapting though. Giakoumakis done the same, first 6 months we had no idea how much an instinctively finisher he would be.

 

His movement is good and his running and pressing means he'll always get chances..

He's scored a fair few sitters, headers and tap ins. Can't remember too many difficult one's on the deck but that's a good knack of being in the right place at the right time..

He's missed so many chances though and quite often looked technically awful when he's had to take a touch and finish/a bit of time to place it..

Needs to seriously improve there as if he can, what an asset he'll be....as he's already a big asset in other way's..

 

I like that he can improve though, there’s more in him that can be coached out. Same with Kyogo, same with Juranovic and a couple others for me.

and Ange will make sure he’ll coach that into them. This is far from the end product for the guys that have been here this year. There’s a lot of raw talent, but there’s a lot more that can be got out of them. And I can’t see Ange letting them just stay at what they are right now, he’ll demand improvement at every level.

The tap ins and headers is down to him btw, he always makes sure he’s got the run on others to be in the place to get the tap in or free header

 

Not being talked about enough, but he got 3 assists today. What a player he is.

 

He was brilliant today

 

Put two on a plate for Giakoumakis in almost identical circumstances.

Can’t wait to see him, Hatate and Kyogo after a rest and a proper pre-season with Ange.

 

His controls getting better aswel. Taking the ball nice, delivering it better. Still has that thing where he sees the goal, and just * it somehow however everything else is improving and once that calmness comes he'll score a barrel load. Got to remember he's alot younger than kyogo. Mental.

 

Welcome to celtic on a permanent.. Daizan.

 

Two assists today and I don’t think he was a particular stand out. Guys a machine.

 

3 assists, Jota's, Turnbull's and one of GG's

He's a quality lplayer, if he can improve his finished about 5% he'll score a barrel load

 

Didn’t even think of Turnbull’s, class man

 

I love him.

 

Love wee Daizen, his attitude is exactly what you want to see from a Celtic player. He may not be a natural finisher but he will score his fair share. He is excellent at providing assists and got another 3 today. Cant wait to see more of him next season, i dont think we've seen the best of him yet.

 

He doesn't look like much of a party animal, during the celebrations haha. He comes across as quite reserved.

 

Even if his finishing doesn't improve, he could be converted to a wing back. His stamina and work rate are already legendary, and while his first touch and shooting suck right now, he can dribble past players- I've seen a few nifty moves from him.

 

Can’t wait to watch him once he gets fit

 

The Japanese are very polite people!

Kyogo bows his head to the fans and Ange. Part of their culture.

The guys need to know, that the pleasure is all ours Maeda. I bow my head to them! An honour to have the Japanese warriors at Parkhead!
