    It also shouldn’t be overlooked, he has already played a full season in Japan before joining us.

    He’s the key player tomorrow, will play more than one position and will lead the effort from the front.

    Is in form and is confident, fancy him for at least a goal.

    Love his pressing. It's unreal and panicked them all day..

    His quality on the ball though..

    Crosses 50 yards in the air under no pressure and trying some mental skills to score a goal outside the box that was begging to be laced with the left..

    He's never a striker for me, needs to be out on the wings 100%.

    I wouldn't have brought him off tbh, Jota should have came off before him, and to replace him with Forrest, an exact opposite player? Disappointing.

    Think he was knackered. The last 10/15 minutes he was on, he barely broke into a jog never mind sprint.

    One of the biggest reasons we fell away. His pressing was irreplaceable.

    Ange didn't have much choice, so I won't blame him for it, but we essentially replaced him with a player that's far slower and does zero pressing.

    So, so evident this squad isn't finished.

    Watch their first goal, see who it was closing down players in the left back position.

    Hes not a striker.

    I worried seeing him through the middle.

    Never a striker in a million years. Offers so little as an attacking threat when played through the middle

    He’s the man for Tavenier. Has to play out left next one around against the scum

    I don't get what you mean mate? Why should Maeda be tracking back chasing players at our own corner flag

    Not the man for up front. We were unfortunate that both strikers were either hurt or not ready. Maeda is OK in an emergency but in the really big games it badly affects us. He is far more effective on the left.

    Agreed that he’s not a striker. Very useful player to have on the left of a 3, but not cut out to be the focal point of an attack against a decent side.

    Kyogo. A phenomenon
    What a miss GG was.

    Maeda has his place in the squad without question, but not solo up front.

    It’s also pleasant to be able to say and see how much value GG brings.

    Best coming from the wing, tbh kyogo i aint confident of going in againat them to up top, hes done nothing against them, prefer a physical presence.

    Theyre better on wing or maybe alongside.

    I'm not sure what your first post was about.

    Who was tracking for their goal?
