    Maybe James Milner at 33, cos I’ve never seen a grafter in his 30’s like Maeda. Except maybe him.

    Of the 3, Maeda had the better game for me.

    A wing back perhaps, but Ange wont go 3 at the back right now.

    I would start him in Europe, we need his workrate. And that would free up Jota to his natural position, so much better on the left.

    Haska was better, he was dangerous as * when he was on, set up a goal, and won a lot of fouls high up the pitch when there wasn’t any options for the pass.

    But Maeda was a big reason about us dominating the 2nd half, because he got a grip on the ball going to Mudryk, and would be covering and doubling up when he didn’t stop the ball going to him.

    He started going into the middle of the pitch to try and get any space.

    He's such a good and usefull player, but i would use him as sub, or in games where we need to take control of the possession again. Abada is a much more lethal attacking option.

    I'm getting * sick of him..

    His finishing is beyond embarrassing and his passing, first touch and link up play are getting just as bad..

    Aye he runs all day and presses....has his uses without a doubt....but needs benched..

    Guy is getting worse instead of better. Pathetic showing so far.

    My dug runs all day and chases the ball like * but he'd no get a start for celtic.

    Most of his running is chasing his awful 1st touch

    Shouldn't start games anymore, perfect as a rotation option, but his lack of creativity cost us big time in the first half.

    He’s just a pretty poor player.

    Misses sitters constantly, no composure on the ball, link up non existent. You’ll struggle to find a technically poorer winger at a club of our size.

    Starting Maeda in these types of games is utterly pointless. You may as well ask one of us to play and the outcome will be the same

    He's a squad player and that's it.

    Again I don't think today was needed to confirm that.

    Better for us in games where we're up against it v better sides. His running is useful then but when the onus is on us to break down teams it's just not his game. There's not enough quality.

    He is fast and has great stamina and that's a about it.

    Everything else is * level.

    An energiser bunny with the touch of a rapist. Must work on it daily but never improves. Sad as there is a player in there but not if he cant control a shopping cart in a supermarket
