    He scored a hat trick against fenerbache in Europe for his previous side. So I'm not sure he's too slow.

    Again he looked like our only hope for a goal at times. But was also poor. Like everyone else.

    Tbf to him the entire performance in both legs was slow, but it was something that stood out in both games. I don't know if that's because he's still settling in to our style of play, or because he's generally slow. Definitely isn't a pacey player.

    I wont slam many players in all honesty except the obvious ones such as Idah and Yang and Hatate. Every single player over these two legs was complete * dogshit.

    Its a more deeply rooted problem.

    If he squares that ball to McCowan I reckon he scores.
    Did exactly the same in previous game (weekend?) Tried to shoot when the square pass was the clearly obvious better option.
    I still think he'll be a far better option than Engels.

    Genuinely should be playing him at ST. He’s played there before.

    we see how Rodgers wants the strikers to play dropping in and helping build up play. Maeda coming deep is a travesty. Nygren would actually be perfect there and he doesn’t have to defend (which he can’t)
