    Taking everything into account he’s been brutal. It’s great getting the odd goal through work rate, but he needs to offer more on and off the ball, and he just hasn’t.

    His touch is absurdly bad, people saying he maybe best on wing, * me you need to be able to trap a baw.

    There's being patient mate but sometimes you look at a player and just know.

    Hes not got any technical ability really. Second touch is a tackle. This was something that pretty much every scouting report highlighted about him prior to joining.

    He was top goalscorer in that league probably because he had tonnes of space to run into as his side weren't facing packed, dogged defences. Was my concern when we signed him.

    I'd have giakoumakis over him all day. So far.

    The attackers didn't help it him today but he has to do more. I don't know if its him or how we play in general but the striker is often so isolated.

    Kyogo had that bit of world class movement where he'd get a good chance or two after not being involved for a long time too. We've seen from Giakoumakis and now Maeda though that when the movement isn't as good there's barley any contribution.

    I genuinely thought Maeda would be a physical presence but his pace is barely utilised and he looks very weak in the challenge. Just as weak as Kyogo but without the technical ability to compensate.

    His first touch is woeful, looks like one of these strikers that's ridiculously easy to mark out the game.

    Still yet to see this incredible pace, hasn’t out ran a soul yet. Pressed on his debut but that’s been it really. Need Kyogo back he’s key to the press even GG presses more than Maeda.

    Got absolutely zero service. But sometimes a striker needs to do it himself and he seems a bit hopeless

    Maybe he won't sign the contract in the summer?
