Is it just me, or are Asano and Maeda in direct competition for the "utilizing their speed to be in the right place, but can't finish" candidates...
I thought he was doing fine and had scored like 8 goals. I guess the manager just has to try something different if they keep losing.
Really good save by the keeper too!
Nice pass to start the play off!
Very fitting - Class move by the club for a class player.
Looked like he was offside on that one? Good for him for bagging another one though.
As a fan of him it's unfortuante for him to get goals called off, but I also recognize that they were merely enforcing the rules and they were...
Excited to see what league/team he ends up next!
Hope this leads him to be able to play again in a top league in Europe.
Hope he has a good first match.
Hasebe vibes.
I whole heartedly agree that 5 years ago likely very few of us expected their career paths to cross over like it has. I don't want to change this...
What's the other Shinji up to these days?
I'm not against letting the old man rest. It's a long season.
I agree that he seems taller than what he's listed as. Though I do think his skinny figure adds to his lanky vibe.
I wonder if he'll go play in a better league soon, or if this is it.
I'm just happy every time this guy gets to start. It's a testament to his dedication and professionalism when he's starting in a top 4 league...
I feel like his window of opportunities are going to start closing unless he puts up some numbers real soon.
He's turning out to be Mr. Consistency. Does his job day in and day out. Different type of player, but Hasebe's been doing it for a long time....
I read he hit the cross bar in the loss to Arsenal in the EFL Cup match yesterday. Too bad he couldn't capitalize.
Hope his test results come back COVID-free!
Not surprising, as he hasn't played a match since December 2019.
I hope so. Otherwise his European prospects look grim. He just simply needs goals and to put up numbers. Doesn't matter as much how he gets them....
Great. Get this guy some much needed playing time.
I guess soon to be joined by Muto.
