On the other hand, I didn't see the match but it sounds like Inui's work rate is pretty good these days: http://liveticker.bundesliga.de/de/co12/se15388/md2/#ma2226782,n1,c1 11.12km run 35 sprints (most in the game, 2nd on team was Piazon with 25) 88 "intensive runs" (most in the game)
Both out, Hasebe at half time (supposedly for being in danger of a red card), Inui in min 56 when Eintracht already fell back. Augsburg dominating and with plenty good chances since half time, Hasebe being sorely missed.
encouraging performance today, the usual lack of accuracy and bad decisions were still there, but he had some really bright moments and excellent dribbles and nutmegs.
I'm not sure, I think he's done a lot of things I had never seen him do in his first 2 seasons. Lack of accuracy may be a problem of his but it's also the result of playing in a league where the pressure is a lot higher than the Jleague
No really, I don't pest against lost balls in tough situations, but I do when he can obviously do better. He was much better the first year and let's not talk about his Cerezo days, it's day and night.
what's that supposed to mean? I don't get it. It doesn't matter if you're Cristiano Ronaldo in the Jleague, it makes zero sense to compare what Inui was doing in Cerezo and what he is doing now. Doing *everything* in the Bundesliga is harder. You have less time to shoot. Less time to think. You play against better defenders and a simple dribbling becomes harder. I'd agree if he was missing sitters all day but he isn't. I can agree that Inui looked better in his first two years in Germany, but if the argument moves to comparing players to how they performed in the Jleague then it's a no for me. It's often a skewed perception.
