    Gotoku picked up a knee injury a few days ago and went to the hospital for a checkup. I doubt he was going to play today regardless.

    Kagawa just caught out totally in defense and also the 3-5-2 weakness showed in a second

    Bad game. Only two silver linings:
    a) Kagawa is in good condition despite a unremarkable season
    b) Nagatomo.

    So guys how satisfied are you with this?

    I think there are few positives

    1. the injured players looked ok and ready
    2. Nagatomo imo best player of JNT
    3. Yamaguchi I think did well and solidly as well

    passing was mostly shit and the two main cultprits imo Honda and Endo, Hiroki Sakai imo looked poor, none of the forwards sealed their place actually they gave the torch to Osako now

    Not good, but a useful assessment of the players. If Honda gets his head screwed back on straight the team could make some noise. Yamaguchi should start one way or another.

    Confirmation : they are tired. Every player ran very little. So don't depress ;)
