YING – 8/10 MOTM – And there it is! Concrete proof measured by the Jamesy Scale that the Korean Messi is… Eh, ‘dining at the Y’. A couple of tremendous finishes allied to his work-rate make him a potent weapon when he’s not charging around with blue baws. Was the surprise difference maker today when I expected he’d be expending energy closing them down for 90 minutes. Now, if there was only a way we could ensure his committed, 100% engaged participation to the absolute end of the season…Jamesy, need a wingman?
LORD KATSUMOTO – 7/10 – From the 17th minute when he turned in the centre circle with a delicate, uplifting back-heeled turn and charge down their throats, I knew Daizen’s touch was in and he was going to be instrumental. And he put in a Maeda classic of a 90 minutes – tireless until he dropped, combative and hungry; deserved a goal himself, but won that crucial penalty. Maybe eleven games to go as a Celt. Mr.201 could go out a double-winning hero. And who’d bet against him if he’s finally found the Daizen form we know?
TUTANKHAMUN – 4/10 – The only let-down today. Another Mikey J promising opening comes to nothing as he gets overwhelmed by prowess and appetite. Ended up chasing fruitlessly as they picked him off too often and
countered. And he doesn’t possess Yang’s defensive capabilities. Rightly hooked at Half-time, regardless of injury.
