Ex-Player: Takumi MINAMINO

He played well yesterday, swallow doesn’t make a summer and all that but I assume he will be involved in the rotation over Xmas and new year.

So what’s the deal with this guy??? I’m genuinely puzzled. Had a decent game against Palace and not to be seen since.

I assume he will play tomorrow if we actually play

He’s crap. That’s the deal.

Can’t we leave shite like this on Facebook and Twitter?

OK. Sorry my mistake. He’s magnificent and has set the place on fire. Klopp is blind. Taki is the answer.
Seriously, he seems a really nice guy, puts in lots of effort, works his socks off but it doesn’t change the fact that he is crap.

In a recent interview, Lewandowski stated that when he arrived at dortmund he was trying to hard to do everything quickly. Until Jurgen taught him to slow down, once he had learned to slow down and taken an extra touch if needed rather than rushing, then Jurgen pushed him to speed back up again. His words were “he slowed me down to speed me back up again, it was genius.”
Now i’m not saying Taki is on the level of Lewandowski, not even close but it seems the same principles need applying here. Taki is trying so hard that he’s doing everything at a million miles an hour, sometimes just needs to slow it down and evaluate everything around him rather than just rushing aimlessly. He’s with exactly the right coach to bring the best out of him eventually.

Well, that’s great but I think the starting point for Taki is learning how to trap a ball.

Most of the time he receives the ball he is already on the half turn trying to push forward quickly. While the idea is right, his timing has been off. He just seems too eager to me atm, reminds me of a waiter in a restaurant that tries too hard to please and entertain his guests, trying to do tricks with glasses and ends up spilling them, when really all the guests want is to eat and be left alone.

Good move for him if it comes off. One thing he has shown in his performances for us is a lot of energy, and Hassenhuttl certainly likes that.

We said no to Neco loan but it looks like Minamino is going there instead, also solves the European squad problem.

No no no no no!

Assaulting our lads all over the pitch a few weeks ago. Fuck 'em.

Good idea if it’s true I reckon. He’s not going to get the game time with us anytime soon by the look of it.

I’m sick of Southampton poaching our players😉

This is on Sky Sports now, looks like it’s happening

With the 2 new signings his place on the bench would be under threat so this is a good move for him, hopefully he gets played.

Fingers crossed, I’d like to see him get a decent run with Saints, and come back the stronger for it next season. I still think he has a place in the squad.
