LORD KATSUMOTO – 8/10 – The supernatural samurai will not be denied. Cast out from his kingdom (the centre forward-spot) by his overlord nemesis (Bradan Rajaz) he still managed to find the net (twice, actually, you MIB devilish sorcerers) and equal a Celtic record held by the greatest of all. Even after being hooked early last week from a losing position and shuffled outside to facilitate Idah this week. Even from the wing. So you play your 30-goal striker regardless. Because he’s scored 30 goals. And he might score again. And he DID. Even if you don’t think so, Brendan. Because you didn’t ever really think so anyway… Not with Kyogo, and now with Daizen. And there’s a pattern there. And it’s disturbing…So Daizen keeps the jersey? Of course… Maybe…Because it’s a meritocracy, right?
SUBS –
TAKINTE – 6/10 – The Kuhn’s been checked-out for a couple of months and his benching was justified. Question is, will he react positively or call it quits for the season because there’s a big summer move lined-up? He’s still got the flair, but does he really care? Fingers croseed.
NOTEBOOK – 6/10 – Some think he’s not totally fit. Well, checkout the big brains on Brads. Course he’s not – he’s been riding camels and smoking shishas and hanging out at debauched oasis jamborees for eighteen months. But he’s still Jota and he’s still a troublesome diamond to deploy on the wing no matter how rough cut he is at the moment.
