 Giants

 

:bad: :bad:

the rest was very good though thanks for the link

Prove the doubters wrong today little maestro, I have faith

cant wait to see him in action

he has impressed me so far, plenty of promising play, a few missed passes, gave away the ball once or twice but still looks good

deadset the guy is Sotirio with more experience and less passing skills.

Edit: which is good. looks an exciting player.

Good lad

Jumpei's instructions should be just run, beat a man or two, then pass the ball. Nothing more, nothing less. His shot seems to be a bit temperamental, and he tends to lose the ball the longer he holds on to it. Can be a great player for us, if used correctly.

His shot is more a back pass to the goal keeper. The polar opposite to Castelen.

The one that went sky high? :-)

You're stubborn man FCB

How many nutmegs is he on now? 3? Lol

I like him more than Castelen. So far it's the same end product, but at least he moves intelligently. The only time Castelen seemed to be taking any notice of the game was when he might receive the ball. I loved me some Castelen but he was a frustrating mofo.

Yeah yeah.

Castelen was doubled and trippled because he was the guy who could make a difference. He was also frustrating as ****. I don't see a player yet in Jumpei who needs to be doubled and trippled.

I am more inclined to join the Jumpei jubilation society once I see him delivering something. The Reds are going through a similar process as us. They were knackered in the end, they were not a true measure. Let's wait until Rd 6 in Melbourne, shall we?

His late Ono like chip kick shot was delicious and I think he will score a few on top of his man beating abilities.

A bit too early to say. He definitely can go past players, he can read the game but not sure if he is strong enough.

He already seems to be combining with Mitch ok hopefully that will only get better.

The Nico Jumpei Mitch combination to set up our second goal was quite sexual

He is class, some great combinations and is only going to get better. His touch and close control is sublime. 

Three nominations in A-league team of the week.

But here's the most ringing endorsement

its amazing what a month or two can do to a player in football hey.

Took him until the 90th minute to get in behind the defence. He looks shot and is half the player he started out the season as

He is a bad rutt at the moment. Will need to lift his game the closer we get to the Champions league

C'mon how can you stay mad at him?

I am sure he is a lovely chap, but keep hold of the damn ball mutherfudger. And then numbnuts, pass it accurately.

Otherwise, sure he's ace....

I'd totally love to be wrong

Show me the Jumpei that played the opening game of the season.

He was exciting to watch against the Smurfs and clearly has the ability to take on players but has lacked any positive forward movement since the 4-1 CCM away win.

Maybe Popa has given a set of instructions which he hasn't been able to adapt to however I feel like he might show his true ability in the ACL games.

I doubt it

Decent player. Lacks the physicality the a league is known for.

9/10 times gets pushed off the ball.

the other 1/10 he gently gets guided across the line to give away a goal kick.

10/10 would sign again.
