Takehiro Tomiyasu

I actually didn’t see it honestly. Thought I was being original. :grin: old guys do this a lot you know.

Ohhh, thank you for persisting with me, I genuinely didn’t understand that you hadn’t seen it. That makes sense. I dunno what everyone else’s excuse is though :grin:

Absolute bargain. Can only wonder what his value would have been if he had some hype(justified) behind him

I think he’s been my favourite signing of the summer, and I think we did really well with the other recruits too.

I think he’s been transformative in this team. Completely opens up the right channel for us when most of our moves for the last two years have been forcefully on the left. I don’t think we get the same results if Cedric had the RB minutes this season.

He defends and attacks beautifully. I said he looked like a converted CB before but I never quite realised his 2 footedness, and the quality of his short passing. Happily take that back and you can shove it up my arse and all.

He’s an absolute unit too. So good in 1v1s, like elite level defender in duels.

What a tremendous purchase. Edu / Arteta fucking smashed the recruitment in the summer.

Very underrated in that regard in my book. Will only get better too. Very tidy on the ball

Ben tells the truth.

Unlike Big Ben (or is it fixed now? :sweat_smile:)

He may not watch football but he certainly understands it. :rofl:

I’d like to imagine White giving that interview to DAZN Japan in flawless Japanese.

Defensive stats are kind of shit but this still seems impressive and is pretty much backing what the eye test suggests.

Been proper slippy down that side of the pitch even Pool players been slipping up

He’s not fit enough that’s clear as day. And with Cedric out injured, Tomiyasu has been rushed back

I won’t blame him. He’s been out for two weeks, probably came back into training yesterday or the day before. In an ordinary situation he would never have started.

A few of my Liverpool mates are taking the piss out of him, so I can only assume he has been terrible.

yeah not good

Let’s just say almost every touch/involvement of his hasn’t gone very well. :grimacing:
