Golac's Iron Gonads Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 Much maligned on this site, but I like the fella. Good attitude, never a problem wherever he's asked to play, head doesn't go down brings in the occasional Japanese cutie. He'd have to do something bloody spectacular to make the banner, but he's one of my favourites at Saints. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/maya-yoshida-interview-unfortunately-some-japanese-players-are-lazy-10107108.html
red&white56 Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 A good article and very interesting to read about his motivation to succeed. He has developed and improved while at Saints.
whelk Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 Good interview that. Think I have always liked him more than most fans. So glad he got a new deal and well deserved for being excellent cover this season.
niceandfriendly Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 Is he much maligned on here? There are often threads about how good he has been this season.
Noodles34 Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 Good interview that. Think I have always liked him more than most fans. So glad he got a new deal and well deserved for being excellent cover this season. you have obviously canvassed opinion of 'most' fans then, or is just the 0.03% on here?
whelk Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 you have obviously canvassed opinion of 'most' fans then, or is just the 0.03% on here? You don't need to canvas thick boy - people pots opinions. Leave for you to go back and check.
whelk Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 Is he much maligned on here? There are often threads about how good he has been this season. Not now obviously as people are rightfully appreciating him. Many have in the past.
Batman Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 Not now obviously as people are rightfully appreciating him. Many have in the past. but many of his performances in the past were not very good.
whelk Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 but many of his performances in the past were not very good. Been discussed in past but he is often dodgy when has odd game. When gets a run he is far more solid, A very good CB cover really and happy to be here.
austsaint Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 I do remember many on here saying Jos H. was a better CB !! Yoshida has been mostly a very decent performer from day 1 and has definitely lifted a notch this season.
cellone Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 Well I like him more than GIG and Whelk Fact. Even his dad thinks less of him than I do.
doddisalegend Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 I do remember many on here saying Jos H. was a better CB !! Yoshida has been mostly a very decent performer from day 1 and has definitely lifted a notch this season. Most of Yoshida's dodgy performances, that I've seen, seemed to coincide with him playing along side Jos......
Saint Fan CaM Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 His reading of some situations is as good as it gets, but he needs to be more consistent and a better ball player to dislodge the likes of Toby. Still....very happy to see him committed to Saints.
doddisalegend Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 Well I like him more than GIG and Whelk Fact. Even his dad thinks less of him than I do. Don't worry mate
davefizzy14 Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 A very good read. Maya is class & you can see by his attitude wants to get even better. Very happy when he signed a new three year deal.
hasper57saint Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 One of my favourite Saints. I admire his tenacity.Never fakes injury.If he stays down after a challenge it's real.He still has a bit to learn but I bet his English is better than my Japanese!
Wes Tender Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 He is a real professional in his attitude and application, just like Fonte. He is improving with the more games he plays and although he would be second choice to Alderweireld in the current team, he is a very good back-up.
Bucks Saint Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 Been discussed in past but he is often dodgy when has odd game. When gets a run he is far more solid, A very good CB cover really and happy to be here. Hindsight is wonderful. Plenty of people, me included, said he was decent and did his best but made a few too many mistakes. These did cost goals and some occurred when he had a run in the team (before this season). At the start of this season he made a couple more mistakes, but absolutely agree he has come on a long way, has cut out most of the errors and looks a much more solid player. Well done Maya and RK no doubt
Coldridge Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 Not impressed with his bench press. He is a very lean ectomorph and is conditioned for endurance speed and agility. 80kg BP is not much for a weightlifting enthusiast no, but this is a professional footballer.
Turkish Posted 14 March, 2015 Posted 14 March, 2015 He is a very lean ectomorph and is conditioned for endurance speed and agility. 80kg BP is not much for a weightlifting enthusiast no, but this is a professional footballer. centre halves also need strength and power, I expected him to be nearer the 100kg mark to be honest.
Noodles34 Posted 16 March, 2015 Posted 16 March, 2015 You don't need to canvas thick boy - people pots opinions. Leave for you to go back and check. well you do, anyway, have a good week at school
Viking Saint Posted 17 March, 2015 Posted 17 March, 2015 No coincidence that the improvement in the quality of his performances and far fewer mistakes have come about since RK's arrival....
