Inexistent build-up too, they just kick the ball forwards hoping that Tago can hold the ball against like 3 opponents without really offering any assistance...

Erison!!! What an amazing goal!

What a shame that game was, but that's what happens if you don't use your chances against an opponent like Kashima...

Nice to see Osa make his debut though, thought he did well. Let's hope he gets more playing time, as Ito's and Marcinho's form are questionable to say the least 🙃

Kawahara what a goal!!!
#frontale

I hope Nakamura gets a chance, she was amazing at the U17 World Cup last year

I still can't believe the last knockout game at a WC from Italy was the final in 2006...

Wow that was the most embarrassing and pathetic performance I've ever seen from Frontale (and that's saying something 🙃). I'm not sure if I want to see Hasebe on the sidelines again after this game.

I just feel like there's just so much going wrong with the whole club at the moment...

If a player has a head injury, an extra substitution will be allowed for both teams (for anyone that didn't know that this rule existed)

Kitagawa might have a concussion, I just rewatched the scene of the first foul and she hit her head really hard... Hope she's okay...

Kitagawa getting fouled dangerously two times in a row (each one should've been a yellow imo) and the ref doesn't even give a foul once 🙃

Miura really needs to be dropped for the next game, his defending just keeps getting worse and worse it seems...

Also Ozeki getting only 3 minutes in the last two games is just criminal from Hasebe, especially considering the midfield has been completely inexistent...

Kurz zur Verbesserung:
Sein bisheriger Verein, Avispa Fukuoka ist schon seit 2021 in der J1 (1.Liga). Ando selbst hat bis 2024 aber immer nur bei Vereinen in der J2 und der J3 gespielt.

Konno I'm excited about too, although he didn't have the best of seasons this year I believe. But he's played under Hasebe before, so that's really good!
Brodersen seems like he's a similar keeper type like Yamaguchi, but he was essential to Fagiano's success in the last few years so I'm hopeful :)

Any opinions on Brodersen and Konno potentially coming in?

I think most of our fans want another GK now after this game (from what I've read) + our squad needs a complete overhaul anyway.
I don't want to point at
players and blame them for everything, but there are a few I don't want to see starting for us again next season.

I think he's ok, did a few great saves this season, but there were quite some points/games lost due to him messing something up.
If I were in charge, I would make him Nr. 2 for next season and sign a Korean GK as Nr. 1, cause if we want to play for the title next year we should get a better one.

Yeah, that's sadly typical for the J-League (mainly Japanese managers)... But most of our young players always stay for one year for training, then get loaned out and if they develop well, they come back and start getting minutes in, but now with the U21 league coming, maybe that could now change...

The problem with not many youngsters getting a chance is because we don't have that many who are that promising or currently ready for our 1st team IMO...
Next year there will be a U21 league, so I hope to see them playing there to get some experience and compete for a place in our 1st team that way

Wasn't meant as criticism, I'm just really impressed with Ito's season (especially compared to his entire career before ^^)

Great win!
Still can't believe that Ito has 11 goals in 11 games 😮
Have to admit, he should have gotten your player of the game way more often 😅
His impact this year really rivals Mitoma's first season for us

I feel so sorry for Oshima though, it's unbelievable what he has to go through...

Ito is on a different level right now 🔥
Also nice from Romanic to pass there

Just shows how irreplacable Yamamoto is in midfield for us
(Of course Erison and Ito in attack too)

Yeah, that great save at the end of the game was nice and all, but we definitely concede way to many soft goals with him in goal (he's not the only one to blame when looking at our defense of course, but in general he's to blame for a decent amount of goals this season)

Really nice to win two absolutely chaotic games back to back!
Erison has been incredible today, also delighted to see Miyagi score out of nowhere. Defense was not good again, but as long as we score a goal more than them, I don't really mind 😅

Tatsuya Ito is unstoppable, what a player!

We brought back Myogan and even called up Mochiyama, but there are still 2 GK on the bench...
Must be a pretty serious illness going around in our team then :(

That came out of nowhere :O
Sadly I was never particularly impressed with him (and his time with Vegalta didn't exactly change that feeling)
Our squad issues must be pretty dire for him to come back now... Maybe we shouldn't have loaned out both Yamauchi and Verhon🤔

Watched today's training video and wow there were not many players present 😶‍
At least Miyagi seems to be back in training after disappearing recently, but probably not fit enough for saturday...
I really hope we don't have to play against Nagoya with a completely decimated squad again 🫠

Would be nice if the team would communicate if something was up (I know J-League clubs rarely do so unfortunately, but still), cause now I'm stuck between "wow what an uninspiring performance" and "maybe something health related is going on in the team"...

I really wanted to see Segawa in that position... 🥲
But hopefully Yamauchi has a good time in Sendai, I really want to see him with us again and I really hope he doesn't end up like Myogan or Einaga
