With both Keiji Tamada and Josh Kennedy missing, Nagoya were no match for the home team as they lost their game in hand. This was another dull performance, from what should be an attacking formation, time for Pixie to reassess his tactics, since without the lanky Aussie up front we look lost.
It was a shame we did not get to see Hikaru play, despite making it into the senior squad for the first time. Unlike Maki and Magnum, at least Kuba claims to understand his role in the manager's 4-3-3 system. Elsewhere, it was good to see Chiyotanda and Danilson get their first starts.
However, apart from the early games against Gamba and Frontale, we have not looked good this season. Let's hope some of the other players start to understand their roles in Stojkovic's system, or this could indeed be his final year in charge. (Hs is the last year of a 3-year contract.) That would be a shame since he has clearly taken the team in the right direction, but seems to have lost his inspirational effect, at least temporarily.

where is kennedy?
Out with a bad back (again). Nothing too serious, and he will probably be in the squad for Sunday's game.
