Yoshinori Mutō (now playing for Vissel Kobe)

Not sure how he's going to fit in, with Kenedy and Rondon probably being 2 of our best players, I suspect we might see him rotated with Perez?

Love the fact we have a Japanese player, especially one called Yoshi.

I think he could play with Perez if Rondon was the focal point.

He might be able to play up front himself at times, we don't necessarily need a target man type.

We were at our best last year when we didnt tbh.

Even though Joselu did well last game I'd prefer Perez behind Muto until Rondon is match fit.

Maybe if Muto is playing up top, we might play it along the ground a bit more.

I can see him linking up really well with Kenedy.

I know people are thinking that we are reliant on Joselu/Rondon's target man qualities in order to progress up the pitch, but I'd counter that with the fact we spent most of last season playing Gayle up front and did okay all things considered. I'd be very keen to see how the movement of Muto & Perez could work together to create spaces for the likes of Kenedy to exploit.

This guy is going to be sensational.

Big reason why we still competed so well with 10 men.

Fantastic defensive contribution and just buzzes abou the place when we go forward.

Really good play to get us the penalty at the end too.

Can't wait for him to be in from the start with Rondon.

You must be more observant than me, I barely noticed he was on

Calm down Kaka man, he barely did anything bar win the penalty Not the game to judge him on mind

He won the ball so much, no?! Thought he was good!

He's definitely not lightweight like Ayoze is. Reasonable strength and can hold his own from what we have seen.

exactly this

Worst type of game for him to come in to though

He looked good in his Spurs cameo. Didn't do anything particularly wrong today just didn't really see much of the play in the 20 minutes he was on. He looks more physical than Perez though which I like about him.

I'm with you, he will be a good player for us I feel.

He's a second or two behind the play, as you'd expect, but he looks well matched physically. Loves a channel!

Would have had an assist today if Kenedy could take a penalty. Maybe he can take a better penalty.

Won a pen which should have won us the game. Can't really argue with that in an awful team performance.

He looks lively but can't beat 3 defenders and make things happen on his own. Needs support up front.

Won the pen. I like him, from the little I've seen. But Rondon should've went on instead. Muto is not the player to hoof to.

I'd like to think over the next 3-4 games our front two evolves to Muto and Rondon up front one way or another.

Hopefully, yes.

There was a moment in the second half where he was chasing a man back on the left flank and looked surprisingly slow.

Got rinsed by Hoilett (I'm hoping it was him and not Zohore or a clogger RB) if memory serves. Wouldn't expect him to be quicker tbh.

It was Mendez-Laing IIRC. The guy who looked like a tank.

I was at the game on that side of the pitch. This is right
