I remember when Yoshida coming on meant a definite mistake and usually a goal conceded. But I think he's really grown as a player. You see how he's led our defense and what he's achieved with his national side. I can now see him as someone who's a first team regular, 30+ games a season. He doesn't make those silly mistakes much and he seems more comfortable on the ball. I got myself a jersey with his name at the back. 9/10 for me. Really rate him.
Minimum 8.5 for me, if not a 9. If Yoshida hadn't played as well as he did this season then I'm pretty sure we would have been in big, big trouble. This perennial bashing from Nick and other TUI members is becoming borderline ridiculous and almost feels racist if I'm honest.
Yoshida has had his fair share of critics but how would you rate this season?
