mitsuo Posted 30 November 2010 Share Posted 30 November 2010 i have to agree that he is a usefull player. Not only in the World cup. But since the WC, and like before, he didn't start any match. i don't know why. We played 4-1-4-1 in the WC. But now we play 4-5-1 or 4-3-3 with 2 CM. And Japan coach only use Endo and Hasebe in the starting lineup. I like Endo too but he's a very smart, has experience but he is too slow. i prefer Abe too. He'll need to fight for his place but it will be not easy because a lot of competition in the midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collier Posted 30 November 2010 Share Posted 30 November 2010 We should try and sign Endo, he's brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absenteefan Posted 1 December 2010 Share Posted 1 December 2010 Just to bring things full circle, I wanted to let you guys know that Japanese Yuki Abe fans are discussing FoxesTalk posts on Japanese message boards. http://yuzuru.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/football/1291028229/532 This post is translating FoxesTalk comments related to Abe's performance against Forest in response to a post that basically asks,"what the f*** are they doing to Abe's face on the 'he's there, he's there' thread?"

I've read that Abe and another player who moved to Germany have both been left out of squads to let them settle in their new countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umechan Posted 1 December 2010 Share Posted 1 December 2010 No just for the games since the World Cup. Abe was left out of the September friendlies so he could settle in at Leicester, but brought back into the squad against Argentina and South Korea in October. He came on as a sub for Endo at the end of the Argentina game and did his usual unspectacular good job. Against South Korea, the manager brought on an attacking midfielder instead, as Japan was pushing to score at that point rather than protecting a lead. I'm an Endo fan, but he's not getting any younger, and for Gamba he's often looked a bit listless the past couple of seasons. It's far too early to write him off, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Abe getting more time on the pitch for Japan and Endo a bit less in future. Great forum, by the way! I've been quietly enjoying the discussions for a while, but this is the first time for me to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmo86 Posted 1 December 2010 Author Share Posted 1 December 2010 why are japan taking part in the copa america? Think they've started inviting a guest team into the competition. Not 100% But i'm sure i've seen Mexico and Costa Rica in it before when they usually play in the North American version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitsuo Posted 2 December 2010 Share Posted 2 December 2010 Great player, him & Wellens were awesome last night. He will be missed. Hopefully it doesn't lead to a dip in Wellens form. PS Does anyone know why he doesn't take free-kicks, he's awesome at them for Japan like this at 0:45 ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vV_O_kx6zA&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpaM Posted 3 December 2010 Share Posted 3 December 2010 Nah Yuki would still find a way . If he ever gets the flippin' chance All want is to see him take one, just one. I'm still baffled as to why we've bought the "japanese answer to David Beckham" and he's been nowhere near any of the free kicks we've had. Most of the time he's nearer to our goal than where the free kicks being taken from. Someone needs to start a petition or make a banner something along the lines of "Yuki Abe, give him a bloody chance on goal!" It could just be that japanese players are just crap at free kicks tho, and Yukis the best of a bad bunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
