we select teenage defenders in midfield ahead of our japanese lads. we have little desire to retain possession and create openings. we don't get numbers forward and often have 3 sitters in midfield with a back 5 behind them.  this suits neither ishige or nagasawa. how are they meant to show their ability in this structure other than one of them playing up top next to kosta?

nagasawa is 33. theoretically he's on the decline. and he hasn't had a run of games in the team, which would normally slow the decline

nagasawa is 33. theoretically he's on the decline. he also hasn't had a run of games to arrest the theoretical decline.
