I think Tanaka will be a big loss, but agree with what you guys both said with them managing to keep everyone else. Fujii on the right side could do well. I think they will have enough about them to stay clear. They won't be in my Jpred this year.
I have indeed! I'm off today so clicked play as soon as I got the notification. I have a lot of JPred preparation to do.
I really like both clubs and the League is better when both these sides are up at the top end so hope I am wrong!
He's very much unproven as a manager. Team also so reliant on Anderson Lopes, who could still leave in the summer.
For Frontale, I just think a lot of the veterans are another year older, can see Yamada leaving and I never like coaching changes that are so dramatic in the change of philosophy.
Thanks for answering my questions! Just want to clarify my Marinos and Frontale concerns. Both were the same number of points away from top 3 and bottom 3 last season. With Marinos, lost a lot of players at the back. I'm not wholly convinced by Deng and Quinones and as much as I like Steve Holland
