Ryunosuke Sato

And as an aside, I was really surprised and actually quite disappointed that he decided to rest today.

Nagakura, because Tokyo's playing only one game a week at the moment, and Nagakura was in rare form alongside Marcelo Heian, but he decided to give Kane Sato a start up front in Nagakura's stead.

But yeah, further aside, Tokyo have a little bit of an injury crisis of their own going on at the Kento Hashimoto, the fullback one, has a fractured leg.

And Yuto Nagatomo has done his ACL while Shion Homma was out of the lineup on Saturday night.

And, you know, if an ugly 1-0 win is good enough for Vissel Kobe, then it's good enough for FC Tokyo.

I mean, Kashima Antlers won the league last year with a series of very ugly victories.

yeah it's it's when you're in the sort of nagoya gamba fukuoka position where you actually play reasonably well but take nothing i think that's when you you start to worry sure um i would say yeah fc turkey those injuries you've listed do sound quite worrying i guess i mean mario could maybe play it left back and if she had that right back and i noticed you've signed a a spanish striker called danny gomez i don't know I mean, that doesn't fix any of the left midfield or left back problems, but Kane, Sato can become more of a left midfield option instead.

I guess Anzai could play there as well if you wanted to switch things around.
