2025/26 Adam Aznou

I’m not defending our recruitment, I think there’s been some shockers. But not every player is going to be a hit. And punts won’t always work out. It’s way too early to call that on Aznou. We need to replace Patterson. But currently Moyes has found a solution and has us in 8th, only 3 points behind Bournemouth with their super duper attacking fullbacks who are “sitting in 4th”.

You are raving about truffert with his 1 assist in 7 league games. Myko has 3 g/a in the league under Moyes. Which works out at 1 in 7.

we cant be comparing fullbacks based on G/A stats

Moyes makes decisions primarily on a political basis: on how much control or lack of control over team affairs playing certain players offers him.

It's clear Aznou wasn't one he wanted, so he'll just freeze him out.

Just one of the many reasons Moyes is a disgrace.
Yeah, Moyes defo made the Bradford fans say he was the worst player they have ever seen.
 
Simple really

For the player, he was prioritized for the 1st team by two clubs in Bayern & Barça yet wanted 1st team minutes sooner than later. He got that at Valladolid who couldn’t avoid relegation but he played well when given minutes

With Everton, new league & language means adaptation required even if he were a regular 1st team player…more so, without. However, he expressly left big clubs to play.

Now being spoken about as a player not ready for 1st team football with Everton by 1st team coach and the U21 one suggests the club are not in a rush to play a player who came expressly for opportunity to play. Ergo, loan for an ambitious player who will not be happy to go from ‘waiting’ for his chance at Everton when he already was doing that at Bayern & Barcelona

Rightly or wrongly, player likely expected to play and this cannot be playing out like he planned or intended
He isn't going to be that naieve/deluded to believe he is ready to play in the first team when he is struggling at a much lower level. If he was playing well and not getting picked that's a different matter.
 

Hope the lad is given time to adjust to league and show his talent.

But we didn't have the luxury of buying players to go out on loan or one for the future. Not this summer.

We needed full backs who could challenge for a place straight away.

How do Palace find Munoz, Bournemouth Kirkez, Brentford Kayode and we haven't bought a decent full back since Digne in 2018?

Ok, watch the game then report back how you think he played.
Didn't have a chance to watch the full match but his pass for the Everton goal was good and I have no idea what Bates was doing letting the pass from him roll through to the Bradford player. (I assume he thought there was a team-mate in the middle behind him?)

On the more negative side, he wasn't in position to block crosses or getting successfully involved in any physicality. Had he been an anonymous U18 promoted to the 21s I would have thought that he looked out of his depth and needed a lot more experience and work.
