2025/26 Adam Aznou

[ElGato]

He would have had a horrible time as well. We now have 2 leftbacks, one is deemed to not be ready and the other is injured and nowhere near good enough.

Way to deal with that is to play a back three: surprised he didn't do that

Or to play a mid or low block and counter: surprised he didn't do that either

Think the tactics were miles wide of the mark yesterday, we had absolute fa shape off the ball, was like watching a load of schoolkids at times.

Any official word on if he's injured?

I’ve read a couple of reports saying he is injured but nothing about the injury

 

[bullybeef]

Not writing him off but questions need to be asked why we haven’t signed players ready to play in the prem ASWELL as the likes of this lad?

And what if he is just injured?

Right out of our playbook for replacing the RB

Particularly bizarre because our low block last season was genuinely great. Maybe just too much forced personnel change.

And what if he is just injured?

He might be.
But his performance against Roma already raised concerns that he wasn’t ready.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

He's made one of his awkward points to the people who bought him.

The feller is making decisions now for himself and his own ego, not Everton FC.

Time for him to go if that's the case.

If Moyes is allegedly running recruitment, who the hell bought Aznou in? And why?

The Exceptional Operators did because they felt he was the answer.

Good questions.

 

[Moomin]

What is the script with the New Zealand stuff?

You could have said that about any Everton player against Roma apart from maybe KDH.

Aznou has played to Everton's average when he's been on the pitch, which is to say bang average/poor.

Baffled at how untrained we looked.

Some forced personnel change - but majority of that starting XI were with us last season and have had a full pre-season.

Makes me think Moyes didn't elect for that option against this opposition. Which you could argue is fair enough - don't draw them onto us, get the crowd up, etc. However with the personnel we had (or didn't have) I'd have thought it would be necessary.

Look, I’m not bagging the lad. I’m hoping he’s gonna come good… very good.

But he’s a young lad and probably not quite ready for the blood and thunder of the prem.

We needed Garner in midfield, but Moyes took him out of there to play him at LB when we had a new LB to play.

It's as simple as that.
