2025/26 Adam Aznou

[jceverton]

He has a nice touch, is clearly a much better crosser than Myko (the lowest possible bar) and generally better on the ball. But he gave the ball away and awful lot trying to dribble. If you do that at left back consistently you'll be really vulnerable on the break.

Bizarre comment since he was playing left mid, and we were trying to win a cup match!

This lad deserves minutes sort it Moyes

 

[jceverton]

Has he really?

He's an u21 career destroyer.

100% - I remember Moyes asking Arteta to work with Ross Barclay and tell him his opinion. Arteta worked with him and told Moyes he was ready for the first team. Moyes played him a couple of times, the lad made a mistake in an away game. Moyes subbed him and sent him on loan to Neil Warnock.

Moyes has been lying through his 'kin teeth over that lad and some bought into his tripe.

[Sheedy's right knee.]

He was bright but still way too raw. Gives the ball away so he’s better left wing than left back.

Maybe with Grealish and Dewsbury Hall he may have a bit more defensive cover and to be fair I would think we would be more on the front foot. Also a fit Branthwaite would give us more pace behind him and better distribution.

 

[jceverton]

Thing I never understand with players who come in and aren’t physically up for it, especially academy kids, is how slow we seem to build their bodies up. Gordon showed it’s quite possibly in basically one summer to bulk up.

Pretty sure Gordon used a specialist strength and fitness coach to do that and think Armstrong used same guy this summer. Can't remember his name but think he's an ex Everton player.

Give him minutes on the wing...

He will develop defensively and physically as he gets older and spends more time with the squad....

Only have to look across the park to see they're using their 35mill.fullback on the wing until he adjusts to the leagues pace and physicality

 

[Wrighty]

His a winger….he can’t defend.

 

[davek]

Apparently he's not good enough because he had a few bad games in the U21s and he's not athletic enough.

Yeh he played great at left-back today.

Unfortunately thats not a differentiating factor in this team.

….terrific cameo, great to see a youngster coming on with a point to prove.

Yeah the Coleman treatment is what’s needed to get him physically up to speed. Can’t see any reason though why he can’t get minutes in games coming on at left wing as a different type of option.

Well he proved you wrong.
