You dismissed him for being 'poor' at U21 level and you implied that that told a story; when you should know that if a player is used to playing with higher quality then going down a level or two can be the issue.….really?

Maybe Moyes will stop BS everyone now and people will also stop believing the manager who's judged the player prematurely.
Did some things well today, others not so well but I don't think you can realistically argue he's used to playing at a higher level than warming the first team bench and getting minutes for the U21s.
Loads of players come through La Masia, get nowhere near the first team and ultimately do nothing of note at Barcelona - Aznou is one of them.
For Bayern he was mostly playing for their Bayern II alongside young players in the 3/4th tier in Germany. Aside from that there was 2 sub appearances in total for the first team in games that were pretty much won.
He spent half a season at Valladoid getting 13 games though I don't know how that breaks down in starts/subs. Valladoid finished rock bottom of La Liga on 16 points. They were another 16 points behind the team above them and Valladoid conceded 90 goals with a -64 goal difference.

He was bought for our first team and Ild like to see what he can do.
We saw a bit today. Ild like to see more. I dont trust this manager's judgment on any player because he hasn't got a clue.
Hels hiding behind youth/inexperience/physicality to deny handing him a decent chance on the pitch.

A really good post which provides a lot of context. From that you can definitely see why he might not have been ready for Premier League football in the first half of this season.
Bought to immediately come in or to develop into a first team player?

“We put him higher up more as a left-winger. The competition to play in those roles are very, very high. So, that makes it less likely in some ways, but I was very pleased for Adam as he’s a good boy.
“He’s got bits about him which are ready, just physically to be a left-back in the Premier League is where we’re seeing him need to develop.”
Isnt it funny that he clearly was looking like he could hack the pace and physicality against larger players.
Wingers are typically not as big and strong as those he faced today. Not sure why he couldnt be a left back if its physicality.
Anyway from Moyes comments he's the future left back with Mykolenko rotating.
No new left back incoming which im fine with.
That ball he put in where Beto and Barry just stood there like a pair of bellends was superb. Any striker worth their salt would have been licking their lips at that cross.
Can't blame them, Mykolenko has never played that cross in his life.
I was shocked they Myko actually put 2 ok balls in today that beat the first man. He looked our most likely to score with all his little pot shots
