2025/26 Adam Aznou

[coollino]

Not sure if this has been posted before as it’s a few months old but it should show he deserves a few minutes at least (zoom in on Mittelstadt if you can’t find Adam)

Ah, all makes sense now

At the point now where Myko is consistently so poor, surely he has to be given a go, even as a sub. Just get him on the pitch, and give him a go.

You know Moyes was very reticent to play baines when he first arrived at Everton even though he was playing at Wigan in the premier league didn't think he was physically ready, I think it's a similar scenario. I don't think that Aznou looks bad in training, Moyes takes a while before he becomes comfortable with younger players

Moyes can be an obstinate idiot.

Tbh i fear both are not up to it

One of those fears is based on track record.

Don’t see the problem with the post from Aznou. He’s right to be frustrated having to watch Mykolrnko week in and week out.

As he been getting minutes with the reserves? If not, that’s poor from the club.

He was and he was absolutely awful.

If he wants to play, he's got to be better than Myko, which is a low bar he isn't reaching.

Definitely too defensively crap to play so much as 1 minute this season though.

Moyes has many excellent qualities as a manager but god he's such a stubborn old goat.

Weird one this. Can't prove its his official account, but can't disprove it.

Anyway, been deleted;

Having seen Dibling beeing hooked twice at half time (while being left totally isolated) after being ignored for most of the season my money is on Moyes not using Aznou solely due to his age.

He's intentionally changed a winning team to accomodate Michael Keane rather than use Patterson (which would have benefitted Dibling).

It simply points to Moyes making a conscious choice to not use young players unless he has no other options.

At this point of the season we can look at even just the Forest games where Aznou could have come on at 3-0 or 2-0 up.

The kid was even ready to come on in the recent game for 5mins ish and Moyes sent him back to the dugout.

Have to say i'm 100% backing Aznou at this point.

Disgraceful management of Dibling.

Disgraceful management of Aznou.

You should've seen him warming up with Patterson at half time

I have to say, I noticed that as well. The two of them knocking it around with Armstrong was ridiculous, like two competition winners with a professional footballer.

I know it's only a half time warm up, but the two of them were pathetically off the pace. I actually felt a bit embarrassed for Armstrong chasing after all the loose passes. If that's anything close to how they are in training I'm not surprised Moyes doesn't fancy him.

 

[Zatara]

Unfortunately I reckon he'd look well out of his depth. Moyes isn't soft. If this lad was ready he'd definitely give him a chance given how poor we are in that position.

Could have had him on for McNeil (anyone) in the Forest game at LW.

Could have used him for a few mins when we were 3 up in the other forest game.

Getting him ready stood at the pitch to come on and then send him back is just poor man management of a young player.

Aznou has been doing rondos at Barca & Bayern. Dont think passing a few yards is an issue for him.

Sounds like the kid has been lied to about game time. Fed a pack of lies.

Told he needs to bulk up and then left on the bench. I doubt Moyes has even done anything with him in training.

 

[RomanReigns]

It’s been almost 5 months since the Roma game

He was all over the place 5 months ago

I’d like to think he has improved since then and has been doing some work on his positional awareness

The only way he can improve is by playing games though

He'd had no preseason and was thrown in unprepared due to an injury.

Dont think anything can be judged on a single friendly game. Coleman was used as a right winger initially, no reason why Aznou hasnt been slowly eased in to a few games now.

All I would say is that I've seen him twice for the U21s and on both occasions he's looked like a child playing in a man's game. Looks technically good, but just miles and miles away physically and positionally - and that's at U21 level.

I find it really hard to be critical of Moyes for not giving him playing time when the only evidence I've seen with my own eyes suggests that he should be nowhere near the team.

Granted, there's been a couple of months elapsed since the last time I saw him, but you'd be wanting big improvement on the last showing.

I also don't love the Twitter episode last night - Bayern suggested there was an attitude problem of sorts and last night hasn't done a huge amount to dispel that theory.

I don't think you can compare Aznou and Dibling - Dibling has shown promise at this level, Aznou hasn't

 

[FCBarça]

Aznou has shown promise at this level, just not in the Premiership…and it’s hard to show any of that if you haven’t played a minute. U21 is pointless to even reference since he was already a star in U21 for both Bayern & Barça - are we to believe English youth setup is more rigorous or better at assessing talent than German & Spanish youth setups that produce the vast majority of highest level talents in Europe?
