Played like he had a point to prove.

You can see he has the pedigree of coming through La Masia, let's see what he's got FFS.

Needs to play ahead of McNeil if McNeil is going to play LW for sure.

Should also be given a chance at left back when we are losing games.

I hope Dibbling saw the he energy he showed when he came on.
Definitely not first team ready, but should be getting 15-20 minute cameos here and there, problem is Moyes won’t move Grealish, and I wouldn’t trust him getting those minutes at left back yet.

Basically yes. Was just quite direct, ran at players, decent feet, got a few of theirs booked for trips and such and from battling for the ball. All positive stuff really.

That said, don’t want to over egg the pudding. He made a nice impact with his play and winning the penalty (was soft) but I think he also looked better because others looked a bit poor.

He should be proud of his cameo though.

Appreciate that, thanks. Good to hear he did ok and wasnt off the pace.

Put grealish in the middle and Aznou on the left please.

Can see why he's more of a wing back than a full back.

He'll get zero minutes sadly against Villa because it's moyes but I hope he gets utilised more.

Norton-Cuffy looks good there as well

Look at that. I'm not sure it'll happen, but I'm all aboard the double-barrel train with KDH and BNC.

He was very positive and very determined which I loved to see. .I think he looked raw on some occasions and definitely wouldn't be starting him, but needs to be coming off the bench with 20 left the next few games to see it he can replicate that level of energy and drive.

Definitely raw.

Great attitude though. If he doesn't get minutes of the back of that what incentive is there for fringe players?

I liked what I saw in the Roma friendly. Started well and looked lively. Got pinned back more over time and looked not quite at it, but the attitude and willingness to be brave was there.

Moyes said some nice words about him in the post-match, but reiterated he's not ready to play left-back physically in the Prem at the moment.

I have a memory, although not 100% sure, that he introduced both Coleman and Baines on the wing before putting them Full back.

Not sure about Baines but I'm certain he did it with Coleman.

Hoping he does this here with Aznou, even if it isn't to start, 15-20 mins off the bench to play on the wing like he did today for experience.

The only other time I've seen him was the Roma friendly where admittedly he looked well off it.

He definitely did with Coleman, problem with that though is would he take Grealish off willingly with much time to spare? Maybe Grealish could move to the 10 for 20 mins at the end of a game.

Now is the time to put him at left back: clear of relegation; Myko has had his opportunity

He'll get the physicality by playing, and thus ready for next season
