He is definitely too lightweight at the moment for left back in the prem.

Bring him on if we're chasing a goal but starting with him would be a mistake.

Yeah, let’s not go mental when he doesn’t start for mykolenko.

Forget about fullback. Get him on the wing. McNeil and Dibling are hopeless at the moment

Fair enough. He could actually be the quickest player in the squad.

He’s perfect for when we’re out of ideas and need a quick little pest to run around and get at the defense.

You saw the overexuberance a bit, he’s certainly not going to start, but we’ve seen McNeil’s corpse ride out the last 20-30 minutes of matches when he’s having no impact and we’ve also seen Röhl come on and play a wider role when this guy’s been on the bench. No excuse for either of those things when it’s not working and we need a catalyst to help us create a chance.

Young Gareth Bale was supposed to a lb.

No pressure, Adam mate!

Just looks lively and enthusastic, which we lack in abundance at the minute.

Would love to see him running off Jack, but that would mean LB, unless Jack moves inside, then you're moving KHD deeper, which he has done... Dunno, he's a definite option now, so should be a genuine 1st pick bench option when chasing the game, at least. I thought the energy he brought was brilliant.

He does need to think about working it round a bit to isolate his full back, rather than thinking "fuck it I'll take them all on", couple of times there was a simple pass when doubled up on, but when you have a few minutes to make your mark, who can blame him. Fantastic cameo, delighted he announced himself.

Hopefully see him start very soon. Worth a run

Not just lightweight, he’s a bit all over the place positionally and chases the ball. He’d be exposed as LB in the prem and it would ruin his confidence.

Let Moyes give him the Coleman treatment

I hope Moyes will but can’t see it. Pretty sure he said recently he doesn’t see Grealish in the 10 so don’t think he’ll play Aznou while Grealish is fit and available.

Moyes and him had a moment of celebration together after we scored the pen on sat, maybe that moment will give moyes some encouragement to give him a go again, even if it's for the last 15.

Agree. He’s raw. But he definitely provides an energy going forward that would be useful when we’re chasing a goal. Deserves some 10-15 min appearances for a while until he proves he’s ready for more or not up to it.

An encouraging appearance from him, warrants a few more energetic last 20 mins from him out wide while we're short handed

Let McNeil tire out the defenders with all their forays straight past him, then bring on Adam to go at them for 30 mins.

As January signings go, he's as good Aznou.
