Shop window I reckon, but you might be right.
Then again he cost only a smidge less than Barry so Moyes might want transfer$ value from his sale rather than another dead loss.
If that was a shop window, it was boarded up

I agree, it was very poor, but it beats not playing at all.
I think Dyche will value the half a dozen seasons he's had him under him, more than one game under a different manager.

Edu buys the players, not Dyche

Shame could be the last good thing he does for us.

The shop window argument doesn't make sense. There is no market in today's game for a player who doesn't look anything like an athlete, runs in quicksand and who can only use one foot. We're not close to a transfer window, we're not desperately in need of money and we have better options already at the club.
It was just a really, really poor decision from a manager who looks like he belongs in another era, both tactically and inter personally. His motives for it are open to debate but it was so bizarre it'll go down as one of those 'do you remember when' pub conversations for the next few years.

The only rational explanation for this is that heโs trying to set a bar in training and wants more in training from other players.
But even in that context it was the wrong thing to do.

Can he play LB or at least replace Myko when we are chasing a game?

McNeil too slow, and I donโt like him.

Yeah it was more of a throwaway comment on how poor the fullback situation is. People are complaining about Mykolenko a lot at the minute but our options are very limited right now.

Would like to se Aznou given a go when we're chasing a game. Not from the start but as an atracking sub. It could give Jack so much more space constantly having an option running beyond him.

We would need to be leading 3-0 and comfortably dominating a game for Moyes to even consider this, maybe even 4-0.

Iโd want a lot of protection in front of Aznou if he played in a league game. Otherwise heโd get an absolute hounding.

Aznou needs to be brought on for Grealish with 15 mins left.
Moyes is running Jack and Ndaiye in to the ground instead of giving them a rest at the end of matches we've already won or lost.
Need to blood the youngsters as much for the senior players longevity this season as for the subs getting experience.

They're only playing one game a week.
