The Everton Forum • Re: Adam Aznou

I know it was just one game, etc but outside of Grealish (and aside from George as he was played) we've had one player this season off the left wing that's looked dynamic/direct and had any sort of wild card threat and that was Aznou's cameo. Really not trying to go overboard with one 30 minute performance, but it's so odd to me that we shoehorn in CMs into the wide role that doesn't suit them, and they don't offer creativity or width rather than give these players 20 mins or whatever. Particularly when we see them doing well last time out. Similar with Rohl, played arguably really well and probably his best game against Villa then disappears. I get they need to show it in training consistently but where is the carrot to go with the stick here?

So frustrating to watch at times, more so as we seem to give certain players endless chances to play and often mess up and others not so much.
