Scores again today, away to Sheffield Wednesday.
23 goal contributions from Azaz now, which is apparently the best in the Championship. But notable that they are unusually weighted towards games against bottom half teams. He hasn't scored against a top half team all season, and his record is 0 goals and 1 assist against top six teams.
Eric Cantona was famously a big man for the small occasion. I'd take a Cantona now :)
He's doing his best to get Boro into the play offs here against Coventry. He's their best player by a distance. Maybe should have done better with a shot he hit straight at the keeper. Commentator said he's had 3 on target shots saved by keeper. I think he's right - 2 just now and one in first half Azaz thought was in for a second but keeper touched off the post.
4th shot saved by keeper. Everything is going through him. Their centre forward is spending more time getting out of Azaz way than playing with him.
No promotion for Middlesbrough, but maybe Azaz might get a move up.
he was the driving force behind anything positive they did. I think he had four efforts on goal, all saved but only one really came close.Quote:

Who of that Villa, front six, for arguments sake, is he getting in ahead of ? Realistically.Quote:

He wouldn't have had the minutes at the level they're operating at this last couple of years in order to prosper though ? He didn't immediately hit the ground running a division below either, took him a bit, a bit he probably wouldn't have gotten at Villa. The odd league cup outing doesn't really give that. & he's still quite streaky / patchy.
If he ends up at a club going deep into the CL stages & upsetting the EPL established order & being key to that, then you can talk about Villa calling it wrong I guess.
