His use of his body is so good. 50/50s don't exist for him - it's 60/40 at the least every time. |  | |  |

I think that is symptomatic of the modern game. The defensive side of things get so little respect and appreciation. It's all about dinks, tricks and free-kicks. Azor, Morsy, etc are incredible to watch and invaluable to a succesful team. |  |

Totally agree. Reading the game seems less valued in these days of patterns and set plays. Azor wins the ball because of it time after time. |  | |  |

Twice in the last ten minutes he broke up derby’s efforts to move forward. Absolute colossus of a player. |  |

| Azor is so so good on 14:42 - Feb 7 with 3115 views | _CliveBaker_ | He’s got to be the best out of possession midfielder in the division, I’ve certainly not seen better. His use of the ball is improving as well, seems to get caught in possession less now and manages to find some progressive passes. He’s a beast. |  | |  |

| Azor is so so good on 14:47 - Feb 7 with 3005 views | Horsham | Absolutely brilliant and worthy of note in his role and in a game where the red threw about about yellow cards like confetti he once again managed to not get a yellow himself. So clean and so controlled (penalty aside!) |  | |  |

Yes! Big part of the appeal too. Works hard for the team to let us play. He deserves to play in the PL. |  | |  |

Totally agree with you about both parts. Off the ball, he’s ridiculous. And the best compliment we can give him is that Morsy at his absolute best for us wouldn’t start ahead of Azor if we could only have one. And on the ball, he’s come on an absolute mile from when he first signed. He drives forward and picks the attacking pass so much more often now than the safe option. |  |

Absolutely, and you couldn't blame him for the penalty either, just got " done" by a piece of skill from a highly promising young player. That can happen to anyone. I said some weeks ago that he must be related to an octopus, as he seems to grow an extra limb and get to balls he shouldn't get to! Another poster above mentioned him being watched by Liverpool. I got some abuse from someone in particular for mentioning that very same thing a few weeks ago. He was and it was before the start of last season. That info doesn't come from some desperate journo etc, either. |  | |  |

Yep, was on Liverpool list before start of last season as you say. They shouldn't have been giving you grief! Just shows their ignorance! What a player. |  | |  |

Thought yesterday was a marked improvement again on the passing front, really noticeable. He was spraying some lovely forward passes. |  |

Really impressed with him yesterday. When I saw him earlier in the season, the defensive stuff was good but felt that he didn't take us forward, but now he's taking balls on the half turn like Morsy used to and we transition so much better |  |

| Azor is so so good on 10:32 - Feb 8 with 714 views | Chrisd | He had a good game yesterday, although the penalty was the right decision, that challenge on Clarke was a little clumsy. You can see him doing a job in the Premier League, but I wouldn’t say for a top level side. He just gets on with his job with little fuss. |  |
