StrandedSchards#2Hound One thing I’ve noticed about Azeez which has made a huge difference is he is trusting his right foot a whole lot more
Previously he was always cutting back. Now he is regularly putting in excellent crosses on his right
The defender is now struggling as they want to keep him on his weaker foot, but in doing that he is tearing them up down to the byline. If they block that he can come back inside and swing in a cross from his left
Maybe a confidence thing or something he has worked hard on. Either way it’s made him twice the player
It's hard to recall any other player improving so significantly, so quickly as Azeez. He is a completely different player from 8 weeks ago.
The only comparison I can think of is Nick Blackman when his body was possessed by the demon of a decent forward for 6 months
TBF the only thing that has improved is the end result, he was still making the same runs and stretching teams but was just choosing the wrong options all the time. He is still making some poor decisions but now not every decision is poor.
Though also tbf that ‘end product’ is quite a large range. It’s improved crossing, shooting and decision making. All seem to have got a lot better imo
