Achraf Lazaar leaves NUFC by mutual consent

New player to a new country/new league/new team plays two matches of football and doesn't have a stormer - you have to be disappointed and expect more! It's the way the world is now!

Had his shot gone in v Hull you'd have all been talking about his end product for 7 pages being tops. Absence from team either makes people think players are s*** or GOAT. Get balanced peoples.

Didn't see wolves. Thought he looked decent against Hull. Good footwork.

Time to give him a chance at LB.

He must be awful in training for Dummett to still start ahead of him.

But what if the balanced view was that he was poor as he misplaced an incredible amount of passes and lost out in a lot of tackles? Which he did.

Can't be good for your confidence seeing Dummett getting picked ahead of you 

Wonder what the problem is? Match fitness? Lightweight, needs adjustment to pace, aggression of champship?

Can't be worse than Dummet FFS!

IMO, Dummet is underrated by some simply because he's come through our ranks. Some people seem to be labelling him and thinking of him as poor simply based on opinions of when he first broke into the side and was admittedly dodgy. Now, he's a very solid defensive left back and I'm more than happy with him to start for us in this league. Having a defensive winger ahead of him doesn't help the team though (e.g. Gouffran).

While fairly true his form has dropped off and he was awful last night, and needs dropping as it stands.

He was especially awful in attack yesterday. His defensive contribution wasn't his normal solid self either.

Admittedly didn't catch the match last night

Dummett's had a steady season, but he was pitiful last night. I'd give Lazaar a go against Forest.

Disagree think he is a terrible player who offers nothing going forward and is caught out time and time again with the ball over the top. Can't really judge Lazaar as he has not played at all much.

As poor as Dummett was last night (as was Anita as they got in behind us down both flanks constantly) what I saw of Lazaar live against Wolves did not inspire me with any confidence at all, he was awful.

Dummett is poor, no idea why people think he is defensively solid, he is constantly caught out of position and he offers absolute nothing going forward, in fact he is a hindrance as it takes him an age to control the ball and then he hoofs it aimlessly forward or passes back to Clark using up precious time.

True he was poor against Wolves, he'll have to get used to English football so gets a bit of leeway from us for now surely. Although i would say Lazaar should be pushing a very poor Dummett from the team by now, but Rafa probably thinks he's not doing enough in training to deserve starting. That and Rafa is very cautious when introducing players to his system (Lazaar been here long enough though for that not to be a factor now imo).

Been impressed with him lately. Feel its time to get Paully or Gouff out and him in.

He will play against Oxford. He's Rafas pet man.

If he can get settled he will be a great player for us imo.

Agree. Not sure if he's a winger or a full back, but agree.

Won't be a moment too soon. We are desperate for some pace or flair from wide positions. Yedlin made a difference yesterday, we could do with something similar on the other flank.
