He will not get more playing time under Mou.
Mou expect his strikers to press.run.

Yeaup ...!! and there in lies the real problem .....!!
He badly lacks the Fitness/Stamina/Durability (and possibly ambition and drive) that is required to be game-in, game out main striker for any club in top 4-5 ...!!
FFS he showed up to his new job Fat and unfit AF....with all sorts of BS injury excuses for it..!!
took him what?3-4 months to finally get game-fit ... then had to play 2nd-3rd fiddle to patrick and holzk and ride the bench and then get himself injured during the the fking Warm Up to enter a CL match..!! looool

this is why i told you guys that by far biggest reason for Mehdi's EU success so far is and his been his Peak Personal Fitness/ Stamina and Durability ....!! Sardar is nearly twice the quality of a Striker/goal-scorer but doesnt even have a fraction of Mehdi's overall Fitness/Stamina ..!!

.. besides all that...
the last time mou/roma showed rather lukewarm interest in sardar was only because they were sorta borke as a joke and were Only looking to bring him on as a Free transfer the summer after his contract was set to run out at Zenit..!! otherwise they were unwilling to drop even 4-5 mil to convince zenit to release him 6months early..! same story with Juve interest for him at that time..!

Thank god….he needs to get out of this club ASAP. He has performed decently when given his chances and never got a stretch of a few games where he could start, how the hell is he supposed to get in rhythm? You guys probably watched his one game where he missed a bunch of chances and never watched the ones following that where he was creating chances left and right. Yes strikers primary objective is to score goals but the ones who can also create chances for the team and cause problems are equally as valuable when you have other deadly attacking players who need that service.

azmoun deserves much, much better.

Sorry folks but I disagree. Azmoun should stay. This team will be selling Wirtz, Diaby, Schik and Frimpog. Their style of play will not stay the same once a couple of the speed guys are gone. They will have to go back to playing football. As for now, they do not press high. Neither Hlozek or Schik are busting their balls pressing high. They drop off and play compact defense between the midfield line and their own 18 line and rely on speedy counter attacks. They want the other team to move up the field so there is space to run into. They do not want the other team pinned back. Sardar actually did exactly what the coach wanted him to do which is play tall and active. They immediately stopped playing from the back and switched to long balls. He came in to guard a 2-0 lead and they did that. Yes, the coach wants everyone to score but that is not why you insert a player when you are up by 2. Fact of the matter is he has big time competition to deal with and he must have known that when he signed. Unless he agrees to a transfer it is not going to happen and playing for TM in the future is not the incentive it used to be so I do not think he is going to do a JB move.

Let's not forget he played as CM many times at the end and beginning of this season due to all the injuries the club had.

[Abtin]

Saw it coming early on. Unfortunately.

Watching his playing minutes slowly fade away

[koorosh]

Will score the next time he gets a chance to play more than 15 minutes.

On the bench for the big match vs Dortmund.

CHO is not active today so hope that increases Sardar's chances for meaningful minutes.

Hlozek to bench but still no Azmoun…

[inarsenewetrust]

Sardar rubbished the gala rumors pre game. Said he has no idea where they come from and that he has a long term contract with leverkusen and intends to be successful there

[mehdi13]

When Schick returns he might not even make the bench. I guess he’ll find the same success as JB…

so in essence he is getting paid handsomely so he's happy enough & doesnt give a fk if they gonna play him much or not ...!!?

park the bus fail... down 0-1

that oghta force their hands to open up a bit and try to play football... . i fell like they gonna concede another shortly if they dont

[BacheLot]

they open up it seems and their counters from wing seem to be working well... but they are badly lacking a 9 to put finishing touches..!!
if scoreline hold or especially if they concede another , im pretty sure one of sardar or holzek will come in at HT or shortly after..!!
if Sardar could beat holzek to first sub that would be a very encouraging sign but fat chance of that..??

[Medzdidz]

Against a team like Dortmund it is good to have a number 9 who can hold the ball up and bring others into play. Bring Sardar on.

Here is another goal for dortmund 2/0
