8 goals and 5 assists so far in what I am considering a poor season for him, pretty decent numbers all things considered. Still goes missing too often. 

This is just what you have to accept with players such as Azaz, it's very similar to how Tadic was perceived by some fans during his time here.

They will go missing, they won't always be in the game, but they'll have moments in the game which can potentially change it up through a bit of imagination or forward skill. These players don't run at that output 90mins a game, but you play them and get them into as much space as possible, because they have more chance of doing it than others.

Alright, let's not get too ahead of ourselves. Very good championship player but wouldn't make it in the Prem, and as such i'd rate Scienza and Jander above him. 

Tricky call I think,he’s a strange player is our Azaz some  of his vision and passing is actually top draw, take that curling long pass  he played last match for fellows to run onto, that was so good Glenn hoddle would of been proud of it  ..yet other elements of his game are more championship level he probably doesn’t have the touch and trickery to be a world beater but his vision and ability to unlock a defence would still be there in the premiership

Indeed, having some bell (bound to be a poster on here!) behind me constantly berating Tadic still rings in my ears. 
Anyway, for me, Azaz is an excellent player, and after a difficult start (not just for him) we’re really seeing that now. Playing him as a 10 has also helped. Last game he was popping up all over the place, finding space, coming short, getting in the box, time on the ball for those killer passes etc.  
With Fellows and Leo wide, we should, hopefully be seeing a lot more chances and goals. Here’s hoping anyway.
