Player Mikey Moore

We don’t need to be playing him 90 minutes every game as a 17 year old, but he should be getting 500-1000 PL minutes this season and another 700-1000 between the cups and Europa.

If Son doesn't make the weekend, give this kid the start please.

He was brilliant tonight. Weight of pass excellent but more importantly, zero fear. Plays football the way it should be played.

Agreed. The first minute of his first start in pro football he takes the ball and runs at players, draws a foul. Absolutely fearless, you can't teach that. Still early days obviously but he looks very good.

Get him playing now. He’s ready. Lamine Yamal never got held back when he was deemed good enough and it’s done him,Barca and Spain no harm.
The boy is special and is now ready to fight Johnson and Sonny. He’s actually better on the left so Sonny needs to up his game. This is the type of player I want to see play for us.

just so long as we carefully manage his minutes i’m cool with it!
 
Yesterday continued to show me that he isn't a winger long term. I think he's destined to play centrally. You want that sort of player on the ball as much as possible.
 
Can go outside and cut inside whether he is playing on either side. He is strong. He has great technical ability. He has a fierce shot. He can play cute passes.

I am not putting pressure on the kid or anything but he is fucking good.

I do agree with not throwing him in and make him a regular but he definitely has to start games and not just in cups. Some players are ready for the big time and he might just be one of them. If Ange is clever with him which I think he will then he’ll have big impacts this season.

We'll be smart to just go down the Foden route for the most part.

He didn't start a Prem game until he was 19 years old. Despite playing thousands of minutes across multiple competitions the previous two seasons. (incl starting CL games)

Let him know he's the future of the club but keep that drive in him to get to that point and not just hand him everything and overwork him. Keep him hungry.

You have what is technically known as, shit in your eyes.

That shit is because he is English, if he was a young Scot belting them in against France, Italy etc this summer, you would be drooling at the mouth about him (unless you truly have the worst eye on this forum?).

He looked leggy, as he often does, but isn’t grown yet and is full time training in an Ange regime, one which rendered the ever fit Solanke injured after sub 2weeks!

Your queefs are unpalatable.

I think he's going to be part of our first team for years to come, but the fanbase had the same hysteria for Onomah and Edwards.

If we view Moore with the experienced cold objectivity that I have consistently proven myself to have where football talent evaluation is concerned, we see a player who shows signs of top flight ability but has a long road to travel before cementing his place.

Is he a champions league winner? Will he regularly command a starting place for his national team? Will he even stave off a step down in years to come, like a move to a Leicester or West Brom? None of this can be answered by his displays to date.

I have cast my great eye on the subject. I will review in due course.

Those perfectly-weighted through-balls in behind the lines are what I'm most excited about. Lots of wingers are good dribblers; this shows he has brains to go with it.

even his passes to feet were clean and weighted right. you dont want him out wide by the touchline either tho, we havent got one winger that suits being out that wide to be honest, maybe werner because you dont want him anywhere near the goal lol.

Nothing more exciting than this tbh, a special player coming through the ranks. Hopefully our injury situation levels out a bit and there's not too much excpected of him too soon.

Tbh I'm not sure that Moore can't be used as a touchline winger - it seems to be the role he's played for the academy quite a bit and he looks incredibly dynamic out there.

For instance, I loved it yesterday when for our first goal he took it on the right touchline and drove inside and slipped a ball into the mixer. Didn't find the man but created enough chaos in the box for something to happen. We don't see nearly enough of that from our other wingers.
