Player Mikey Moore

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Rangers seem an odd team at the moment, can get themselves motivated and organised against some 'better' teams, but can't reliable beat the cannon fodder in the SPL. Moore could massively help them in that.
 
I want to put it on record that this is a bad loan for Mikey. There manager has thrown the players under the bus after his first league game and fans turning on players it could be a very toxic season.

Could be the very opposite. He will be operating in a technically much weaker league so in theory will be one of the most technical players in the SPL. That is a chance to become a talisman very quickly, your learn more in the deep end anyway. If he has the right mentality this could be a brilliant opportunity.

Agree and he’ll also play in front of big crowds, demanding fans and pressure. If he deals with it and the physicality then it will be making of him.

  • "I think we were lucky to get a point. We were nowhere near where we need to be. And I'm extremely disappointed and hurt by that. They were braver than us. They were more aggressive than us."
  • "The thing I can't accept is, whatever the tactics are, we got outfought and they were braver than us to play in certain moments.”
  • "We pick and choose when we want to play properly and when we want to run hard. When the game's not going well, we have too many players that want to do their own thing and slip into self-preservation.”
  • "This is not me blaming the players at all; I think it's a problem the club has had over the last few years. When it's going well, it's fine, and when it's not, there's a problem. It's not together enough on the pitch.”
  • "I've said to the players, there is a default here at this football club to revert to type. When it's going really well, everyone's all in. When it's not going well, you protect yourself a little bit. You can't play for this club and just enjoy the really good moments. You have to be all in all the time."
  • "We had two men on the pitch today that want to do what they want to do. When you want to just jog around and do what you want to do, there's a big problem. So some of them have to drop their ego."
  • "There'll be people left behind if they don't want to come because they need to understand what playing for this football club will take and what it means."
  • "The lethargy and all that stuff is not acceptable. So I'm surprised by that. But I'm more angry than surprised."
  • "I will look at us tactically and accept my responsibility in it. But today, it's a mentality problem. And we got more than what we deserved, actually."
 
Moore might get swamped under the toxicity at Rangers.

When a manager starts talking egos so soon into their tenure, it sounds to me like scapegoating.

Bottom line is that a manager makes the choices on who plays, and determines who is brought on and taken off,or left out of a squad, if they feel that person or persons have a negative influence.

Hopefully it settles and Moore thrives.
