Hope that counts as a goal or assist for a bet. Good game.
2-1 Hearts. This is some game.
Nah, it was neither. The defender had it nicked off him by the Rangers goal scorer on the line.
Prob will count as an assist. He played a part in the goal.
...do you mean you were once Scottish?I remember feeling stuff like the Rangers fans are feeling right now...
Good times
Forget the quality up there, this experience will do him SO much good...
Being part of a team fighting for a Title with the weight of GENUINE expectation from the fans will stand him in better stead than feeding off scraps and minutes with us whilst we're scrapping around at the bottom!
He'll come back a man... and maybe with a Winners' medal round his neck n'all!
Yeah only way we should rush him back next season is if we get relegated.
In that case we'll simply become the top-end Championship club we would've intended to loan him to.

Seems like a player that would work best with other technical players, he likes to link and pass and move but he isn’t a powerhouse or explosive player despite having a quick turn. Almost reminds me of Eze in terms of player style.
I'd say Foden personally, that busy little guy that you're marking then, take your eye off him for a second, and he's on the other side of the pitch receiving the ball in space.
To me he's a lot slower than Foden. More like Gascoigne, but not as strong.
Not sure about the strength, the kid is an absolute tank for his age.
I’d say he’s about the same speed as Grealish and faster than Kane.
His mentality, IQ and technical ability is right there to be an elite #10 imo. But no rush. If he’s not in the Prem next season that’s fine, not everyone needs to be Yamal and tbh the Prem demands so much running, it burns through players fast.
Gazza was freakishly strong, even as a teenager. He was bullying seasoned pros in the old first division as a teenager Moore isn't in that category, though is looking stronger than last year for sure. He'll need it as he's not fast. But as you say, strength, IQ and technical ability all look very good.
Yeah Mikey's bulked up but he still get pushed off the ball when he tries to be too cute with his dribbles. He can hold his own in the men's game now which is progress but hes pretty average in every physical aspect - not especially strong, fast or powerful.
I think to make it at Spurs he's gonna have to be absolutely exceptional at the other areas of the game, as elite physicality is almost a base requirement in the PL these days.
Luckily his technique is already sublime. His first touch and the way he keeps the ball so close to his feet when he dribbles...it's up there with anyone in our current squad and better than the vast majority.
Think his decision-making is gonna be the biggest area of to improvement to really excel in the PL. If he cant beat the league physically hes gonna have to be a step ahead mentally AND technically.
Hes's getting there but hes still a year or two away I think.
