Mikey Moore

Wasn't involved much. Supply to him was non-exsistent to be fair.

Would rather he doesn't get played from the start, especially against physical teams like Palace. Continue to let him get 20-30 mins at the end of the game and keep the pressure off him for now.

Didn’t have much choice today. He was fit and available and unfortunately Son and Odobert weren’t. Had Son been fit then he would have got the nod. Dare say Odobert would have started over him too.
 
I think sometimes Ange makes decisions just to prove to people his judgement is correct. He said we had to ease Moore in and be careful with him whilst everyone was hyping him up saying he should start.

It was either Moore or Werner whose confidence is on the floor at the moment and tbh Moore was better the other night and totally deserved the start. Ange was probably hoping the rest of the team wouldn’t completely brick the bed and we wouldn’t have to rely on a 17 year old so no issue from me re Ange playing Moore today.

If think he was knackered and didn’t know how to win the physical battle
He looked like a 17 year old with no experience who had played mid week

Werner did ok when he came on Tbf
Ange was right though with his line up
Game was lost in midfield where Ange got it massively wrong

We did have a choice. Werner was available, so was Richy, both could've started and let Moore come on at the end. In hindsight Richy was probably the right choice as at least he would be up for a physical battle.
Playing Moore because he's better than Werner is short sighted and not looking at what is the best for his development.

Moore or Werner? I would have gone for Moore today, and I would the next game also. Werner is one thing consistently and that is the word ineffective. I'm happy enough trying the unknown who may reward you with something over the known that you know will fail and Werner has failed, he failed last season and he's failing this season.

Disagree
Werner is effective at opening up the game
Even though we know he couldn’t hit a barn door
He did the right thing in playing Moore though because he earned the start

Fundamentally I don't believe it would have made a difference who we started outside today because the issue wasn't wastefulness or loss of the ball. Instead our overall issue was in midfield, so sure start even Richy and he can battle all he wants but Richy isn't a dribbler so sure he's gonna battle but he's going to lose the ball (as he did when he came on).

We needed control of the midfield to create the platform for the wide players and striker to get involved and be effective. Without that foundation the name who started on the left makes no difference. Especially if those options were Werner or Richarlison. These are not game changers we are talking about.

Not a game to judge him on. We were desperately awful and couldn't get the ball to him or our other attackers enough to make much of an impact.

I hope that nobody does that. Palace should have been booked earlier for trying to take him out of his game, at which they succeeded. He got a dose of EPL reality today after a fantastic debut. He'll come good and more than that I'm sure, but a Wayne Rooney he's not.

Maybe I'm biased but I really didn't think he was bad. I'd say he was out best player in the first half (not a difficult feat to achieve of course). I wonder if the expectations are now too high so instead of seeing the positives he had we are looking at what he wasn't able to do?

I'm not saying playing Richy would've solved anything, just that between him and Werner for todays game that was physical he was probably the right choice. We needed players with fight. As I've said in other posts the game was lost in midfield because we didn't have anyone willing to battle against Palaces midfield who were all much more physical than us and totally dominated us.

Richy was really poor midweek playing his favoured role now
I’m not convinced he will play many more for us wide

True, but he's only back. He's viewed as a backup CF now. But as the original point stated him and Werner were options and we didn't have to play Moore.

Richarlison at a push I can see. But no to Werner. I don’t think it was a crazy decision to start Moore today. He was brilliant in midweek and starting him today isn’t going to completely ruin him. As I said before, Ange was probably hoping the rest of the team would turn up and Moore wouldn’t be relied upon that much. I don’t know how many more inept performances and misses we can see from Werner until people are finally fed up of him. I only want to see him if literally no options are available.
