Mikey Moore

Players mature both physically & mentally at different ages

On the physical side, too many games/injuries during growth periods can fudge them for life

Be an interesting exercise of how many 16/17 years olds that broke into top level football went on to have a career into their 30's vs. those that broke into game in early 20's (really don't know answer)
I don't disagree my argument is that him playing that singular game against Palace will not have damaged him and if it does mentally then he's not got the character he's going to need to make it as a professional.
I disagree with this part of your post. That would be 3 starts in less than a week. That’s too much to put on a 17 year old with little experience, with the previous game being so physical and intense.

The funny thing is that if he hadn’t started one of our previous 2 games, I would start him today against City, I think he would do well against them.
That's a decent point and again I don't disagree tbh, if he's playing every game after game then the pressure could become to much or the physically demands might tell.

I think playing too many games will hurt him physically but not mentally by any means
 
Not in any of the England age group teams so must be more than just under the weather. Although a few weeks rest and probably more chance for gym work probably wouldn’t be a bad thing.
 
Sure I saw he would be out for another month, doesn't sound great that

Dunno what virus Moore caught but looks like we’re down to bare bones in wide forward position for a few more weeks at least

Speaking after training on Wednesday, Ange gave us this update:

"Mikey’s the other one, and we’re still taking it slowly with him, it’s still probably a couple of weeks before he’ll be ready to get properly back into it.”

Was hoping to see him get minutes against Roma, always fun to see him play. Perhaps taking it extra slow with him as he's so young, if so probably a good thing.

Kulu, johnson, son, werner. Not exactly bare bones. Maddison has played wings before.

I think Kulusevski is mostly a special occasions wide player now. Or emergency option.

And with Son we know we have a player that we'll probably have to manage carefully with regards to minutes played.

But yes, not quite bare bones. Luckily we have Timo Werner.
 
I wonder/assume/think it is Glandular Fever.
I felt crappy for a couple of months when I was about 24.
I had a blood test and they said I was fine and should just man up.
Then 3 months later they apologised and said they mixed up the samples, and I did have GF after all !!

Glandular fever is a viral infection that mostly affects teenagers and young adults. It gets better without treatment, but it can last for weeks and make you feel very ill.

Check if it's glandular fever
Glandular fever is most common in people aged 15 to 24 years old.

Symptoms of glandular fever may include:

high temperature
swollen glands, which may be in the neck, head, armpits, elbows, or groin
sore throat
a rash, which may be harder to see on black or brown skin
headache
tiredness
