On his birthday he listens to the entire AC/DC back catalogue So would that be CD/CA? Isn't that what Nick suffers from ? |

Did notice that both Australia’s friendlies are not long haul, I.e one game in Oslo and another in London. That’s kind to us

His influence is going to be massive during the run in, starting with Palace on Saturday. If he is firing on all cylinders then we have nothing to worry about, bring it on.

Unbelievable last season but is offering absolutely nothing atm....harsh but if Williams was fit he shouldn’t be in the team & why oh why is he still taking set pieces???
That said there were many shockers in the team yesterday, I honestly think even 2 more wins & a draw could just be enough but God knows where the points are coming from 🙄utt 🐶

His control and ability to retain it whilst pressured remain but where have all the incisive 20 yards passes gone? He is like Ray Wilkins on mogadon the last few games.

Ignores, or is unaware of the fact, that his form has dipped in 2018, albeit he has been incredibly important for us this season and last. Article goes on to talk about Shelvey. I think we had the better Baldy in 2017, but the tables have turned this year, although one should not forget the Bournemouth Vs Newcastle game where MOTD cameras and analysis captured Shelvey capitulating in the last 10 minutes, as Bournemouth rescued a point. |

The brightside of Mooy's 'dip' might be that we're not in danger of losing him in the summer? I'm not sure how many teams would have been coming knocking anyway - but he clearly belongs in this division and he may well have had his head turned had a bigger club come sniffing.
There may well be some interest still, but perhaps not of the required value.

Please people. Football is a game of flow, and a team has to attack as one, using space and movement to create situational and spacial advantage. The success of attacks is based on two elements, the precision of ball movement / possession and the positivity and sophistication of movement.
The Premier League is the most athletic and fastest league in the sport. Of our wide players, save perhaps Kongolo, would most probably not be selected for any other premier league squad let alone starting XI. None of our team have even played in this level before.
Our team, the smallest squad and lowest budget, is short of quality and experience and outmatched on paper every single time they take the field. During this long and mentally demanding season, our team is often short of energy and positive movement because confidence is low and fear is paralysing.
This is the context in which Aaron Mooy has to play. He is asked to fight his bollocks off week in and week out, he runs, he tackles, he takes the ball under pressure and in tight spots and retains possession consistently even though there is probably only Pritchard who always wants the ball. Any player in possession needs movement to produce killer passes, and if you have an incisive array of movement around you, you have targets to hit.
If the quality of Aaron Mooy is lost on you then you know not what you see.

VLP had just tracked back to his own box and won the ball in the left back position. Mooy had read the situation before Raj had even set back off the other way, drew the chasing opposition player in then pulled back out into space behind. The return of the 1-2 was perfect and took 3 Watford players out of the game. I think he then got the ball at the end of VLP's run and smashed a 40 yard ball straight to Flo on the opposite flank. What he does I don't think anyone else in our team could. More than anything, his reading of the game is well above the rest. People seem to judge him on not playing miracle 30 yard through balls all the time when his game is much, much more than that. |

People seem to judge him on not playing miracle 30 yard through balls all the time when his game is much, much more than that. It’s just a shame he doesn’t do it more often (I’m aware it’s hard!). He’s touched the ball more often than any Liverpool player this season, a team who try and play the kind of dominant possession game that we were able to do last year but have mostly struggled with this season (cos it’s hard). That he’s had so much possession and so little positive has come from it has been a big disappointment for me, I think he can contribute much more positively than he has done overall this season. I reckon next season we likely sacrifice the number ten more often which leaves him playing in a three and gives him a bit more freedom to create risks knowing if things break down there’s not just Hogg trying to fill the holes, think this might be a more natural way of playing, especially with Williams back fit, a three of Williams, Hogg and Mooy, with Billing on the bench looks more robust than the pair with Pritchard in front, especially as games get stretched a little late on. Hopefully we’re still up here next season (I reckon we will be), we’ll gradually get better at playing this harder football hopefully...throw in “a better” player to fight for a start with those above and it’s easy to see how we could become reasonably established if we have a bit of luck over the next 18 months. PS....to answer another point on his thread, Hogg, Whitehead (and Crainie) have prior EPL experience. |

Mooy's importance to us felt very clear to me when he came off against Bournemouth (when I think it's fair to say he'd looked like he was returning to form). Not realising he'd gone down due to a nasty cut, I thought he'd sustained a knee injury that would be likely to keep him out for the rest of the season. My initial thought was, "How are we going to stay up without him?" I'd only rank Schindler as more integral to our team at the moment.

£8 Million was an absolute snip for Mooy, I never thought we’d get him back, not even when we made it to the Premier League. With the amount of money being chucked about in the league and on wages I think it’s laughable that we were able to get that one sorted with minimal fuss.
Hopefully this year teams will be busy scouting World Cup hype whilst we pick off the smart signings.

The measure of Mooy's worth to our team is shown when he doesn't play. Understandably he's not been as dominant and effective for us this season (no surprise), but even then he is still a key player for us. His passing has not been as good this season - better teams have found more effective ways of nullifying him - but he still knits so much of our play together and has scored some very important goals. Can anyone imagine us staying up without him?

If/as soon as we are safe we rest Mooy and give him some time off before the world cup. He's played non stop for two years and needs to re-charge the batteries.

Because his targets are now 30 yards away and pressed by opposition players. Personally think he is playing well - just the game around him is far different in the Premier League. He could control the pace and tempo of games in the Championship. Much harder to do that in the Premier League other than in short spells. |

Just to add: I thought Mooy played much better against Watford. Not at his brilliant best, but better than he has been playing. He played far more forward/creative balls than he has been doing.

If the team can get up the pitch then so can Mooy. Not much point of him dashing up the field on his own or we just get out of shape. |

The criticism of Mooy this season has been extremely harsh in my opinion. At times he has struggled but for good reason. He’s miles ahead in terms of quality then any other midfielder we have. Teams have pressed him with top quality players and added to that - the players around him aren’t the best, Hes also probably shattered most of the time, given how much ground he covers. So what is he supposed to do? Rip the premier league a new arsehole on his own like he did the championship? The expectation on that guy is ridiculous.
