Personally just feel there’s an unfair bias when it comes to Moore now
He makes a mistake and it’s brought up time and time again. Any very good pieces of defending is scarcely acknowledged. His block off the line was very good defending. Aside from yourself, was barely mentioned on the MD thread. Dann’s role in their goal was pretty awful too. Again, not highlighted to anywhere near the same extent as Moore’s
The bottom line is we all get he’s a high earner. We all get he seems to be regressing year on year. He probably wouldn’t be in many people’s strongest XI with everyone fit. But it doesn’t mean people have to only remember the bad and not the good parts to his game
We’ve tried scapegoats before. We’ve taken them out the team, we’ve still struggled and we’ve found new ones to fill the void. Recurring story. Not sure taking him (or Ejaria) out would give the quick magic fix that some anticipate will happen
Last time he left the team we went from conceding about three goals a game to two clean sheets in a row. We were losing yesterday with him on the pitch, thanks to his error. He left it, we picked up a draw.
We'd need someone to replace Ejaria which we don't have fit right now.
He also cleared one off the line which would've been game over, so swings and roundabouts.
Yeah he did his job properly there, but it wasn't anything I wouldn’t expect a defender to do routinely. It was pretty much right at him, but he got it and made it safe.
Leaving two free for a tap in with a square ball for the right choice from Grabban
