Toulouse (A) Europa League

I thought Mo was having a great season until the last 3 or 4 games. Goals and assists, really creative. But the last few games he's been woeful.

Yeah, he'd been great with numerous assists and goals but last few performances havent been great.

He seems to be the only one who plays almost every game - perhaps that needs to change.

Anything less than a win feels like a loss!

He's been great up until the last few games but those have been dreadful.

he needs to sort that crackhead hair out for a start. FFS Mo.

He's starting to look like Bubbs from The Wire

[Harv]

Why would you want him on the left?

He’s not quick enough for wide forward/winger anyway.

Mean the RW sorry.

Neither is Mo any more.

Mo is still much quicker then Harvey. Mo is also far, far better at everything else than Harvey.

He does need playing time managed better though (as does Szobozlai).
Harvey or Doak should be taking these minutes in these types of cup games, instead of Mo starting or coming on at half time.

Harv is determined to convince us all Mo is done

[Harv]

Well he's been flogged to death for what 6/7 seasons now?

It's going to happen. He's getting older. He'll always score goals, but his overall actual play has regressed massively ever since that last Afcon. He's becoming CRonaldo like in a way. Scores goals, but needs everything running through him and players deferring to him. Its not good for the team IMO.

His pace is rapidly vanishing- remember when he used to run AWAY from defenders on our counter attacks, now they gobble him up before the halfway line , his dribbling has vanished and his shooting ability from outside the box has also disappeared.

He was. He's not now though. Just because his legs move fast doesn't mean he's running fast.

He's also not far far better and everything than Harvey. He's a better finisher, no doubt (on close range shots, he cant hit a long range shot to save his life anymore), id say they're pretty equal in passing, Mo edging it slightly (when he actually passes), dribbling - Harvey has him there now.

Youre looking at Mo as though he's the same player he was 4 years ago. He quite clearly isn't. This is what im getting at, and people like Buzzo have their heads in the sand about. He's getting older, slower and our style of play just doesn't suit those players. He is rapidly coming up to his use-by-date. Like it or not. Its got nothing to do with wanting him gone, or not liking him, its the cold hard reality of life.

When you've got the arabs offering ~200m for him then as a club, we would be negligent to not take that deal at his age IMO.

I disagree with you slightly here, that doesnt mean I am wrong - and definitely doesnt mean you are right. He has changes his game, is getting some sublime assists and still scoring goals. He doesnt get the opportunity to skin players for speed, and you are right doesnt have express pace any more. But he still posts numbers that most forwards can only dream about.

Mo doesn’t appear to to faster than Harvey, he just is. He literally covers ground quicker. Harvey’s one of the slowest players at the club. Mo could play 4000 minutes a season for the rest of his career and he’ll still be quicker than Harvey when he’s 40

Mo is currently objectively better than Harvey at all of those attributes you mention.

And i’m not denying that he’s getting older, nor am I looking at Mo of 4 years ago. I’m looking at him now. He’s still a player who delivers 40+ G/A a season. Elite numbers. He’ll do it this season again too. I doubt Harvey would manage even close to half of that if he was a regular starter.

And if you think he doesn’t suit our style of play, then I think you’d be in for a rude awakening if you saw Harvey playing his role week in week out.

so does cronaldo...

In Saudi.

Mo is second top scorer in the prem. Joint top assists.

[danperkins]

Our top scorer and recent prem player of the month is the least of our worries.

Midfield is the problem, it's clear and obvious we lack balance there.
