Moussa in the middle?

[GBJ]

So the mooooose got a run out in the centre today for 20 odd minutes. Question is, how well did he do?

Listening to the radio, which obviously isn't the best way of gauging a players performance, it seemed like Moose was terrible in the first half, but came into his own when switched to the middle. So, put simply, on his performance in the centre today, does he warrant a starting role in there? Does he offer that creativity that we have lacked in recent games?

He was rubbish in 1st half, and only a little better in the 2nd. sorry, that's not prejudice.

Why not....Macca could do with a rest/kick up the bum

And you'll all realise how important he has been when he's gone in January.

Ran the show when he was switched into the centre of midfield. He could actually pass the ball to a blue shirt, which helped.

Looks a bit tired lately. Hardly suprising considering hes age and the amount of games he has played.

He is playing poorly lately granted, but why is that? Is it low confidence? Is it a young man being stroppy about continually being played out of position? Is it a professional who is fed up with the **** surrounding the club?

As i said the radio reports on him weren't brilliant in the first half, but i got the impression he performed much better when shifted into the middle.

I'd be tempted to drop JFC to the bench, let Moose run the centre, with Macca and let Scannell or Walker have a go on the wing

Ah but he did get an assist for the away team? If not, he's not worthy. (apparently)

Moussa based on the latter part of this season should stay in the middle. The middle of the subs bench. He's been cack for the last few months. Shame as he started to show promise early on.

No better in the middle today.

To be honest i think the Mooouuuse got a little confused today as to where he was playing, he had Macca bollicking him quite a bit today and the kid wasn't sure whether he should accept a 'right hander' from Macca or a rollicking from Tilly, the sooner we get the whole team in settled positions the better, we proved today that we have, not a good team, but a great team, let's remember that the Pool beat Millwall 3-0 last week.
As for Macca, superb performance today (even if he didn't get booked), he was key to an awful lot that was good for us, he was also key to the recovery we made when things were going bad. OBL has summed things up pretty well, i think Macca is looking to go in January, i think RM is rubbing his greasy little paws together waiting to see how much we can get for him and from whom, yep we will then all miss him. I was at the match today, i got to the ground at before 2 pm, i left the ground at about 5 30 pm (my priveledge). Macca worked as hard if not harder than anyone out there, he deserves whatever comes to him. As for his game play today? i watched the game intently (as always). Macca's contribution was superb.

Macca, we will miss you mate. UTB.

I don't think it made a massive difference, he wasn't there for long and I thought he played OK overall.

I thought he looked so comfortable in the middle, and was pulling the strings, shouting good instructions to everyone else, and pinging great passes around all over the place.

In the middle of the park he could be phenominal!!

This is not against Macca, who I actually thought had his best 45 minutes of the season in that 2nd half

If you'd have said that against Charlton I might've believed you - Macca, I mean, Moussa has been poor for the last 4 or 5 games. Nothing today convinced me more than saying he did ok.

 

[Maidstone Shrimper]

Macca played for 10 minutes today and turned the game around. For the rest of the time he bottled challenges, gave Hartlepool their first goal, was guilty of ball watching on innumerable occasions and mouthed off his teammates. Moussa was much improved as of late and when moved into central midfield showed what a difference a player who can make a simple pass to a Blue shirt makes and can add that telling pass. Macca is our weakest link in midfield. Goodbye. Hallo Mousse.
