If he doesn't start the next game, that's ridiculously unfair and I'm not sure what he'd have to do to start.

I said at the time he should have been brought on against Juventus at home when we were ahead and they had to come out of their shell a bit and gaps were appearing.

I know Poch likes to ease players in, but he has been under used since he has arrived imo.

He is just born to play football. Ridiculous talent on display and only given a few minutes. Worryingly, If we had not been behind I bet Sissoko would have come on before him.

Poch is feeding him the most stingy drip feed of opportunities. The fact he did so well only made a bigger mockery of this.

I think Poch sees everything in terms of the system and players pressing etc etc Maybe he wants to see more of that from Moura but on the attacking side..especially control through the 2nd 3rd into the final third we always needed more creativity. Eriksen is great but in general we do better on the counter moving into space on the way upfield but we sometimes gave a tough time breaking down defences that are tough. Another ball player with talent can help. Moura has some class about him.
Poch is not neccesarily a creative thinker as opposed to being the systems man..and pushing the system as it is.

Poch is a good manager but no creative genius.
He wantscwhat he wants and the way he gets locked in, is some player gets injured and another comes in and does something,he starts to look up.
I dont think he sees Moura as a talent yet.
He doesnt play him against Stoke but used him today out of a sense of desperation.
Afainst Stoke he could have created some chemistry with the otjers and we would see how good he can be. It was a lost opportunity. Hopefully Poch daw something today.
