I take it we’re all in total and unanimous agreement that Moura is on his way to cult figure status. His enthusiasm, his passion, his ability, the fact that he’s arguably the best header at the club despite being 4ft tall, oh and that CL hat trick.

Hero material.

Such an odd player. Goes games looking bang average and then does stuff like that. He's going to be a cult hero for years to come, love his celebrations

I came here to post exactly this.

I just love the guy!

I believe that we will miss a gigantic golden opportunity if we don't at least try a few times a system in which we can have Kane, Son and Moura on the pitch at the same time with a set up which have the other 7 outfield players working their bollocks off to give those 3 attacking freedom.

We'd definitely need a fourth player dedicated to attacking though, we need a playmaker in there.

Liv seem to do just fine without one, though I think that's the beauty of Lo Celso and his flexibility. Poch needs to find ways to include Moura in his team more, he always bangs on about bravery well we should see the player who is bravest for us in the team more instead of safe options like Sissoko.

He is like our equivalent to Pedro at Chelsea. He'll never be a Prolific goalscorer, he'll never be player of the season, but he will give 110% in every game and can produce the goods when it matters.

Extremely important player to have in the squad. I honestly think he'll be here until his early-mid thirties.

Liverpool play Firmino as a false nine, dropping deep to act as a creator as much as a goalscorer. That's not Kane's game, he's a natural goalscorer and he should be played as such.

Liverpool also have two incredibly productive wingbacks who combined for thirty assists last season. We can't replicate their system with Rose and Walker-Peters, who will be lucky to manage half of that between them.

Kane has all the play making ability Firminho has, one of the best passers on our team and is outstanding when players run off and ahead of him.

Hopefully he can get the understanding back with son that he had in the first half of last season.

When his heart is full of Spurs he's nine feet tall.

Like how they built out for corners. I assume not possible for us because of the NFL pitch below

Not possible because the park lane is so close to the pitch. Although it only seems to be a couple of fans that think it's an issue.

In world feed coverage, Andy Townsend said post match that there was a collective hush around Emirates, "the stadium drew deep breaths" was the exact quote, whenever Son had the ball and ran at Arsenal defence. They were scared shitless at Son's pace.

I'm disappointed Poch didnt recognise this and throw Moura on. I understand Dele need the minutes to get up to scratch, but that final 20 30 mins were made for Moura to run at them.

We also needed to try to refrain control of the game. If we were losing I'm certain Lucas would have come on instead

Agree, Dele was a waste of a Substitution; came on and didn't contribute offensively well and shockingly didn't work hard defensively at all. Moura should have been on for Son and Lo Celso for Lamela. I think Poch has a bit of favouritism when it comes to Dele. Moura is a decent goal scorer and has been in better form this year than him.
