‘Interesting’: Gary Neville delivers ruthless verdict of Mikey Moore after defeat of United
Tottenham fans are riding high after a series of impressive performances, with the team showing great form in recent weeks.
Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson have been in sensational scoring form, while young star Mikey Moore has finally started getting the game time fans have been asking for.
With back-to-back clean sheets and dominant victories, including a statement 3-0 win over Manchester United, it’s clear that Ange Postecoglou’s team is making its mark on the Premier League this season.
The win at Old Trafford was not just about Manchester United’s struggles, despite Bruno Fernandes being sent off for much of the game.
Even before the red card, Tottenham was already in control, proving that their performance was not dependent on the opposition’s misfortunes.
The north London club moved the ball effortlessly, creating multiple chances that kept United on the back foot from the start.
Postecoglou gave a clear nod to the future by bringing on highly-touted academy prospect Mikey Moore for a 20-minute cameo.
Spurs fans had been eagerly awaiting his appearance, chanting for him during the match, especially after Timo Werner, starting in place of the injured Son Heung-min, missed several scoring opportunities.
The on-loan German forward had a difficult afternoon, but the fans’ focus shifted to Moore once he entered the field.
Moore immediately made an impression, showing why he has been so highly regarded within the Tottenham ranks.
With just minutes left in the game, he nearly added his name to the scoresheet, cutting in from the left and curling a shot just wide of the post.
His confident play caught the attention of Gary Neville, who commented positively on the young forward’s contribution during his brief appearance.
Neville noted that Moore looked “sharp” and “interesting,” putting in a solid performance against Manchester United’s fullback Noussair Mazraoui, who found it tough to contain him.
As Tottenham prepares for their next Europa League match against Ferencvárosi, there is growing speculation that Moore could earn his first start for the club, especially if Son remains sidelined or limited to the bench.
The Europa League offers a perfect opportunity for the young forward to showcase his talent on a bigger stage, and many believe he could take over from Werner, whose form has been inconsistent.
After their European outing, Tottenham will face a tough challenge on the road against high-flying Brighton.
The Seagulls have been in fine attacking form, scoring goals with ease, but their defense showed vulnerabilities in their recent match against Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, who netted four goals.
Tottenham will need to be sharp, particularly with the fatigue that comes from European travel, but their current attacking prowess suggests they will relish the chance to face Brighton’s leaky defense.
With Tottenham continuing to build momentum, the upcoming fixtures will test the depth and resilience of Postecoglou’s squad.
Moore’s emergence as a potential attacking option offers an exciting new dimension, and Spurs fans will be watching closely to see how their young star develops in the coming weeks.
